Today was a most pleasant day, driving 82 miles west to Elizabethtown, Kentucky, U.S.A., for an all-day Nephrology Conference with my former nursing colleague, Gail. We took the Bluegrass Parkway, a fine, old, 4-lane divided highway with much less traffic than the Interstates. The trip is rural all the way from Lexington, miles and miles of open green fields dotted with horses or cattle, with a few large crops of corn and tobacco ready for harvest. It is mid-September and our world is a lush, beautiful green. Soon fall will come with its cooler weather and golden leaves showing off their blaze of color before the bleak winter landscape. But our land has never been - at least in my memory - as green as it is now.
Gail and I caught up with non-stop conversation about the hospital, our families, and our church family. It was fun to see some of the doctors, nurses, social workers, and dieticians who were former colleagues, and also great to meet some new folks from all over Kentucky and one from Indianapolis, Indiana. I brought my camera to snap a few photos and forgot all about it. The presentations were extremely well done.
