I discovered the Lyme bite early on, within days so the telltale target rash had not expanded beyond an inch. So it is a course of hefty antibiotics for the next twenty-one days. I think it was caught early enough that I shouldn't have too many of the nasty side effects. But with my age and history of not conforming to the norms...who knows. I leave it to the Creator to know best.

Ribs are a favorite around here. I assume you are wood smoking those babies! They get costly around here as we can go through 40-50 pounds in one sitting!
