YARD SALE FIND

WE SAW A YARD SALE THIS MORNING WHILE TAKING ROOSTERS TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW. WE DIDN'T ASK SO I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT THEM FINDING 4 ROOSTERS. ANYWAY THESE LITTLE ANGELS JUST JUMPED OUT AT ME. THEY WERE .25 EACH SO I GOT 8. I TOLD THE LADY WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WITH THEM AND SHE LET ME HAVE THE WHOLE BOX FOR 5.00. THESE WILL GO IN STOCKINGS FOR PREEMIES AND GO TO THE NURSING HOME. THANKS SO MUCH RANAE AND FRANKIE BAILEY. IT'S GENEROUS PEOPLE LIKE THEM THAT HELP MY CHARITY MONEY GO FURTHER SO WE CAN ALL TOUCH MORE LIVES. I'VE NOT COUNTED THEM BUT I'D GUESS AROUND 100 MORE OR LESS.

LAST THURSDAY WAS TIM'S LAST DAY AT WORK. AFTER I FINISHED GROOMING YESTERDAY I WENT WITH HIM TO TOWN TO FILL OUT NEW PAPERS FOR COBRA INSURANCE AND GET HIS UNEMPLOYMENT STARTED. HE DID THE PAPER WORK AT WORK BUT MY SS# AND BIRTHDAY WERE WRONG NOT TO MENTION MY NAME. WHO DID HE THINK HE WAS MARRIED TO? I MEAN IT WAS HIS HAND WRITING. HE JUST PUT DOWN WHAT THEY SAID. I CAN UNDERSTAND NOT KNOWING MY SOCIAL AND I KNOW WHY THE NAME CONFUSED HIM, MY NAME IS REALLY MARY KATHERINE HE HAD KATHY M. , IT'S THE BIRTHDAY I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH. OH WELL, I KNOW HE HAS HAD A LOT OF MINI STROKES AND THEY HAVE AFFECTED HIS MEMORY SO I'LL JUST LAUGH AND GO ON AND ADD A FEW MORE THINGS TO THAT HONEY DO LIST OF HIS.
HAVE A GREAT DAY, KATHY M.

EGF DONATION DRIVE

CANDY IS HOLDING THE ANNUAL EGF DONATION DRIVE. I JUST COPIED THIS OFF HER SITE SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO RE-TYPE IT. IF ANYONE CAN HELP OUT THIS YEAR IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

4th Annual Remembering Emma Grace Donation Drive
Obviously, life took a big turn several weeks ago with Hannah's diagnosis of Friedreich's Ataxia. Thus, I'm late kicking off the annual donation drive. I've received several inquiries about whether I would continue EGF. The answer is YES.....as long as I can. I briefly considered whether I could handle everything (and it may change as Hannah's disease progresses) but then I received 3 phone calls/emails for assistance in a couple days. So, I took it as a sign to keep on keeping on as long as possible.4th Annual Remembering Emma Grace Donation Drive Date: June 1 - August 15Goal: 1187 items & $535 in cash donations Items needed:Handmade -Bereavement gowns in all sizes.

OUR FISHING TRIP

NOT MUCH TO BRAG ABOUT TODAY.

A FIRST FOR ME

CAN YOU BELIEVE I LEARNED TO USE A RIDING LAWN MOWER THIS WEEK? WELL I GAVE IN AND GOT ON THE THING. I TRY TO GET THE YARD MOWED BEFORE THE WEEKEND SO TIM CAN REST, I USE THE PUSH MOWER. WELL IT'S JUST GETTING TO HOT TO USE IT. THAT HAS TO BE IT, IT CAN'T BE THE FACT THAT I'M GETTING TO OLD TO PUSH THE THING. ANYWAY I GOT THE YARD MOWED. THERE WAS THIS ONE LITTLE TIME I TRIED TO JUMP OFF BUT I REMEMBERED TO STOP THE THING. WHY WOULD MY FIRST THOUGHT BE TO GET OFF? I'M JUST GLAD TIM WAS IN THE GARDEN WITH THE TILLER AND DIDN'T SEE ME. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY LAST TIME ON THE THING.

WE GO TO HUNTSVILLE TODAY FOR TEST. TIM HAD SEVERAL THINGS SHOW UP ON HIS VISIT LAST WEEK WHEN HE HAD TO GET HIS PACEMAKER CHECKED. MOST WERE SHORT BUT ONE LASTED 29 MINUTES. TIM'S WORRIED ABOUT IT, I'M STAYING POSITIVE.
I HOPE THE RAIN IS GONE BY THE TIME WE LEAVE AROUND LUNCH.
