Well, I am back !!!

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

I cannot believe how long it has been.  I am doing very well and cannot believe how many comments I have since writing last.

My wonderful mother went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 25th of this year and it has been quite a journey for me as I sat with her in the hospital for days during those final times.

I never again will take it lightly when someone says “they lost a mother, father, brother, sister or a family member again”.

There is no way to describe how much you miss them.

My sister who lives in Memphis, TN was out in Colorado during Christmas [they have a condo at Beaver Creek] and when coming down a slope to come in, she hit something hard and flew up in the air and when landing after much scurry, found out she broke her ‘femer at the knee and that has been a journey also.  I flew out to take care of her and to Memphis and Alabama where my mother lived and I hopefully will get around to telling you the rest of the story like Paul Harvey use to say.

She is still not doing well with a rod and pins in her leg and knee, but we keep hoping, praying and doing all that can be done to make that better.  She is still on full crutches with no weight on the leg as they are waiting for some bone growth.

I am doing wonderful myself physically.   Some know I had gastric by-pass surgery and have now lost 140 lbs. and I feel great except for a fall I had here at home and damaged the I-T band in my right leg.  It is getting better all the time.  Theraphy has helped a lot.

Well, gotta go for now, but promise to be back soon with more details.

Bless you and your day today.
