My sister is coming home!
My sister has been living down south. In just a few more days she is moving back up here to PA. I was at her new home today to check the electricity etc, and be sure things were ready for the movers to arrive. I am so excited for her and her girlie girls, 2 lady doxies named Megan and Jamie. My little boy doxie is excited too. He loves the girls. Everyone is spayed and neutered so that's OK!

Check out the Nook Color. It's great. I have actually quit all my regular book clubs. I can even access the web and my email etc right thru the Nook devise. It's a great idea as a present for those who have trouble reading regular type print because you can adjust the size of the print on EVERY thing you read! It was the best present I have ever received!

February 1, 2011
I know I haven't posted in quite some time. Unfortunately the rest of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 have carried on in the same vein of loss and depression for myself and my family. My husband had some additional health issues that began with a cold. A man with one lung has to be careful of even the slightest sniffle and of course, being a man, he ignored it. Well, needless to say he ended up with an episode of emphysema and breathing troubles that required a weeks hospital stay. While in, they did a work up on his remaining lung and found a small nodule in the pleura. He refuses chemo and/ or radiation so that is being monitored for the time being. He is now on 4 new meds to aid breathing (2 of which alone cost over $500.00!) Thank God for his VA benefits.
We also suffered the loss of our son-in-law on New Years Day. He was battling alcoholism and losing. He and our daughter had separated so he could live at a rehab home that was supposed to be drug and alcohol free. They apparently take the word of the people staying there to keep sober, etc. Well my son-in-law was so drunk that he fell down the outside steps, hit his head and crawled over a snow pile. He wasn't found for 8 hours and had died of hypothermia. He was 46 and our daughter, now a widow, is 43. Such a tragedy for both of them.
For me another very difficult funeral to preform. I am hoping and praying for the tide to turn to more pleasant times for all of us.
