In Flushing NY 090619 在紐約發拉盛

I went to Dr. Yang for physical check up. After blood pressure pumped, blood drew, urine...
I made appointments with Cardiologist Dr. Chiu, Urologist Dr. Liang, and bone density scan Lab (for male???) all on 6-22-09. In addition to my current medicine and vitamines, I have 2 more new pills to take.
Next, I went to see the 2009 Four Men's Photography Show featuring the works of my friends Dr. Lee (Wide View), Mr. Lu (Walls), Dr. Huang (Africa), and Dr. Wu (Dream World).
And, of course, I had late lunch at the little diner and enjoyed a delicious fish ball meal.

去楊醫師診所作身体檢查。經量血壓,抽血,驗尿,.... 後, 約好6-22-09 去看心臟科趙醫師, 䏟尿科梁醫師, 及驗骨質密度 (男人要驗??? 楊醫師可能太過敏了吧!)。
我的藥袋裡又多了二種新處方藥丸。
之後, 去文教中心看四人攝影展。我的老朋友們陸攝影師(牆),李教授(西藏寛㬌), 黃醫師(非洲之旅),及吳醫師(夢境)。讓耳目心享受一下攝影專家們的精心傑作。 回家之前上『老王記』享受一頓可口又實惠的魚丸米粉。
PS. 090706 Dr. Yang reviewed my reports. Scan and tests showed no new changes.
I need to watch my diet, blood pressure and take medicine regularly. See all 3 doctors in 3 months.
註: 07-06-09楊醫師告知檢驗結果無新的狀況出現。
祗要多注意飮食,常自量血壓及按時吃藥。三個月後再去三位醫師處覆診。

Tree Down 090618 樹倒

A 100 MPH wind knocked down this big old oak tree on early morning of 6/18/09.

It broke the security light post into 3 pieces, and damaged to the picnic table/bench.

Thank God. Nobody was hurt, no building nor vechiles were damaged.

This incident costed us $2,000.00 to have the whole tree removed.

Quite an unexpected expense!

6-18-09 清晨一陣百浬速強風吹倒了這棵百年老樹,

將電燈桿壓斷成三段,打破了野餐桌凳。

人屋車輛皆無損傷。感謝上帝。

發費2千元請人清除此樹。

真是天有不測風雲,人有旦夕禍福。

Sad News 哀訊

The baby rabbit (see 090614)was killed by a fox or wild cats last night. Sad, very sad.

I retouched this horror scene picture to make it presentable (flowers added).

可能是狐狸或是野猫昨晩殺死了那隻可愛的小野兔(參閱090614)。真可惜，又讓人心疼。

我修飾了這張慘不忍睹的照片(花朿是加上去的)。

*My condolence to the blogger who lost her Grandma couple days ago.*

想到這位格友的祖母於日前剛回歸天家，她的心情一定百倍深痛於我。

能及時趕回臺灣見祖母最後一面，應可略微撫平她的哀傷。

禱求上帝安慰她們全家。
