Summer of 2012

having a fun time visiting family and friends meeting new friends .....  new friends, starting here a young man interested in spending time with Nature lovin' me ! wow! I am not used to that. and even more not used to the awakening of things left sleeping for 2 years+

got to see all of the oldest brothers family at the newest babies 1st birthday. hope to spend more time with each.  Got to take my Nephew to camp and he got to hear Drum Circle so moving for me I hope he liked it as much as me. the birthday party was great fun got to see all 4 generations playing and happy.

went for a lovely walk last night up on Anderson Hill, walked to an old mill site and some pretty falls even tho there wasn't much water. the woods were lovely and good conversation was enjoyed. after sunset we just rode back roads glad he knew where he was cuz I did not ! I have gotten around okay but got very lost yesterday after visiting the first sisterinlaw. but it was fun.

I have drivin through Owego and so many places are tore up so many marks for condemmed houses. so much loss, yet so many are rebuilding I wonder the good judgement of it tho.

new chapter

so I have arrived the healing place and the healing has begun, every single man within 2 counties has been summond by well meaning family and friends, so every where I am taken there is someone new for me to meet...... smile on
Tigger is settling in to our room and a car will be borrowed for the remainder of my visit.
I hope to get out to see family and friends and to take pictures of Owego.  I was shocked at the lack of people around town. next weekend is the strawberry festival I hope they have a good turn out.  The strawberries that we picked on Sunday were yummy
I will need maps to get from here to there tho I remember nothing about the highways or roads !  I am hoping to get to see everyone at least once,  I have taken a few pictures but not many I will load some eventually!  till then enjoy your summer! 

June 6th 2012

another beautiful day in Port Angeles. enjoying some sun. hope you are having the time of your life :)

SHOCKING

a call from the attorney tells me there is a check waiting.... his first !!  $5500.00 owed and he pays 600.   Thanks.

wonderful to see family and friends

sad to say goodbye to a beloved pet at my daughters, then her friend a young mother of 4 girls youngest 2 still at home, lost her battle with cancer.  making it very clear to me forgive and forget get on with the loving.
my Mom could really use good thoughts and Prayers. the building she lives in has continued to bully the residents, Mom can't have flowers on her patio now, they have taken away every thing she had on her 3x8 ground level patio. they are allowing her to keep her hanging baskets, tho if the hooks are not approved she will have to take them down and get some approved hooks and no "the maintenance guys will not install them for you so do not ask them"    I can't believe what they are doing is legal, but cannot convince Mom to seek legal advice.  so Prayers please !
I took my darling little Ivy to live with Sallie & Jerry.  hardest thing I have done. but she is in good  company and loves them too so I know she will be okay looking after Buzz.
I got to take her for a spa day before leaving so she was so cute and sassy when I left broke my heart.

 Thank You God for the angels in my life. 
Prayers & Blessings to All

taking steps of faith.   hoping all that I have prayed about is coming along as well, sending Love Light & Prayers to all friends and family. the coming months are looking to be busy for most and  I am no exception.  while I will be checking on you I will not be here for a while,  so have a great summer. enjoy every minute as if it were your last, for we never know when it will be.
