Memorial Day to Remember.....

Fun at the Lake Wedowee,  AL.














With a large extended family.


Ervin Cline is in this photo as they were cleaning up.  We do not forget this was Memorial Day.

Ervin will be 77 soon, He retired from the Navy.

We all need to appreciate our Military guys!  We will never know all he gave up, for our freedoms!

We had a great day with family but I feel I should honor Ervin for his service, a little late.

When My Lung Collapsed

I was at lunch complaining  that I was having a heart attack on the wrong side.  Pains were running up and down my right arm but I  went back to work for the rest of the day.

Late that evening my aunts told my sister Karen....go ahead and take her to the ER just get it checked out.  Those pains did not go away.

The ER doctor said my lung had collapsed and it was nothing to do with the MS.  I said, can they inflate it so I can go home?

Oh No, you have to stay in the hospital, hooked up to a lung machine for a week.  

I was miserable but had bunches of visitors, flowers, etc.

I realized when older that they were very worried about me.

After it collapsed three times later, they did surgery to fix it, permanently.  It was a tough surgery, back in the early 80's.  Similar to open heart surgery and was in intensive care for one night.

Thanks to God....I have had no lung problems since.   It still is not connected to the MS...

This is where I started to learn, Things could be worse.  Be happy you are not in a hospital or worse....

Changes In Life

This is called a post about nothing.  Daughter is still having a great time in Europe.   So happy she can enjoy this part of life.

Life is changing as husband is being laid off his teaching job.  One way so happy that he will be home more.   Another problem is, he might be home too much....

I hope he gets a better job, sad to say, he is so tired of teaching kids. Who do not want to be taught!

Things will get better, looking as past predicts the future, we have been taken very good care of! So Far!

Eventful Weekend

We took our daughter to airport (she is leaving for Europe for study abroad). 

We went to our niece Katie's graduation.  Her Mom had a nice meal after for us.


The weekend ended with the death of a 48 year old friend. (After a battle with cancer).

We got to see old friends but  it was with mixed feelings since it was a funeral.

I guess we should take our days thankfully!

Our Daughter is Flying Away.....

Easter Photo


Such a sad great day for my daughter, She is going to study abroad with her school.  They are leaving for Europe, a short trip.

I so worry but  try to be happy for her.  When your child leaves the country, it is an anxious time.

I know it will be over too fast for her.   I am proud of her, with a tense feeling.

I now know how my Mom felt, when I left for adventures of life.  What goes around, comes around again.
