We picked up the girls on Christmas eve, and drove straight to Mama’s for family Christmas. We’ve celebrated on Christmas Eve, ever since I married Sweet Friend, in 1984. That way, our birth family celebration didn’t clash with in-law’s. And the system has worked great, thru all the different in-laws. The only fly in theContinue reading “Great Grandmama”

She Shops
After leaving rehab, and consuming sustenance, then, the fun part- shopping!! I went on a 4 hour spree!! So thankful for the power chair!! Now, I can go anywhere I want!! That DH will take me, with the power chair loaded on his trailer! Spending $100 gave me such an endorphin rush!! Before I wentContinue reading “She Shops”
Easy Escape
Well, I tunneled out of the rehab on Fri, the 17th. After 11 days there, I was almost as crazy as the day I had the meltdown in the Dr’s office!! Everyone has their own TV. And since they are ALL on loud volume, due to not being able to hear it, cuz ALL theContinue reading “Easy Escape”
So Sorry, sigh
I’m sorry I let us both down, not writing a post every day. But one of these new meds has knocked me out!!I mean I can barely get up to change my diaper when it’s way past full. (They do have limits!!) I slept thru dinner 3 nights in a row! Now you KNOW IContinue reading “So Sorry, sigh”
Harry Hawkins
Grandpa Harry is my Dad’s grandpa. My memories of him are kinda vague, since I think I was only about 8 when he died. (I’ll check on that when the aunts wake up, they get a little grumpy when I wake them up at 5 am, to ask dumb questions!!) Update: He died when IContinue reading “Harry Hawkins”
My Manager
I’m thankful that I have a case manager now! Whatever that is! She’s here to help me get what I need. Well, let’s see; I got the bath bench with my ex’s money, got the potty chair with DH’s money…. To be fair, she didn’t even know I existed then. So, there’s that. She’s supposedContinue reading “My Manager”
Grandpa & Grandma
Since I’ve lauded Granny Chaney, now it’s time to spotlight Grandpa, and Grandma Hawkins, Dad’s parents. I’m so blessed that I knew both sets of grandparents. I even knew some great grands!! That seems to be a rare thing, and I’m so enriched, to have known them. Grandpa was a phosphate miner. The mine wasContinue reading “Grandpa & Grandma”

Last week, and this, I’ve been struggling so hard with my mental, and physical health. Last Thur. I was at the Dr. office screaming, “I’m dying! ListenContinue reading “Wonderful Women”
Granny Gratefulness
Granny is Mama’s mother. Mostly I’ll be talking about her, since Papa died before Sis was born, so I was still 7. Papa was a giant!! I think he was 6’2. Which isn’t really giant by today’s standards, but it was by our family’s!! And especially of mine, as a 7 yo! He was reallyContinue reading “Granny Gratefulness”
Formal Family
First I’ll write about being thankful for my nuclear family, and go on from there. I’m so thankful my parents were married! I had both parents in my home. What a blessing that is. (For the purposes of this post, I’m only gonna talk about the positive aspects of my Dad. And that they stayedContinue reading “Formal Family”
