i'm back
yes i know i am long overdue for my next entry. i returned on june 20th. in a happy and sad frame of mind. i didn't want to leave amd marc didn't want me to either, a lot tears from both of us as we said our goodbyes. the happiness came from me bringing one of his dogs back with us. they have to many dogs as it is and with a new baby coming, we thought it was best marc knew i would give her a good home, we already had one of his dogs maddy that this dog and maddy used to play together. my other son matt thought gypsy (the new one) would be a good mate for dawson. since she is part dachshund and chihuahua or chiweenie as they call them. shes only barely 10 lbs and has brought so much love and companionship to my life since we lost stimpy earlier this year. she has the exact coloring of stimpy and the cutest little face. son and i thought hubby/dad would be mad but he's fallen in love with her too. she wants to play with dawson so bad but dawson thinks she is below him in stature i guess. we will see about that when she comes into heat,LOL the trip was great we had a family get together with my family and of course they all took to jake immediately. the 1st time i saw him, tears came to my eyes, maybe this was god's reason for me to survive my stroke, to see my grandchildren for the 1st time he took to his grammy and uncle right off the bat. he just laughed and smiled at everything, hes got such a great nature. i don't think he really fussed at all while we were there. his other grandparents just adore him too. we all went out to dinner and tiffany's (mother) barb gave me a picture of me seeing jake the 1st time in a picture frame with the word miracle on it. he indeed was a miracle. i will treasure that picture forever. we also had a nice day of seeing the jfk museum in dallas. we all really enjoyed that. it brought back sad memories of my childhood but he was a truly amazing man. they had stuff in the museum we hadn't seen before on the news or at least i hadn't. more newspaper articles and pictures. it was a great day to see something i hadn't seen before. the last time i saw the area was when the book depository was still there, now it was turned into a museum. the rest of the time you could'nt get me away from jake. i fed and held him as much as i could. the child doesn't want for any kind of toy. he loves chasing the cats around in his walker. i have pictures i will get posted in the gallery as soon as i figure it out,LOL it took me several days to recoop after i got home. my b/p has been acting up lately, so i have been dealing with that too, but its coming down finally. after being put on 3 meds to help get it down on a funny note, gypsy got her name because when they 1st got her, she took things from everyone and hid them, like gypsies did in their time i guess. ok now that i've bored you enough, i promise the pictures are coming. thx for reading. kimmie
