My Respite Spa
The road to recovery continues to stretch out in front of me. Ironically, the day after discussing the issue of gastric dumping, I experienced my first episode of this wonderful syndrome (the result of eating a couple of meals without taking my pancreatic enzymes). Not much of an appetite this afternoon, perhaps I’ll try juice later.
Several people had asked about what my Mom’s place looks like, so I thought I would give you a quick pictorial tour. Mom owns 21 acres of rural NJ farmland. She has a mutual agreement with a farmer that works the land. The big draw of the farm are the rows and rows of blueberry bushes. The farmer maintains the blueberry bushes and Mom and her friends can have all the blueberries they want (unfortunately, blueberry season has already ended, so no blueberry picking for me). One of the acres is rated as residential. Here’s the Google Maps satellite view of her residential property:

Well, there you have it. A brief visual tour of Mama Hamburger’s Hacienda. Thanks for checking in. Hopefully, I’ll be feeling better tomorrow.
