A new commemorative coin from the U.S. Mint and Treasury features a fresh depiction of Lady Liberty. With a crown of stars in her hair and a toga-like dress, she's as patriotic as ever. She's also, for the first time on an officially minted coin, portrayed as a black woman. The United States Mint unveiled the 24k gold coin in commemoration of their 225th anniversary. Gaze upon her beauty in full:

Mrs Don-o has had another episode of the kidney stone / urinary infection. She had this same thing in January, but this time we caught it before she reached a critical stage. She is in the hospital since yesterday. Her prognosis is very good and plan / hope for release in two or three days. She asks for your prayers. And along with your prayers, if you care to, tell us how we can pray for you. She has her laptop and is now online; so include her in replies. My thanks, in advance. And to assure that we can...

I've been discharged from Rehab and am now home. "Going slow, but still going." Thank you all for about a million prayers. What follows is my recollection --- or reflection --- or maybe raving --- about one thing I experienced while in critical condition. ------------------------------Raving----------------------------------- “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Mark Twain Hello, friends, this will have been your first and probably your last communication from me until Christ our God grants a better body/brain recovery.

“Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” Mark Twain Hello, Freepalicious friends, this will have been your first and probably your last communication from me until Christ our God grants a better body/brain recovery. But I wanted to write what I can before it all disappears down the Memory Hole. Collapsed on Jan 19, septic shock from UTI. EMT's say BP fell to something like 40. Dead. Cardiac arrest. And again. And again. Dead, dead, dead. No bright tunnel of light, no golden escalator with old Fleetwood Mac mix tapes, no exclusive book and movie rights. I even forgot...

She fell and I could not get her up. En route to ER. BP was low and temp high. Blood sugar is OK Please pray and ping. Thank you

Mrs Don-o wrecked on her bike this morning and has broken bones in both her arms plus a broken left elbow. She will have surgery tomorrow for the elbow. I left her in good spirits, after she was given some pain medication. As often happens, we meet angels all along the way - from the folks to stopped at the accident to render assistance and contact me - to the EMT's who transported her - to the wonderful staff at our medical center. Your prayers and pings are requested. don-o
