Parents and stuff
A good visit with both my Pop and Mom today. Pop is holding up pretty well and Mom wants out of hospital.
I really hate visiting a parent in hospital. They always look so small and fragile. But, Mom is doing well and her Doctor says there is a possiblity she can go home on Sunday. She’s a feisty old lady and she’s determined to get better, though with her heart disease it’s only a matter of time until we go through this again. Her Doctor is talking about implanting a pacemaker, which will help, but it’s just talk so far. She needs to get much stronger before that step is finalized. I’ll check up on the folks on Sunday and phone numbers have been handed out to all.
The stuff part — When we left Salem, it was raining pretty hard, but there was a cloud break behind us and as we drove we saw the most magnificent rainbow seemingly erupt from the ground. An amazing, bright half circle of color. The neatest thing though was that it was a triple rainbow. A bright central band, a less bright outer band of reversed colors above and a *much* fainter band of reversed colors inside. I’ve seem many double rainbows, but this is my first triple. A good omen, maybe?

At least your Mom seems to be in good spirits.
And, your camera was at home, right? I would like to have seen a picture of that rainbow.
Have a good day, Happy New Year.

Now I’m not sure what I saw (or thought I saw). It was definitely a double, but there were definite hints of color on the inside of the main also. But, a bit if research this morning led me to the fact that in triple rainbows, the third rainbow is opposite in the sky from the first and second. That is, in the same direction as the sun. Oh well. It still was a pretty sight to end a trying day.
