Dragon Lady!


Well, this week has been a busy one. The boys have been attending SWAM Camp, it is a Christian music camp with an emphases on missions. They attended last year and loved it! I was looking forward to spending time with Cheerleader, going with our play group to meet new Chinese friends and having fun running around town. My plans were foiled by a persistent cough I have had for the past month. I finally went to the Dr. and after 2 breathing treatments and 2 X-rays, he told me I had R.A.D. Respiratory Airway Disease. It is related to asthma triggered by an allergy or environmental air. It causes loss of air flow in the lungs and a persistent dry cough. My cough sounds like I am a 30 year smoker! I was told to stay in as much as possible, that the humidity and high temps help to restrict the lungs and airflow. Bummer! I had plans, things to do! Places to go! People to meet!

I have been productive. My neighbors gave us some peaches and I mixed them with the blueberries we picked a few weeks ago and make a pie/cobbler. It was SUPER if I do say so myself! Just a note about the 1st pic. Cheerleader took it while I was taking the breathing treatment in the Dr. office. She said I looked like a dragon with smoke coming out of my mouth. It is the only time I have ever smoked! She took a pretty good pic!
