September 1, 2010


Trying to catch up with these blogs. My brother, Steve, stayed down in NC for a while with his family. My sister, Jane, brother, Mike and nephew, Gavin all got back late Saturday night. Mike got in his vehicle and continued to drive a few more hours to Vermont. He didn't want to stay overnight. He just wanted to get home where he could relax. I don't blame him. Jane said they never got much sleep while they were down there. She said they had a real nice memorial service for Patty. I added her obituary to the last post. Patty had left letters for everyone and Alysha read some privately to some and publicly to others. At least patty thought of that! Alysha has Patty's car now so she can get out of there and go to NH when she is ready. I hope my brother will be okay after all this. He did real well and didn't drink at all, even though the others were.
I made slide shows of some old pics I had of Patty and Steve. I put them on Facebook for the girls. Someday if I get more pics I will make a nice one for Steve and Alysha to have on a DVD.

My daughter and the kids were over to see me on Sunday. It was nice to see them all together. I haven't seen Jordan in a while. Can't believe how big he's getting! Not sure if I like him growing his hair out into a 'Fro" though..Ha! Ha!
It's real hot here this week. Going past 90 degrees today. I went out early this morning to do some grocery shopping and get some critter food. Thank heavens my car ran okay. The last time I went out it stalled on me at the light but started back up. Heard some funny noises in it too. but today I didn't notice any. I'm so thankful for that!!
I've been bleeding a lot more lately and still having problems going to the bathroom. When I ache I take my Ibuprofen. It takes the ache away anyway. Other than that I feel okay. Just hope I don't get anemic from losing blood like I did last year. I've gained almost 20 pounds back!! That's because I'm eating everything. I hate being thin. Makes me look so frail and older. Ha!
I'm not seeing my foxes much these days. And I missed a great photo opportunity with the fawn the other day. The lady down the hall said it was right outside her window and then went my way. Darn it! I was on the phone and wasn't looking. I haven't seen the fawns since a month ago when I saw two of them with their mother on the back hill. Hope one didn't get killed. They only seem to see one.
My hand still aches and hurts at times be I'm resigned to the fact that it will always be that way. That is the least of my worries.
So that's about it. Can't think of anything else to say at the moment. Take care everyone.
