Hi Trudy. Thanks for the comment. Your life sounds full of good heart things! I love camping but don't do much anymore. Sometimes we rent a Forest Service lookout tower nearby. and the 2.5 mile hike to get there just about kills me! Spend the whole "vacation" getting over it. Kind of feel like I went from 50 to 80 years old in about a decade <=( ? (I turn 60 this fall). I share your coordination problem - Boy isn't it true that we don't know what we've got till it's gone!? I so miss having legs that can go fast and hand/arm strength to handle horses! Then again I feel lucky I can still walk and type and cook and do most stuff well enough. It could always be worse, right? Glad to be friends and congrats on being featured!

Bravo on being a featured member Trudy!!

HEARTIEST CONGRATS ON BEING A FEATURED MEMBER,TRUDY> Reed

U know what Trudy I'm really having a poor me moment right now and yes he hurt me so bad back then. I'm sorry about ur g-mother too. My dasd was a tirant and more or less everybody knew about him and ran the other way when he apperaed. But that's a lifetime ago I just had to get it off my chest there. It really hurt badly is all I can say. Like I said I don't think I ever forgave him for that commednt and her's been gone for almost 2 years now and today for some reason I'm reliving that. It has helped me be more understanding in the long run and I always want to help the newly diagnosed here

My mom was great!! My dad? well I just put up a post about him. Wasn't the bestest there.

Honestly what would we have done w/o parents???

if you ever go to San Francisco, let him know. also he will be at the meetup in Philadelphia on June 10 (I know that's too far for you, but you never know). Here's my blog about meeting him in 2009

Trudy, what a nice blog. Manny's my superhero too. I hope someday you have a chance to meet him.

Spring has sprung here, what a beautiful weekend yet again! Hope yours was too :)

Report on last weekend's terrier trial to come ;)

Hi Trudy, Yesterday I was busy giving Suri a bath. It took me a long time to brush her and wash her. It was an all day project. She is so funny. She loves to be brushed and will come running and sit patiently for brushing, but when she sees me go toward the bathtub she runs the other way. My better half got her in the tub and I sat on the edge and washed her. She shakes like crazy, scared of it for some reason, but stays still and is calm. Now she is all clean and looks great. I am hoping to get outside with her for a walk today.
How are the hummers doing? Today I went out to water my marigolds and saw a red winged black bird, and mouring dove, so pretty. All the birds are singing right now. It is sunny and breezy today. Nice weather. Hope that all the puppies are well. How have they been doing?


Hi Trudy,
That picture was taken right before I got sick. I am having some kind of neurological issues, the doctors don't know what the cause of it is yet. I am scheduled for a brain scan and to see the neurologist. I am on medical leave right now.
I got a wooden box full of marigolds. That is so neat that the hummers are there again! I bet you were happy to see them. Suri is shedding like crazy. Today is humid here and we are stuck right in the middle at 74. Hope that you are having a nice day!

Baco Noir....my current favourite wine...cottage cheese with jam...cheers! Joanne
