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 :)

HOLIDAYS
So where was I? Had my 56th birthday and survived it rather well.
Had a good Thanksgivings with kids and grandkids. About 9 pm that night, received a call that my 58 year old brother had a stroke. It is soooo sad, my emotion are off the chart these days. He has no use of his left side. At this point about all he can do is feed himself. Mental he seem ok, most of the time. He has no wife, children. My sister and I are it. Please Pray for him and myself also to have the strength and wisdom to know what to do.
The good news is I passed my math for meds class with a B, and also anatomy with an A. I am finished with my core classes. Praying about trying to get it the LPN program in the summer.
Also had a good Christmas. Hope you all are doing well. Any advice, encouragment, prayer are appreciated..........Happy New Year

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.

July 10,2209
This is what is new at Fabulous Fifties, finally finished antibiotics for the pneumonia. However the next day, a tooth, really it is a crown started hurting, had to have a root canal on that to the tune of a small fortune. So on antibiotics again, go next week for a follow-up on the pneumonia.
So that is an update on me.
Dear daughter no. 3 leaves tomorrow on a plane for Austria, she will be teaching 5&6 grades for 1 1/2 to 2 yrs. So it will be a bitter sweet day tomorrow.I am excited for her, think it is a great opportunity.
Also my classes started this week, I am excited to start back and be on some kind of schedule!! Hope I can keep up, since i will be out 2 days the 2nd week for vacation...
Nothing ever materialized on selling the house, so we continue to enjoy it and also declutter.
Hope all my blogger friends are enjoying the summer. I check up on you all almost every night!!

Summer Heat
Well, summertime has come with a bang!! Hope everyone has some way of staying cool. I thank God and my sweet husband for air-conditioning.
Think I mentioned our Church camp in my last post. Last week was jr. camp and was great, we had about 35 boys and girls attend every day. I was excited to be able to help in the kitchen last week, believe it or not I did make it thru the week, everyone thought I was just going to be a puddle by the end of each day, I sweat so much, but I made it Thru. (Did i mention I do not do heat and humid weather very well?)
Friday afternoon, I came home showered and rested(slept ) for a few hours, woke up very tired and with a sore throat. Saturday morning up and My darling husband and I cleaned the whole house, still not feeling well, our weekend was full so did what I had to do, buyers were coming to look at the house a 2nd time, so yard, house, everything had to be in tip-top shape.
I had scheduled massages for us during the time we needed to be away from the house, also all the kids were coming to the house that night for fathers day and Husbands birthday..So off we went...By this time, I was not thinking clearing thinking I was tired and after the massage, my body felt like someone had run over me with a truck!!!! On to the grocery store then home, The kids came and pretty much brought stuff and got my stuff put out. I was no help and finally realized, I was running a fever. Needless to say, I did not get to work at camp this week. I hear that all is going well there.
I went to the Dr. on Monday because of a cough and it was driving me crazy and also my husband, he was so sweet about it. I have pneumonia, never have I been this sick and had no clue that I had that. Everyday getting better. This may be too much information but one things that is not enjoyable about the fabulous fifties is every time I cough I pee my pants, what an experience. I am getting use out of the package of depends I bought for my Mother-in-law before she died a year and a half ago. Glad I did not toss them....So please if your young don't make fun of them, they may come in handy if you are coughing 1000 times in a day in your fifties.. Love ya

Summer Time
Summer is here now. I was the last to get out of school for the summer,here at our house. I think I will get an A in both classes that I took. That is a very accomplished feeling for a Fabulous Fifties :)
Life is good. No crisis or challenges going on at this moment (as far as I know) so I am thankful. No one knows what bumps in the road we might hit tomorrow. On one of the the boards, I am on some one wrote something like Be nice to everyone because everyone is facing some kinda of battle. Not the exact words but that jumped out at me. Guess I better go back and write it down right.
Tomorrow is the first week of our Church's day Camp, We are so excited!! land was donated about 3 years ago and little by little it has come about. With a lot of work from many but the number one person would be my wonderful husband. God gave him the gift of having a vision of what something could be and the ability of being able to get it accomplished. So tomorrow starts Jr. day camp then the next week teen. There are many others that God has used also to help. Another person, God sent 1 1/2 years ago to be out associate pastor, He worked for 6 yrs, in a camp ministry, so Gods timing is perfect, Some of the fun things there 2 large lakes, swimming, fishing, boating, climbing wall and best of all a zip-line from a tower to the water . I will be working in the kitchen serving lunch!!
