Here's the invite from Gregg and Nelly which Gordy and I received in the mail. As I plow my way through correspondencr electronic nd paper, I found this gem waiting for usns.

I sent them a teasing congrats email as soon as I opened it -- their reception is a day after my b'day, so I teased them that it was quite an elaborate scheme to create a surprise party for me. ;p~~~~

I don't know if Gordy and I will be able to attend the reception, especially since I used up a slew of money on Clear Passage [like they tell you on the airplane, put the oxygen on yourself first, then your child etc...so we'll see how my health and finances pan out as we get nearer].

Also, I must follow up with CP later on, about 2+ months, and that is another expense, and leaving Mom yet again, well...it will be tighter still.

But, according to the grapevine, there should be grand nieces and nephews in the future, so that will be exciting and probably more meaningful to visit then, when the Gillpeople arrive & possiblly I'll have shored up my coffers by then. A gal can dream, right?

Peace

"Home again home again jiggidy-jig" as my Mom would always say prior to her Alz taking over.

I'm Home!!!


  • There are flight stories I will tell
  • Health Stories to share
    And photos, lots and lots of photos

You won't believe the plethora of mail I have to go through! I have tried to weed it down daily. Oy!

I can't wait to see my Dear Mikey and tell him how much his care package meant to me. I just got off the phone with him.

Katie of course did a whole lot of "punching" out of "friends" aka dinosaurs for me. I love her too as I've said a gazillion times over.

I am so glad that Rob, Katie, Jenny and subsequent SOs of theirs, William, Colby, Hannah, and the grandkids, ahhhhh the GRAND KIDS, the lessons I learn from them, Miz Robyn, Mikey and Evan E.
What joys they all are.

I loved seeing my man at the airport. In the morass o' people (imagine that late at night, who'dathunkit?) we couldn't see Doug or Gordy, then Kim phoned Doug via cell phone, and they were at the same carousel and everything LOL, so they finally appeared, asnd oh boy oh joy oh rapture, and My honey also brought me 4 roses, not for the liquor, but for our family, One for Gordy, Me, Zach and Olivia [sorted by age].

The piles of mail is overwhelming, but I also got 2 more Great Uncle Al Herman sheet music. It would be swell if Mom had some recollection of that piece of time when I show her them.

Well, gonna add words today and later on to keep y'all posted.

peace

Ooops, fergot to mention, Gordy did a great job when I was gone working on cleaning and rearranging some furniture, and I have MY BED back, no more "sleep comfort" for me. I didn't like it at all. I'm going to sell itk and I hope I make some money back 'cuz there was a huge cashflow out-going these past 2 weeks for sure.

Today was my last day at Clear Passage Therapies and it was a truly remarkable experience.
I will be writing about this in my 'blog later on, I'm still absorbing things, and I also have to set aside some time to do this visit justice.

Hang in there, and, FWIW, anyone with pain; or chronic pain, I suggest you try this therapy - it works; I am sure every one's level of recovery is different, again, more details coming.

Peace
