There And Back Again

I haven't written in a while because I have been bonkers. Another manic episode grabbed me like, as my Mom used to say, like Grant went through Richmond. After a winter punctuated by the flu and recovering from a broken ankle, I was fairly suicidal coming into April. So the man who loves me took me to the hospital.

The nurses took me to the viewing area, took my picture, gave me something to eat and talked to me for a while. After that, I qualified for a trip to St. Albans in Christiansburg, VA. I recommend this facility to anyone who has any problems at all.

Not only did I gain 20 pounds from the good food, I got to see one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. I saw nandina, norwegian pine, hibiscus, roses, peony, day lilies and lavender. I saw gerbera daisies and iris, kale and cabbages.

If it wasn't for all the insane people in there, I would have stayed forever. And some of the people weren't all that insane.
