Poison Ivy


Well, well, well... Cathey did a bunch of ruthless gardening last week, just before we headed off for vacation. She tore out all kinds of old growth stuff... stuff that had been there since Tecumseh & Pontiac camped in our yard. This seemed like a great accomplishment, until 3 or 4 days later. ITCHY does not begin to describe the next few days. Toxicodendron radicans... Poison Ivy... acchh! We're now doing Prednisone, prescription-strength Benadryl and goops of Polysporin. If you look really closely at the pic from our trip, you'll see small red spots on Cathey's arm. Imagine 8,000 of them. Arrrrrggg!!

I am soooo sorry that the two of you are in such extended misery!! Wil it ever end!!! AAggghhh!!! Another memory, never to be forgotten. I must say, even with the red spots on her arm, that is one of the nicest pics. I've ever seen of you two! Don't strain your cheek muscles too much (from smiling), just keep it up. xoxxoxoxo
