Brother Allen

     My brother died Friday Feb 12th in the afternoon at home in hospice care. His kidnesys shut down last year and had dialysis three times a week. His late diagnosis of prostate cancer went into his bones and spread. His pain is now gone and his spirit released to final destination. I will miss him and cherish the good memories we had.

Left to right, brotherinlaw Marvin Barts,me, and my brother Allen in January 2016 at Northside McDonalds Sheboygan. Marvin picked Allen up after Al's dialysis.

I am so thankfull of my great friends at this time and my love John.

Touching base here....

.....Oh man it has been awhile since I posted. My bad.

Life is mov'in on and this weather is yukky. Makes my muscles hurt more.

I went with my roommate to the vet to support her in putting her dog down.

That little dog was my buddy these last four months. My good friend Sue is having s second operation this morning. To take out more tissue and resolve the rest with radiation. It's an inpatient thing and she wants to go after to Golden Corral buffet in GreenBay WI. She will feel no pain for the day so silly her to eat and be merry till it wears off. She's a tough cookie.

My Thanksgiving was so nice. My roommate and I made the turket and stuffing and gravy and baked sweet taters (with mellows!) We took it to her daughters house. The glass bowl with glass cover filled with gravy sat between my feet on the floor and my lap was full. I had to steady the gravy with my feet when we turned at a corner. Ya, it was ah hoot. My adopted family gave me such a wonderful holiday  and the food and entertainment was awesome. The laughter priceless.

Last week was my last dr appointment of my last year's astrophysics. It seems I have fibromyalgia and I am doing better these days. There is a man who calls me 'his woman'. Our relationship is Friends. We do things together and humor is right up there with side aches from laughing too much.

He is younger than I but if Madonna can have a younger friend so can I, right??

Today four of us are goin up north to gamble at a casino with the guys money. They insist lol!

Lunch then home as tonight is church bonfire. No, no sacrifices that I know of. Only smores.

Tomorrow my son invited me to lunch and a movie. I believe my granddaughter will be with us. Yay!

The friends have grown in my life to so many. I walk into Mc D's and everyone knows my name. I work my search a word as others do puzzles and others talk of the day. They all are unique and so different, I love it. Best go now an git gussied up!

Blonde in Incognito

"Blonde in Incognito "

The story unfolds of a brunette under cover in a blonde wig by day.

At night an intelligent brunette under covers. 

.......................

You see this is why I don't rite stories. Not enough details LOL!!!

  I have four more years of files to shred. Too many boxes and I should keep last seven years tax history they say.  I had this shredder going in my pretty much empty room and the sound was loud.

For three bucks I picked this shredder up from Vinnies. Works great. New ones are like $34

I thought of those crooks shredd'in evidence and I began to laugh out loud. I wondered if people could hear me from the street OMG! My blinds were open. Did anybody take a phone photo? Oh my gosh I teared up with laughter. I may have three bags to fill yet then done.

  Things have turned around, the tides have turned, the cows came home, calm in the hood.

All in all I found a home and everything will soon enough calm and time to heal. It's been an horrible year fro me and last year too. New batteries in my camera and I will take it with me as I will be out and about so much more in my future.

  This coming week I am going to a concert. I actually bought a ticket! To seeChicken and all that Jazz at UWM in Sheboygan. 

     Then Friday I am vounteering selling wrist bands and t-shirts at the PAC in Plymouth also Jazz called the Jazz Crawl

  THEN Saturday night my friend Donna and I are going to Plymouths stock car racing. She is also a widow but widowed twice. We grew up as friends in the same countryside and somehow we met up at German fest a couple weeks ago. So ennaway one thing lead to another and we can help each other. She needs extra money to pay off condo sooner and is lonely and I need a home and a friend. Life can turn onnah dime be it good or bad.

  A wonderful thing happened today. I got to talk 'meet' a long time blog friend on the phone.

We spent one hour and it was so enjoyable. I wasn't disappointed at all. This tells me I really got to know this person friend through the years.

  Now it's time to make supper. Have a great week ahead!!
