back home

I'm back from my trip to Arizona! It sure was good to get home! I had a good time, the weather was nice,topping 81 degrees one day. We shopped,and saw the sights, and visited alot. I got to see my kids in Denver, we had a 3hr. layover there, each way,going and coming back. I did alot of praying on the plane for a safe trip, the prayers were answered!! I still have jet lag though. MORE TOMORROW........ :)

This is me when I was 15 yrs. old - Obviously I no longer look like this! - BUT, I'm not going to post one of me NOW!

The blush is sure off the rose now!! ( 62 )

My reason for putting this here is to let everyone know,

that no matter what you look like NOW, you should just be glad to be alive!

There is so much to be thankful for, at any age!

I was on "classmates.com" recently,

and the ones that did post pictures are so sweet looking to me!

I'm just glad they are still alive & kicking!

AND BRAVE TOO! :))

If you ever get the chance, and are looking for old friends, or

old flames, Give it a try!! It's a great way to spend your time!

And you might be pleasantly surprised at some of the people

that are interested in you & what you are up to these days!

The first month is free also! You can upgrade after that, if you want!

ENJOY!! :)

Be responsible pet owners!

My trip is 6 days away! I'm proud of myself because, I have a place
for my bird to stay at last! He is a tropical creature, and spoiled by
me! I could not leave him in the hands of just anyone!! My dear nephew,
Cole will be watching " Tuffy," and no doubt will do well, after all, Cole
has been watching my dog, " Petey " for 5 months, he too is spoiled!
I cannot have my dog where I live- - he's too big! And he is a pitbull!
But such a sweet dog, he gets along with everyone - people -cats -
chickens, he just considers them all playmates! The controversy
about pitbulls is just not true of all of them! That would be like saying
people of a certain race are all bad - duh! It is always about how pitbulls
are raised, unfortunatly some ppl. raise them to attack! They train them
to be bad, this is NOT GOOD! - It's true that their jaws lock onto their prey,
unlike other dogs, that will let go. As a child of 13 yrs. old, I was bitten by a Collie,
named," LASSIE " I had 14 stiches in my calf! All dogs can be dangerous,
but just because I was bitten by a Collie dog, doesn't make them a
bad breed of dog! My parrot, "Tuffy " is much more disagreeable than, " Petey !"
But The Bird loves me :) !! Everyone that meets Petey, likes him, however not
everyone likes or trusts Tuffy! The press is very powerful, and they are the ones
that make decisions for the public, based on their "knowledge!" Have they ever
had a pitbull? Do they really know what they are talking about? The attacks on
children, and others, are the result of the OWNERS who trained the dogs to be
MEAN! Shame on you!!

decision

I've decided to be a blogger! :) This morning while looking
over various blogs of note, I thought, "how different we all
are!" We all have needs to be "who we are" and this is good,
this is very GOOD! I believe my need to be here,is for the
better, I need to talk , and very often no one to talk to, so,
here goes!
It has come to my attention this morning that, I can move
around without coffee, I can even drive! Even at 7:45 a.m.!!
(Although, I really would prefer not to.) I had to go to the
clinic and have LABS done, and they told me not to eat or
drink anything - groan - I had my doubts as to whether I
could actually do this! I am glad to say - - it can be done!
I hope I never have to do it again though! We really are
creatures of habit - -yes? By 8:45, I was back home having
my beloved coffee, and yes, oatmeal & toast!
Anyway, while looking at the "Blogs of note," I heard some
good music, got to read about their interests, see their pics,
and was no longer alone! :) HELLO OUT THERE! :)) Have
a good day!

Did you ever stop to think that, for every person that has no health insurance, and can't pay their doctor, or hospital bill, many more who
DO have insurance, and CAN pay their bill, are over charged by that same doctor or hospital? ! - - - - SO, it should even out! :)

I call the computer, "The Demon" because
it eats up all my time,I don't eat right, or do
my housework on time, I forget that I was
suppose to go to the store or post office!
Or even EAT! Or feed my bird! This is not good!
I can spend hours on it, and time just speeds
along!..... I think it's trying to kill me!
I'm going to have to show some responsibility
to my chores!!!!! But tomorrow! K?

my trip

I am going on a trip to Arizona in a few days- -I really hate to fly,
but more than that I can't wait to see my only living sibling!!!!!!
Her name is Rochelle, pretty name, huh? She is just an adoreable person, (I could be biased)! She has tree sons-M-M-&M................
Strange.... her first boyfriend's name also started with an M! ......
.....Anyway, I hope we have an enjoyable visit, it's been way too
long! She has always been fun to be around, and always a very
good sis. She and I lost our older sister in April of '08
:( Leaving us alone to carry on. To all of you who have a
sibling, or many- cherish them-enjoy them-love them before
it's too late.
We plan on having an excellent visit! Another plus is, I will have
2 hrs. or more overlay at airport in Denver, and I can see my daughter and her 3 kids- - - YEA!
