Take A Word Challenge - Clocks


Da Vinci was always way ahead of his time!

Things are very upsetting in our life right now. We found out this weekend that our 3 year old grandson has Kawasaki Disease. It can be fatal if not treated immediately. He was in a hospital in Ohio over the weekend, but is being transferred to Mott's Children Hospital which is part of the U of M Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan. That's why he was sick with 3 different viruses the past 3 months and passed them all unto me.  He should get good care at Mott's.

Our 26 year old son-in-law, married to our youngest daughter and doesn't have children, has been very sick the past year with what they have discovered is a mass on his bladder. The doctor he was seeing said he wasn't qualified to remove it in an operation, because any mistake could mean having to use a catheter the rest of his life. The doctor sent him to a specialist at U of M hospital, and they scheduled the surgery for this coming Weds. It's going to be a long and nerve racking week!

So sorry to hear of such heart-breaking problems in your family, Bill. Prayers and fingers crossed for both of them.

Your Da Vinci piece is superb.

As the Superbowl happens overnight here in Australia I have only just heard the final score and hope that you weren't following the Broncos! What a walkover.

Having read the newer post, am so glad of the news of your grandson's later diagnosis and wish him well.
Love your amendment to Leonardo's work, and the placement of the clock.
