Sheryl,

Congratulations on your first game with your new ball! Your score will continue to climb. Here's to many many more festivals and maple candy tasting with your family.

Sue,

I too keep you, Ray and your Mum in my thoughts ad prayers. So sorry to hear about your friend passing. He is now with his dear wife watching over his family and friends.

Hmmmm a virtual vacation. Where would you go????

Jeannie,

Hope you two have a safe wonderful trip. Will look forward to hearing about it. GPS systems are the best invention.

Good thing you have someone checking on your house this time.

Ruth,

Keep plugging ahead. They may be forced to stop the OT due to insurance. Sometimes, after a period of time, you can get the doc to write another script for therapy or perhaps even appeal the decision of the insurance company to stop. I was able at one point to get therapy extended when my doc filed an appeal.

Katrina,

Best of luck to you with the DMV. Congrats to you on passing the road test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel too you will be a licensed driver very very soon.

Hope you can spend quality time with your boyfriend before he leaves for college.

Bon,

I'm so glad you had a terrific visit with Bill. Your lil grandson is growing up - especially 6'5" or 6'6"

Glad you got the hummingbird out of harm's way.

How sweet Lenny!!

Kimmie,

Oh poor you and Gypsy both. I hope during the times the lil harlot got out of her diaper that Dawson did not have the opportunity to do the deed.

I'm sure you will get her to the vets before the next round.

Hi Ruth,

As the ol saying goes, "time flies when you're having fun". As active as you and William are with his therapy that adds to the time flyin right on by. The weekend down time is probably a good thing for William as your weeks are so busy, his body gets a chance to try and catch up. I hope that is the only reason he is experiencing confusion. You'll have to monitor it and may be keep a log so as to inform the doctors.

Diana,

I too am glad to hear that all is going better for you dear. You deserve the happiness. I hope your daughter can get the stress under control and does no have any further health issues.

A Mom's job of worrying never ever ends no matter how old they are. How cool to be reuniting with old friends.

Enjoy your August "bucket list" trip Lenny. Will look forward to hearing all about it.

Lorraine,

Welcome to the blog community. Your brother is blessed to have you and the rest of your family by him. You WILL get all of this figured out - your determination and love for your brother and your family shines through loud and clear.

next bowling season you may be the team's secret weapon. Once you get great results from the Saebo, all of this aggravation with be in the past - way behind you.

Hi Sherry,

You might have been slower getting those boxes from point A to point B but you DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what counts. The job got done. Now you get to unpack all of it.

Fred,

I'm so glad to hear you had a doc who finally spent quality time with you. He's a gem for sure. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for answers and relief from your pain.

Diana,

So glad the trip was made with no problems and you're safe and sound. Enjoy the reunions as you get settled in.

Vi,

So so glad you got to meet Sarah, Gary, and of course Pookie. Terrific pics of you all together. If ever I get out west again, we'll have to arrange a visit.

Diana,

Best of luck dear in your trip to Colorado. Hope you get immediate relief from the headaches as well as relief from the marital tension. That too may have added to the headaches you were experiencing.

Take care and we'll be waiting to hear from you.

Ken,

I agree with Sue; still strive to walk independently but use aides to assist where needed. I'm able to cruise around my home with my AFO on and no hemi-walker now. If I go out, I take the hemi-walker or for my local excursions in the neighborhood, my powerchair. I have walked to a local convenience store with my hemi-walker but have realized that is NOT the safest thing for me to do. This here weeble (me LOL) does indeed wobble and she DOES fall down. Rather than injuring my ego or breaking a hip I've had to adjust my ways of getting things done.

Keep at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there Katrina,

Sorry to hear about the DMV nightmare you're experiencing. Your Dad's negativity could also be considered as an added lesson in driving and dealing with others.

I see you're being hard on yourself once again sweetie. Having a stupid arm myself that does not want to listen and recover, I DO understand and have empathy towards you. tell you what....let's have a pity party right now, this very minute for all of us who have stubborn limbs. Ready.....set.....GO....One....Two....Three........Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

OK, pity party over; stand up so we can all flush and get back to business.

Hope I've made you smile, even a teeny one. You are definitely loved unconditionally.

((((HUGS)))

Sue,

The pictures are terrific!!!!! Glad to hear you and Ray had a great time with family. More memories were created to be cherished.

Kimmie,

Sweet little Gypsy will establish her territory in short time and all the boys will be listening to HER. I'm so glad you had a great time with your little Jake. Jake will be a big brother; hope all goes well for the remainder of Tiffany's pregnancy. Good she'll have the hysterectomy after giving birth.

Look forward to seeing the pics in the gallery.

Leah,

I also enjoy reading your blogs dear lady. I wish we could have met face to face before I left AZ. You are a very special lady and friend and you do have meaningful things to say and a terrific way of phrasing them. You need to do what is good for you though, and we will cherish your updates.

Yolie,

It warmed my heart to read that the special needs children were NOT being isolated from the other children. Kudos to the church officials for the way they are running the program.

Hope you and lil Miss Tootie continue to enjoy VBS. :friends:

Great news Diana about your Ozzy. Hope you had a great outing as well.
