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 ...

Basket of Goodies, Scar, The Old, and My Date with Braden,

Image
Family really comes together when  you are in need. The very next day that DJ was in  the hospital, after the accident my sis in law, Lori brought in a  basket or snacks for everyone.  A few days later she came with a bag full and refilled the basket. Speaking of DJ, all his scars are healing so well. This is along side the right side, where the scalp was torn back to. Again, medical knowledge has changed and is amazing. Nashville is a really cool and  historical city. I have to say, its been many years since I have spent anytime around Vanderbilt but going back and forth I have noticed so much. This is a building a couple of blocks from Vandy. Built in 1796. Think about it, that was forever ago! lol Inside that building is the  Pancake Pantry. In business for 50 yrs.  I love this building. It is an original fire station and still in use.  It is the 2nd oldest fire station in  Nashville still in use. Originally built in 1929 to house a  ...

August 15th and 14 Days Later, Rehab, Cards, Squeeze It and Damn It, Lily, Pods and the Copter

Image
                                                           August 15, 2026 It's amazing the difference in 14 days. And on August 31 in his first PT session. He's standing. Sept. 1st,  he was put in a jump suit,  which was attached to a track in  the ceiling which allowed him to  walk.  If you are interested in keeping up  with DJ's progress, you can do that from a FB page I set up, at  (3) Facebook Boy is moving on, making progress and kicking rehabs butt.  I decorated his room today, and hung his cards up so  he could see them better. The card on the bottom right,  that is from Ann. Duck tape can fix a lot of  things, but the doc said no  to using it on DJ... lol His mom brought somethings from his room, one thing being the watercolor I did for  DJ sometime back. DJ is the...
