The Wedding, Shot and Girls

Image
  Hello! Normal, what is normal? My body felt like it was in  high gear from the moment I heard of DJs accident, and it did not slow till he went to  rehab....which by the way, he is kicking  rehab butt. However, even though things slowed, I am still not doing the normal, spending a lot of time on  the road between here and Nashville, sitting up in the chairs to keep Amber company. Eating here and there and not really that well.  NOW, I feel it in the body. While it was in  high gear, I think I convinced my body that to ignore what was probably going on in my body. Now, it seems like the slow has taken over and the body is  yelling. Slow does mean that I had stopped, it just means I move slower! lol Part of the slow, geared down but still going was shooting a wedding.  Evie, Beckham and Brodies mom and dad, Hannah and Brayden got married.  Amber was able to come home for  a couple of days while DJs dad stayed with him while she did ...

Kicking Butt, Necklace and Earrings, TENS Unit, and Shaking

Image
For Thursday when I went to visit DJ, I took him some homemade sugar cookies and a toy thing that shoots darts. He was excited and said, Nana keeps bringing me cool things to play with. Can't let him get bored!! He kicked PTs butt again today. He is not having to use the seat that they use to transport him to the wheelchair. He is done with that now, his core is strong enough that he can move from one area to the wheelchair. AMAZING. If all goes well, his release  date is Sept. 19. Then it will be  out patient rehab for however long. They did tell us that they never say, "well, that is how you are now", until two years out. It can take that long to heal. In two years he will be working circles  around us all. Since I retired....10 yrs ago, I  don't wear a lot of my necklaces and earrings. Basically, around my neck is my moms thumb print, and  my earrings are silver with either real stones and some not real. I like mixing  and matching and no one knows. Anyw...

Dolly, Eva and George, Shot Gun, and Old Woman

Image
If you have been reading my post and following me here in blog land you know that I am a Dolly fan. Dolly shocked us all with her passing and no words from her about her illness, about her fighting cancer. Such a giving, caring and talented woman she was and I even now find it hard to believe she is gone. The world will be such a strange place without new music from her, who it seemed like she could right a song at the drop of a hat. I have been aware of the imagination library since it started, but I guess I never paid attention to the fact that she started it because her dad could not read. And.....with that segway I will share this info with you. 30 yrs ago I had the privilege to welcome my sis in law Lori into this family. With her she gave me a niece and a nephew, and at the time I also had her mom, Eva and her dad, George as consultation gifts. Years back Lori lost her mom and dad but not before I  grew to love them. George was the father type everyone wanted for a dad a...

102, Pumpkin Pound Cake, Looking Back, And Cars

Image
Car dash on Tuesday afternoon, 102.   Summer has returned and  its being hateful. I thought I would give this a try, I found it on  this board at Dollar Tree.  If I give it a try anytime soon I will let you know how it is. Pasted this car on the way to see DJ on Tuesday. Loved the saying so I took a pic. One night on the way home,  Amber and I stopped for dinner and  saw this car.  I LOVE OLD CARS.  In the back window,  a mini of the car. Speaking cars, have you  ever seen a driverless car? I saw my first one in my trips to Nashville. Saw them so many times it was  crazy. No way I would ever get in  one of these. Now, I have more cards to make but this is the one I left with the nurses in  the hospital when DJ went  to rehab.  I have one to make for ICU,  Rehab, Troopers, Hickman Co. Sheriffs office and before all is said and done, prob  more.  Ann, I loved your card. Thank you for that. DJ smiled ...
