Saying Goodbye

Last week I reported about going to the 
funeral home for a guy that graduated
from my school. I knew him many
years ago as well as his brothers, 
plus I know his sis in law and his dad.
He was 60 and gone after fighting 
cancer for a year. So sad. 



Today I will be going to visitation 
for the daughter of a friend of mine.
Shelia and I have known each other
since grade school. We live in the
same neighborhood. Her 25 year old
daughter was killed in a car accident
over the weekend. Way to young to
be taken from her family.


And tomorrow I will be attending
visitation for Martha. She is the 
sister of another friend I have known
since grade school. Plus her cousin, 
Cindy, I saw yesterday 
at Norman's retirement, she is one of 
my partners in crime.
from the TBI.
My brother and her brother were
also good friends. 
Martha had a stroke about 2
months ago and has suffered since.
I feel for this family so much.



When you graduate from such
a close knit school you try to 
be there for others in need.

This is surely a time to be 
thankful for what I have. 

Thank you for stopping in,

Just reading about these three dinner ones that have gone on from this life makes me so much appreciate what I have what I still have as I sit here listening to the Hara and Puerto Rico

It is sad to see our friends go, but we are of an age when this happens more frequently than we'd like. It's even sadder when we lose the young people ...

Life is just so hard sometimes. I've lost many friends also, and it breaks my heart.

I'll be thinking of you, Pam.

Wow. So sorry. That's a lot of people to lose in such a short time. (I notice that it's a grouping of three...)

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
