Hi, Sitting here watching to see if the Tsunami is going to hit Hawaii ?Good news we have plans to visit there March 20th and then to visit daughter in Australia. Bad news might not be a great thing to go. We are having some strange things going on in our world. So sorry for Chili with the earthquake.
My life has pretty much been getting my brother taken care of. He was in hospital for 2 months and now been in the nursing home for a month. Trying to get SSI started and medicaid. Bunch of paper work. He has started Physical Therapy and is a little better, but still paralyzed on his left side. Any advise would be appreciated..
Our son had to come home from college, the work load was just to much for him, at least he made it 1 semester and enjoyed it!! Guess our empty nest if not empty anymore. We will adjust again. And that is my life for now :)

Is it Fall yet?
Why does it take me so long to update??? August 30, 1009
Here we are in another state getting our last child settled into college. So in this post I am going to reflect on Life Changes. I am thinking of times in my life that until I went thru it, I just did not understand. No matter how many times someone tells you about it, explains it to you, tells of there experience with it, you still will not undersand until you do it or the time comes when you go thru it. Some of the times it has happened to me.
(1)After 1st marriage and honeymoon, I lay awake one night and think "what have I gotten myself into".
(2) After the first baby that I have waited so long for. The night before I went home, I looked at the baby realize this baby is your responsibility 24 hours a day for a looooooooon time.
(3) You last child leaves home, you have anticipated, prayed for this day to come and then when it does. Another Life Change.
(4) When you parents die, you know death is a part of life and it is bound to happen but when it does. Wow life change
(5) Another one I thought of when you take your child to real school for the first time and realize that they stay there for 7 hours without you, and you do not have to hurry back to the babysitter to get them. You look as they go down that long hall with there little back pack and never look back. Life Change
When #6 left on fri. with his big sister to arrive early and register for college, I could not look and say bye without crying. The next day his father and I arrived to help him get settled in. Think I will be better today when the time comes for us to leave . Think he is ready to fly from the nest and KNOW he is TIRED of us telling him what he needs to do. Bet he will walk into his dorm and never look back.
