I have been suffering from dermatitis (nasty skin rash) for a few weeks. It seems to stem from multiple causes, making elimination of those causes complex. I kept fooling around with my theories, and watching the rash wane, only to re-bloom worse than before. I finally had to see doctor yesterday, and got a hefty steroid shot to hold me until I can see the dermatologist he referred me to. I'm waiting for the call as to when that might be. Thank-you shot for some improvement, today, but I've got a very long way to go. I actually shocked the doctor when he saw the worst area—a several square inch patch from below my right shoulder to below the elbow. It's all over my body, to a lessor extent, but that patch was oozing and crusted—nasty! I'll keep you posted.
Sister Linda called from SC last night. She and hubby are back there, for a bit. *sigh* Enough said.
Back to our story.
The next major event in our lives was Curtis' marriage. This advances us to 1985—we'd been in Wichita for 10 years, and slaves to the restaurant for nearly 7 years. The kids all worked in the restaurant with us, and learned valuable work ethics from an early age. They found out what hard work is all about, and learned team work.
Curtis married on a Tuesday, of all days. They were being sensitive to us. We were closing the restaurant on Tuesdays then, and they knew that it would prevent a hardship on us, if they didn't force us to either close the restaurant on a busy weekend or make the other employees try to do without us, so that we could attend.
The poor quality photo above is of their vow exchange. Our first fledgling leaves the nest. Hugs.

Oh Katy I hate hearing about the skin rash...sounds so uncomfortable. Hope that clears soon. My boys planned weddings on a day they knew hubby could get away easily too. We did good on parenting, didn't we?
Oh Katy, I sure hope your rash goes away soon. That sounds awful. Sounds like your son was very thoughtful to you concerns back then. How nice.
