Oh, no. Don't like hearing that! Here's a bushel of flowers and some apples to keep the doctor away. Enough to share with everyone who is feeling poorly. :-)

My son has had the flu too. He's working in Angola and, just like a man, didn't take any over-the-counter meds with him. Here he was going to a country where there are no Walgreens down the street and he doesn't even take aspirin with him. Can you believe it? NO woman would ever do that. So, he had a fever and no way to treat it. Went to the doctor at the base camp and got diagnosed and left with some real meds. Which is probably better anyway. He says he is feeling better. So thankful it was just the flu and not malaria. That is what everyone fears in that part of the world.

Sending a good morning ping to our ((((((((Wolfie!)))))))) in hopes he may be lurking nearby. ;-)

AhhhhhRoooooo! Wolfie felt you calling, fuzzy. I is here. For the moment. : )

Have a fine evening!!!

I’m snatchin’ THAT ONE!

LOL!

I just came over to check my computer and found this outstanding display of flowers and apples. It is gorgeous, Lori! Thank you so much! You are just so fancy with the little card attached.

Your son sounds like one of my sons. I tell him 2 things he should always have in his house is aspirin and Pepto-Bismol! But guess what, he won’t mind me....LOL! He’s the one who has been divorced quite a few years and men just don’t take care of these things like women do. Aspirin is good for many things and if a stomach ache comes along, the first thing to have is Pepto!!

I’m glad your son had a place to go to get medicine. By the way, what is he doing in Angola? I would worry to death with malaria lurking. How long will he be there anyway? Hope he’ll be coming home soon.

Thanks again so much for the beautiful bouquet of flowers and fruit!! That would make the sickest feel better!!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, my.....I do believe I have the vapors! Padding around on your wolf feet, I didn't hear you coming. ;-)

But love that you heard me calling (yes!!! I still got what it takes to bring ol' wolfie out of the woods!) and that you stopped by. Yes, I will have a fine evening. And you as well.

I have a pork roast in the oven. You're invited!

Thank you Meg, that is so kind of you and I appreciate your and everyone elses pings. I keep all of you in my prayers. Christmas is hard this year and I can’t get interested in much right now.

And I send a hello to ALL here, everyone at Just Amy’s.

[Mama_Bear]

Potlatch, I am sending you gentle hugs. My heart just goes out to you. I can’t even imagine the depth of your loss. Yes, Christmas will be hard. I am so sorry.

[potlatch]

Your kind words help Lori, thank you.

[yorkie]

Potlatch, big ((((HUGS)))) to you, at this time!

The company my son works for (one of the big oil companies) employes him at the new Angola Liquid Natural Gas plant in Soyo (on the Congo River). He is a Senior IT (information technology) Project Manager. He will be working on a 28 day rotation for the next four years or so. 28 days in Angola and then 28 days off at home. This is his first rotation over there, so he is dealing with some heavy duty culture shock. He says the poverty is heartbreaking.

Soyo is on the coast in northern Angola, out in the middle of nowhere. He lives in a little studio apartment on the base camp there (Kwanda Base), is not allowed to explore off the base, but from what I understand, there isn't anything to explore except jungle. He is happy to stay on the base. LOL. All their food is flown in by his company and medical services are available. It's a very good job, even though the commute is a killer. 30 hours, door to door. Anyway, he had to compete with a lot of applicants for this job, so I am very proud of him. And, with the internet, we can stay in contact, so it isn't really any different than when he is home. He comes home on the 18th, so he will be with us for Christmas. Yay!
