This was one of those days where I woke up and just didn't feel right. I knew it was a day that I help babysit Raya and had that feeling like, uh oh, why do I always gotta be sick? But as usual, I just kept pushing myself. One foot in front of the other. Just do it, get up and shower and get dressed.
I remember when showering took a great effort and would take all the spoons I had for one day. I remember before that when showering wasn't even an option. Showering still makes me feel faint and weak in the legs for some reason, I'm guessing because of POTS and bad circulation. But now, at least I can shower daily if I have to. This was one of those days where I had to.
So like I said, put one foot in front of the other and walked over to my daughter's house. My daughter's boyfriend was there waiting and we started randomly talking about "The Grotto." He said, should we go? And without hesitation I said, "Yes!"
Even though I feel sick, I'm sooooo sick of being sick. I'm sick of being at home, I'm sick of missing out on interesting opportunities because of Lyme Disease. So instead of going into the usual panic and blurting out a, "no" right away. I said, "yes." And we went.
So glad we did. Here are the amazing pictures of "The Grotto."

The Dickeyville Grotto
The Dickeyville Grotto and Shrines erected in the Village of Dickeyville, Wisconsin on Holy Ghost Parish grounds located at 305 W Main Street are the works of Father Matthias Wernerus, a Catholic Priest, Pastor of the Parish from 1918 to 1931. His handiwork in stone, built from 1925-1930, is dedicated to the unity of two great American ideals-love of God and love of Country. These religious and patriotic shrines were constructed without the use of blueprints.
It is a creation in stone, mortar and bright colored objects-collected materials from all over the world. These include colored glass, gems, antique heirlooms of pottery or porcelain, stalagmites and stalactites, sea shells, starfish, petrified sea urchins and fossils, and a variety of corals, amber glass, agate, quartz, ores, such as iron, copper and lead, fool's gold, rock crystals, onyx, amethyst and coal, petrified wood and moss.
