Happy Birthday to my Nanny! She’s a whopping 96 years old today. My Mom, Sister and I are heading up to see her this afternoon. (Which is why I’m scheduling this ahead of time; I won’t be home to post it later.) Nanny is my maternal grandmother but has never gone by “grandma” or anything;…

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words
…but I’m chatty, so here’s pictures AND words. Mom’s birthday was last Wednesday the 8th, and we were going to get together at my sister’s on Saturday for a birthday party but Mom wasn’t feeling well, so we did it on Sunday instead. My sister had some technical problems with the grill (i.e. it didn’t…
Happy Birthday Mom!
Today is my Mom’s birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! Best birthday wishes for many, many more happy and healthy ones to come!
Somewhere Under the Rainbow
That sounds dirty and suggestive. Oh well, WordPress has already named the permalink so I’m sticking with it. (Yes I know there’s an edit button. Don’t bring logic into this.) It’s not meant to be a dirty or suggestive title at all actually. I was just sitting, staring at the empty entry title field and…
Life Updates
With all the focus on my blog about healthcare following my CNN.com article, I haven’t had a chance to update what ELSE is going on in my life lately. So here’s a bullet-point rundown. Love’s Dad was in the hospital again. Last Monday, July 2nd, he went to the ER late afternoon with severe pain…
A Very Bad Day
It’s just so much I can’t even explain it all. But the long, horrible story short is that the Element’s air conditioning is completely wrong. I’d say, “again” but it seems like it was never fixed right the first THREE times we’ve done it. This has been going on for TWO YEARS now and still,…
Busy Birthday
I have totally meant to make a post-birthday post for several days now but have been too busy to get to it. So here is a very brief (but photo-heavy) recap. More details to follow. Wednesday 16th My actual birthday. Love came home and surprised me by knocking on the door and when I answered,…
Happy Mother’s Day!
Wishing all the best to the Mom’s out there. And, especially to my own amazing Mom! Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Birthday Mika!
Of course, I don’t really know Mika’s real birthday, but April 27th is her adoption day so it’s the day I celebrate her birthday. This year makes her approximately 12. (Again, because she was an adult cat when we adopted her, we have to guesstimate based on what her info said from the SPCA.) Happy…
Inverness, Florida
Got up this morning, got ready and drove up to my Mom’s house. (About 25 minutes away.) Hopped in Mom’s car then drove up to Inverness, Florida. It’s is where my Nanny lives (my Mom’s Mom or my Grandma though she’s always gone by “Nanny.”) One of my cousins was in from Las Vegas and…
Love’s Birthday Weekend
Valentine’s Day evening was when I first realized I was sick. And I spent the next few days just in the typical, miserable fog of a cold. By Friday, I finally felt like the worst of it was over. With Love’s birthday coming up the following day, I ran an errand to the store to…
Happy Valentine’s Day
A day for love; both to give and receive. Hope you can spread some love today too!
John’s Pass Village
Friday I hung out with some of my family at a place called John’s Pass. First, I met up with my Mom. Parked my car at a convenient Target parking lot and then we drove to my sister’s. Picked her up. Then we went to my Aunt’s condo. (She lives in NJ but they got…
Daily Life
Haven’t had much exciting to post about lately; just going about daily life. The weekend we ran some errands and got out a bit. Love isn’t allowed to run yet post-op but he is allowed to walk so I made us get out and walk around Saturday. Sunday, he did breakfast with his family but…
Becoming A Habit
This whole spending the night at the ER thing is getting a little too common these days! First, let me assure you both I and Love are well. But late yesterday afternoon, we didn’t know that for sure. Love has his umbilical hernia repair surgery back on January 12th. Because of this, he is, of…
