Hi All

just am trying to jump on here briefly and then get on with other things which need doing. iwill test myself and see if i can control my addiction to this place yet again. LOL at least it is free and doesn't contribute to any appreciable decline in health ...lol.

the sleeping thing wasn't optimum today ...actually I got a couple solid hours of it then had to get up & p/u the minister from the hairdresser's. I thought I was relieved of duty to have to shuttle her to her hairdresser appts anymore since the hairdresser had been coming to her house the last several times. But when I arrived at her door this AM she was happy that I was finally there and must have wanted to escape her house for a little bitas she asked me to take her to the salon ...what I thought was a retired Fri. routine. so much for sleep.

today has a special feel to it as it would have been my grandpa's 100th birthday. I am blessed to have inherited many traits of his. I am sure that I don't use them with the same seeming grace that he didbut I got 'em in any case. \:\)

i look forward to the w/e as i expect to be getting to spend a bunch of time (i hope) with my darling. she continues to mend her damaged and surgically repaired "wing" and seems to be getting along ok ...that is until the next medical thing crops up. i sure hope it waits a long while. As she always told me, it is a good thing that she is of Nordic/Irish and a bit of a reach ...but maybe has an honorary genetic degree of German-ess. That last part is almost an inside joke between her and I . bottom line is that when you come from a continually up-ended home life ...it sure seems to be hard to be able to pin down your roots. whatever her roots are though, they are indeed strong.

kind of reminds me of U BG ...if you happen to be reading. \:\)

peace, blessings & prayers to U all
