FAT

How do you know when you have gained too much weight?  When your fat clothes are too tight.  Guess that means this is the right time to start taking charge of what I eat. 

Today

I am sitting here in my living room, having done nothing much all day.  The list on the door is still there.  The camera cord is still lots.  My feet still hurt.  And it is nearly time to go to work. 

Not what I had originally thought I would be doing with this life.  But oh well.  Life goes on.  The sun is shining and the dog is not barking. 

On with life…..

Memorial Day

I have cancelled my Memorial Day get-together.  Alice, my sister, is having surgery and it is much more important that we support her. 

Memorial Day

Trish and I went to Grief Group last night. We were followed by one other lady, and it looked like we would be the only attendees. Then Others arrived. That is when we realized just how fortunate we are. One lady’s husband committed suicide. Another died of a lung clot in his 50s with a daughter that is 9 years old.

We did a worksheet that brought lots of tears, but it was cleansing too.

The social worker suggested not avoiding holidays, so i am hereby inviting everyone to my house this Memorial Day. There used to be a get together at the park with all of the family, but I am here and have a great apple tree, so let’s everyone gather and enjoy.

We can reminisce about those who have gone before us. Bring stories and pictures. I will have my printer/copier set up to share.

Snow, snow, snow

It's snowing again. Kind-of. Little snow pellets on my face when I an taking the dog out.

SNOW!!!!!

For those of you who live in the more temperate regions (Boise), I have snow again. The car was covered. Fortunately the driveway was not. I think it is even still snowing.

Bear loves it.

Just kidding. Almost. There is not quite this much snow, but Bear did have little pelets of snow on his back when he came in.

I have joined a new group,SNR Card Universe at http://snrcardiverse.ning.com. Here is my first attempt:



I know it is amaturish, but the deadline is tomorrow and I will be in Idaho tomorrow.

Olympics Hockey Team

I was watching Katie Couric on the News when an article about Josh giving this speach was highlighted. He has even been invited to Vancouver to give the speach for the current hockey team, and it is working for them too.

Enjoy:



This is from Ellen. It also gives the original speach from the Movie. Watch them both.

Now I am Looking

I just had some wonderful news. I am not eligible for survivor benefits until age 60. Can you say Job Search.

I'm Back

I had no idea how long it had been since I had blogged last. I knew it had been a while, but not this long

When I started this Blog it was to chronical the retirement Dell and I would enjoy together. Well, he has changed everything. So, when you or your spouse does not feel well, now matter what else is happening, GO TO THE DOCTOR. And keep going back until you find out what is causing the problem.

Dell had a Neuroendocrine tumor, which caused liver failure and his death.

So this definitely is the beginning of My New Life. Today I am calling the company to get all of the information about pension and his life insurance. Now I have to call Social Security to see if I will be getting something from them.
