Happiness

There's nothing like a plate full of hot crabs for dinner. When I was in Savannah, we would go fishing, crabbing and shrimping and would be out on the river all day. 

Dance, Dance, Dance!

Boom, Boom, Boom! You hear the music and the radio is not on. Your feet start to move and the rhythm takes over your body and you just dance, dance, dance!

Something Inside So Strong

The beauty of the inside shows on the outside. Sometimes we are faced with difficult challenges and are forced to go inside to bring the best of us out. 

The Rose

When I was a kid, my mother always had a rose garden in the front yard and they were full of roses. She had several varieties from knock out roses which she lined up as a fence between our house and the neighbor's. She had roses climbing up on the side of the house. I guess I am taking after my mother, this is from my rose bush which is located outside my kitchen window. Every time it blooms I think of her.

The Smile

I met Calvin today. He is a very quiet man. He walks around with a smile as he takes in what is going on with his surroundings. His smile says more than he does.

My Travel Companion

Whenever I'm ready to hit the road, I know my travel companion will be right there. Doesn't matter whether its a 3, 5 or 7 day cruise, flying across country or jumping in the car and rolling out for a 5-12 hour drive, she will be right there. I call her the navigator. She's in charge of the directions, stops on the way and hotels. I'm in charge of the driving. This trip we were non-stop to the DMV area. 

A Lesson in Life

Today I visited my sister at the Kernan Rehab Hospital.  She fell one day and hit her head, she got up as if though everything was OK. Everything wasn't OK. There was no bleeding and she went on her merry way. Her personality began to change. She would lose her balance when walking along. She would holler through out the night and would cry out for no reason. This went on for several months. One day she went to the emergency room and they did a MRI, she was bleeding in the head and had fluid build up. They had to operate immediately. My lesson is to go to the hospital if you hit your head. Although you can't see the damage, doesn't mean that there isn't any. She has lost 60% of her memory and has to learn things all over again. Her life is changed forever.
