I am Pratt's Daughter




My Dad did not care for his unusual first name too much.....but I was always proud to say that I was Pratt's daughter.

.....In a small town where everybody knew his name. 

He has 5 daughters....that grew up knowing that he would "always be there for us".   

I wanted to stay with Dad last week....so he would not be alone during these difficult days and be there for him....which lead to me having many priceless moments and memories.

He would tell me things like...."I was laying in bed trying to figure out how could I get Kim to stay another night"....as a parent....I know how happy he was to have his kids around.

Since I have to rest....I came home after he became bedridden Saturday....and he is sleeping all the time now.

Hospice tells us that Dad is coming to the end of his journey with COPD.

After the Rain



We were driving along our driveway after a really wet weekend....when I noticed all these strange orange spots in the woods.


with a closer snapshot....it looks like we have a bunch of pretty orange mushrooms speckled in the woods.

So what if I got a little wet
I am still thankful for the rain!

My hubs knee is doing a lot better after the doctor put a cortisone shot in it.  

When he was incapacitated....it made me realize how much he did around here....when I had to do it all!

It is raining so much here in Georgia....inches this weekend....that we changed our cookout lake plans to having my family over to my house for an inside BBQ.

I hope yall have a HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

A Handicapped Couple


My hubs can't walk today....his knee made a popping sound this morning!  

So I am driving hubs in the above car....he will walk in the doctors office on crutches....as I drive the scooter in to visit the doctor.

We will be a funny looking or a pitiful looking couple as we start the visiting doctors routine....for hubs this time and not me which is scary.
