My doctor says he needs to operate on this knee that’s been giving me trouble. I better make some changes to the house, so I can still get around while I’m recovering.

My elderly father has episodes where he faints and then wakes up again. He might need a pacemaker, but dad is 97 and he doesn’t want that.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Boy howdy did we have the weather this week. It was in the upper 50s on Wednesday, but we all knew bad weather was coming because everyone in the county was at the store getting bread, milk and toilet paper.

My nephew the doctor disapproves of health care powers of attorney! Why might that be? The power of attorney appoints a representative – an “agent” – who will speak for a patient when the patient is not able to do so. Your nephew may have seen a power of attorney complicating matters instead of helping them.

My friend’s grandfather was the driver in an accident the other day. My own mother is getting on in years and I’m worried about her driving, too.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. My what a very cold and wet week we have just had. It was very cold this week with the temperatures in the teens and not above freezing most of the week, then a lot of rain but warmer, in the 40s if that could be called warmer. So far the winter is looking kind of rough. The rest of January is supposed to be more of the same cold, icy and snow.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. The weather has gone from Christmas and New Years’ Day in Florida to full on Winter. It was in the 60s on Saturday the first and it got down to 18 degrees by Sunday morning. We had a lot of rain that then has turned to snow flurries. Brrrrrr! Is it cold at the writing of this article.

because of the warm temperatures I caught the smell on the morning air. It was just a delightful experience. So now that Christmas has come and gone this year it is the New Year upon us. This is when a lot of folks start to make their new year’s resolutions like, losing weight and exercise more. My resolutions for the year are to try and be more kind to others and myself. There is always time for kindness. Try to be more generous with my time and resources but with some realistic boundaries, because empathy without boundaries is self-destructive, So that is the kind of resolutions that I make. Since I am the hero of my personal story and as we know heroes often fail. So I shall be more patient with myself and others or at least make the attempt this year.

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Well, the week started out with unseasonably warm temperatures then the rain moved in and it rained for most of the week. It did start to clear off by the weekend but then the temperatures started to plummet to the upper 20s so it is now very cold like it should be in December.

Hope you are all well out there. We’re pretty good. This weather is about to get the best of me! Warm then cold then warm again and now I have a runny nose! I’ve been sneezing too. Cold right now but going to warm up again tomorrow. I like the warm better, but if it would just stay one way or another, I think I could adjust to it. Anyway, at least it hasn’t stormed too much here. Remember to pray for all the tornado stricken areas and the families there. That was a big disaster.
