MOMENTS IN LIFE
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us.
Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Please send this message to those people who mean something to you (I JUST DID); to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.
Don’t count the years-count the memories...........

Like An Old Chevy!
On Tuesday it was start fixing Momma day. I had put off a few things while Hubby was on the mend but now it was time.
The day started with a trip to Dr. Hukill, our personal Physician’s office for blood test for cholesterol and liver.
From there it was Sears to order the glasses Dr. Rohr had prescribed.
Then to Dr. Robbins office to check on my right ear. I had a non-malignant growth removed from the mastoid cavity about three years ago and surgery to replace part of the damaged bones. I had no hearing in this ear recently and was afraid the growth had returned causing deafness. But a few minutes with doctor cleaning and checking reassured me it was just a wax buildup and the hearing has returned.
The glaucoma treatment is scheduled for August 1st and 8th. Then other than what Dr. Hukill has to tell me I am in good shape for the shape I’m in!
I’m like an Old Chevy--I need a tune up once in a while!!
Update: A call this afternoon (Thursday) said the blood was excellent!
Potato And Onion Boxes!
The work has started again on the infamous Potato & Onion boxes. We purchased the plans in 2000. In 2002 Jay built one for us. He bought and cut out the wood for four more at that time. Then he went blind. The next three years brought some sight and loss of it a few times. But it also brought a failure in stamina. The by-pass surgery in April this year has done wonders for him.
Once in a while he calls me to the garage to lend a hand.
I get to use the sander when construction is complete. Then it is off to the hardware to buy Min-Wax stain and finishing ( what ever you call it ).
But when you haven’t work like this in a while sometimes you need a ‘sit down’ near the end of the day.
It does my heart good to see him up to doing projects again!
