First let me just say that I have always taken storms seriously. Tornado warnings were the only thing I would wake up my sleeping children for in the middle of the night when they were growing up. In May of 1957, when I was seven months old, my family and I lived in Ruskin Heights andContinue reading “Ridin’ the Storm Out”

The Recovery Begins
Home makes everything better. I returned home from the hospital on Friday afternoon and spent a very quiet weekend starting my recovery. I remembered that the first week after surgery was difficult, but I had forgotten just how much effort it requires to do the smallest things. My biggest complaint right now is that IContinue reading “The Recovery Begins”

Preparations and Mixed Emotions
In 36 hours I will be leaving to go to the hospital for surgery #2. All the preparations have been completed and my emotional state is on a rollercoaster. First of all, ten days ago I had to give up Aleve, my over the counter drug of choice. Aleve is a blood thinner that relievesContinue reading “Preparations and Mixed Emotions”
Today’s hero…..Ms.T
I had breakfast with a dear friend on Saturday whom I met in 7th grade Civics. Assigned alphabetic seating on the first day of class, (I was an S, she was a T) ensured our meeting but junior and senior high school dramas kept us inseparable. We try and get together a couple of timesContinue reading “Today’s hero…..Ms.T”

I make list on my computer in both excel and word (cannot decide which is better), I make list in the journal I carry around, I make list in my blackberry memo app and I make list onContinue reading “Lists and more Lists”
16 Days and Counting
It just dawned on me today that there are only 16 days until surgery number 2. Of those 16 days, five will be spent working in Omaha which means May 17th will be here very quickly. As I have mentioned before, I am a worrier. My father was a worrier, my sister is a worrier and I amContinue reading “16 Days and Counting”
Relaxation, Sunshine and Texas BBQ
Our Houston trip was wonderful! Remember how worried I was about going through security with my new hip? The darn metal detector did not even go off as I walked through it. On the way back home though, in the Houston airport, I did get up close and personal with the body scanner but thatContinue reading “Relaxation, Sunshine and Texas BBQ”
Jack the Brave….
I love stories of courageous animals and heard a great one this past week about a dog that I have had the pleasure of meeting personally. Say hello to Jack Daniels (son of the recently departed Whiskey). Jack is a full bred boxer and owned by a close friend’s son. He is also aContinue reading “Jack the Brave….”
New Hip and Airport Security
For Easter we will be traveling to Houston to visit Kindra, DL and granddog Percy. I am very excited to see them and their newly renovated home and am so looking forward to some sunshine and temperatures in the 80’s. I am getting VERY weary of the cloudy, 50 degree days we had here for whatContinue reading “New Hip and Airport Security”
