Love that. SeoAh and I went to Walmart yesterday in Evergreen. She has glaucoma and needs eyedrops, like I do, but had run out. Thanks to modern tech the Evergreen pharmacy could contact Georgia, Georgia could, as the pharmacy clerk said, &#8220;Push a button.&#8221; Then, a text would go to SeoAh&#8217;s phone as we shopped. Not a fan of Walmart due to its low wages and small town downtown busting habits, but in this instance a good deal for SeoAh. It happened that way. While she shopped for bleach to give her hair highlights, a text came in.<\/p>\n<p>Ran into a mussar friend at Walmart. Her husband has prostate cancer that has spread to his spine and, perhaps, his lungs. MRI tomorrow. He&#8217;s starting radiation and is already getting hormone treatment. Doesn&#8217;t sound good. I do like running into folks I know at the store. Small town living.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently Saturdays are for new recipes. SeoAh made a sweet tofu wrapped rice confection, Japanese. Wonderful. Also, an egg drop soup with dumplings and rice cakes.<\/p>\n<p>Jon&#8217;s got a new printing technique, one he used yesterday to &#8220;print&#8221; a paper bag. It&#8217;s amazing. He&#8217;s using found objects, mostly metal, to create colorful prints of shapes that look vaguely familiar, yet also abstract. He said in a later text that he&#8217;s glad Ruthie and I are exploring oils together. Me, too.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49635\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49635\" style=\"width: 282px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49635\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/20190112_115759-e1547390163108-420x747.jpg\" alt=\"Latest\" width=\"282\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/20190112_115759-e1547390163108-420x747.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/20190112_115759-e1547390163108-744x1323.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/20190112_115759-e1547390163108-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/20190112_115759-e1547390163108-1200x2133.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49635\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Latest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Waxing Moon Dominant white.
