For about a month, we&#8217;ve been getting letters from the insurance company saying they were dropping our hospital, labs, and doctors.&nbsp; The first letter came less than a week after I found out we have twins.&nbsp; I was trying really hard not to worry and panic and just leave it to God.&nbsp; Thankfully, it was resolved yesterday.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t have to find a new doctor now!&nbsp; Shwew! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Yesterday was strawberry day.&nbsp; Karen picked them, and then we made 4 batches of freezer jam.&nbsp; There&#8217;s still a lot of jam to be made, however.&nbsp; So maybe I&#8217;ll work on that some more today.&nbsp; Karen may come back in the afternoon to help, too.&nbsp; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s all I&#8217;ve got for now.&nbsp; I&#8217;m sorry I still have no pictures.&nbsp; Eric hasn&#8217;t taken most of them off the camera yet, so I&#8217;ve only got this one.&nbsp; It&#8217;s the view from our balcony last week.&nbsp; Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/photo.xanga.com\/shannahhogue\/a24ca193187262\/photo.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"SSC_3737 small\" style=\"border-style: none; border-width: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/xa2.xanga.com\/4cac665402d32193187262\/s148966314.jpg\" width=\"314\"><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuck at Home&#8230; So it would seem that, upon our return, our possessions have decided to act up&#8230;perhaps punishing us for leaving them for a week.&nbsp; Eric&#8217;s radiator is not doing well.&nbsp; The air conditioner took some major coaxing to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/2008\/06\/10\/586\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
