    • Interests

      We have a cottage we go to in the summer. We like boating and at dusk we drive around to look for deer. Its a relaxing change of pace. We have a 55 Ford, so I go with my husband to car cruises. !I like to read, mostly Christian fiction stories and mystery stories too. I work part time at a golf course. I work banquets. I enjoy it most of the time. Its nice to see people have a good time and listen to the music. I have a little dog named Penny, who I got from a rescue. She has brought me alot of joy. Shes my avatar.

      From robertirene Yesterday

      So sweet that you have been checking on me. You are a JOY!!! lol get it? I know other peeps probably said that to you. I am doing a little better. Cholestrol still high, had to stop taking cholestrol meds becasue they made me weak in the legs, seriously, I was struggling just to walk with in 2 weeks of taking meds. So we are trying the oatmeal for breakfast with chicken and fish being the only meat I will eat. Even when we go our and I order a chicken club which usually consists of bacon, I pulled that out and give to MY LOVE. He has good cholestrol. Anyway, I am rambling. Thank you Again Joy, Have a very Blessed Thanksgiving.

She was a 5 lb. ball of fluff.She was always with me.Last week she died in my arms in the parking lot at the vets.I miss her so much.She was family. I called her little sister.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My mom broke her hip on Christmas Eve in 2000.She had surgery,did rehab. Came home with me and one week later I went to wake her and she had died. I still don't know what happened to her. I was very close to her. I watched Grandma die 3 months later. I felt like I was just going thru the motions. If not for the promises of the Lord I would have never gotten thru it all. I will always miss my Mom and Grandma, Life has changed. I pray they will meet me when my time comes.
