While we were in Michigan a couple of week ago, we visited the Au Sable High River Overlook, near Mio! It was a gorgeous day and a beautiful view of the river. The fall colors were just beginning to show. I decided to do some notebook sketches and watercolors of our trip.
I did this one last Saturday when I was recovering from Covid. I thought I was about through it all and then this past Monday, I work up with a bad head cold and tested positive again! Ugh!! Today is the first I have felt better.

Have they put you on a new regimen of medications or do you just have to stay put and take it easy (a challenge for you, I bet)? Take care, and God bless. 🙏

I went for a doctor visit today and he put me on a ten-day antibiotic. Hopefully that will kick the head cold before it settles into my chest, which is often the progression for me. I am ready to get back to the real world again
