Yes you read that right.. it is 75 here and I have never

seen so many smiles and happy faces as I have today.

No one is indoors on a day like today. It is quite breezy but

we haven’t seen this in months so we don’t really care.

The days of shoveling are only a dim memory now..

HAPPY SPRING.. you bet it is!! It’s no April fool either!!

This is cute thought you would like it too!

Have a wonderful spring evening!

 

 

WONDERFUL NEWS!!

 

WE GOT WONDERFUL NEWS!!

They changed mom’s schedule to afternoons

instead of early mornings. You have to be on a list

and Mom was. It took us 5 months to get this time

slot. So from now on there are NO early mornings,

no sleeping in the car, no extreme hunger pains because

breakfast was at dawn. No more going to Dr. appointments

out of town because you were busy when he was in your own

town. No more going to bed at dusk and forcing yourself

to go to sleep because 4:30 comes early. No more driving

in the dark until FALL comes. We will have weekends free
for the first time in almost 6 months.
A breath of fresh air

blew in and with it the SPRING warmth!

This change will make our lives so much better all

the way around.  

We both always worried

we would oversleep and not make it there on time.

Now Sis will get to come too if she wants or leave me

home and let me make dinner. Now if the car breaks down..

more people will be available to help out and we could

even RENT a car if we had to.  It does make a world

of difference. Sure lots of changes in therapy and such

will take place.. but it can all be handled.Looking forward
to this Easter weekend now with some new energy and
relief.
Here is hoping you all have a Wonderful Wednesday!!

P.S.

This will be the first “holiday” mom is home for since last year before Thanksgiving. We will go all out for one meal and I am sure she will love it!!!

The Hemi..The Hummer.. and the Half Ton..

Ever since I found WiFi I have been in some wierd

places using the internet. I went to the hospital parking

lot to get "hooked up". Most times I stay inside

the car, but it was COLD out so I went inside the building and came

back out and .. then UH OH….

I was smack in between a HEMI truck and a HUMMER.

Behind me was a large Ford truck called a half-ton. Good

grief!!. How the heck do I get out? I stood there looking at

the situation when an older gentlemen came by and said

"quite a predicament huh?" My car is not a small one

but a mid-size one.  If I back up I will back right into the

truck…On top of that I cannot SEE what’s coming

from the drivers seat. Now I have to go pick up MOM

at the treatment center and I can’t sit there all day waiting

for SOMEONE.. or anyone to move first.

What to do???

 

I went back inside and looked around the waiting room

to see if there was anyone who "looked" like they might

own one of those monsters. I stood there talking to the

lady volunteer for awhile. I decided if I had to, I would use

my cell phone and call the center and tell them of my

situation. I went outside and walked toward my car.

An old man with a CANE came out behind me and was

walking the same way. I moved over as I was trying to

find the number of the center on my cellphone. The old man

passed me by and I watched him walk near the HUMMER.

Could it be?? I walked faster to catch up. I said "OH brother!"

looking at my car sitting there. The old man chuckled and said..

"Oh that’s nothing.. I used to be a truck driver.. I can move any

car anywhere.. He seemed very nice so I told him to GO ahead

and try.. I would guide him.

He moved slowly into the drivers seat. Placing his cane inside

the car he proceeded to start the car. I stood near the back of

the car as he backed up an inch at a time. ( I was relieved he was

slow..)

By golly that old man got that car out of the spot just like he

said he could. I was sure relieved a gave him many many

Thanks!! AS I drove out of the parking lot very happy..I looked

into the rear view mirror………….

YOU GUESSED IT….. the old man put his foot on the running board

of the HEMI and got into the drivers seat. He could have just moved

the truck.. but you see he had something to prove to me and to himself…

OLD TRUCKERS NEVER DIE… THEY JUST KEEP ON TRUCKIN’

 

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY!! 

SUNDAY UPDATE…

Finally able to get back to my space. WOW.. what a

terrible time I have had trying. I gave up three times

yesterday. Not a happy camper for sure.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

I recently taped a show on ABC which involved

the Chef Jamie Oliver from England. He is on a

real quest to make food served in schools more

healthy. It took me days to get time to see this

show but I really wanted to. It is called

FOOD REVOLUTION ..look for it!!

The amount of work and hoops he had

to jump through, both with the administration

and the staff and even the federal government

and their guidelines would make you dizzy.

Boy was I shocked at

how little the children of the schools knew. They

had NO CONCEPT of what any kind of vegetable

was. We are talking kids who are at least 4 and 5

years old. Did any of the children know what they

were eating? Did any of them know how to use a

knife and fork? All the schools provided was SPOONS.

Shocking.. it sure was for me. Some education

begins at home and that means that home life

for these children does NOT consist of any kind of

learning about basic use of table utensils. Kids

only care about what tastes good and what is

fast and simple to eat. I am sure their eyes were

openend and maybe.. if this show begins to catch

on the whole nation could jump on the band wagon.

When I went to school.. (blah blah blah).. white milk

only..you got a whole bottle to yourself. No flavors involved.

I did chores at home and boy we KNEW what a simple

thing like corn was and potatoes and even tomatoes.

We snapped beans and helped make jam and jelly

and can peaches. Today it is all the simple canned

foods mostly and most of us are living in the hurry

up generation.  Time for change I truly believe it.

We have children now who are at high risk for

all kinds of problem illnesses.. diabetes, and more.

I bet if you watch just one show you will be sold on

the idea of making a change. There are many petitions

floating about the internet wanting people to sign up

and have some change come to their schools too.

This next week he tackles the HIGH SCHOOL kids.

The kids who have already learned they can eat

junk and get away with it. I predict real chaos.

Just my opinion anyway.. on what I thought of the show.

 Funny it takes a guy from ENGLAND to

come to the USA to make changes for the better for

U.S kids. 

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Cool and damp here today.. making a pot of soup and

maybe make some banana bread later. Next week

promises to be glorious here with 70 degrees in the

forecast.. OH HAPPY DAY.. I am putting my snowblower

away..

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY!!
