Tuesday

Alvarez
Cort
Fender
Washburn
Marshall
                             Unfamiliar words

Love of music
And persistence
Grew the talent
Through fingers
From the heart
                              No lessons

So many directions
A young man
Can g-r-o-w
He shaves
And plays
                              Football and music

Grateful
For goodness
Talent
Dedication
Andrew
                             And family
                             Love 'em all.

Strains from Clapton
Drift
From
A Washburn twelve string
Not a chord missed

                               I'm in heaven.

For Two Shoes Tuesday

Gratefulness and Two Shoes in Texas...

Six Sentences with Two Shoes

During this unusual winter I am grateful for many things I had taken for granted.

I am grateful for indoor plumbing, power, fuel and food and am also grateful that I know how to make do. I am grateful for friends and family.

I mention indoor plumbing twice because I remember the out houses, hauling water, breaking ice and freezing my buns while the wind made the wall paper move.  Nothing colder than an outhouse on a winter's day with your behind bare.

Wishing you warmth and blue skies...and indoor plumbing!

Isaac Was Kind To Us...

The valley rejoiced.

Crossing The Rivers Again...

Headed south to Marcy.  Please excuse my medical terms and my misspelling because I have no ideal what the names are.

Marcy was up walking today and learning how to care for herself.  The Trak? has been removed and replaced with a much smaller device I think they called a Larry Tube where her prosthesis will be installed.  This will enable her to breath freely. After therapy she will be able to speak almost normally.

Hubby and I are going to be trained to help if she has difficulties when she arrives home. I am not a nurse but will do the best I can.

Not really what I had planned for retirement but Marcy needs us and she would do the same for us.  In fact, I have shown you pictures she has taken while sneaking around keeping an eye on Hubby with his heart condition.  He never knew he was being spied on.

I have been baby sitting my youngest grandson from after school until his dad gets off work.

All the things I think I had planned for retirement have not fanned out yet...but they will because I feel your prayers and well wishes.  Thank you.

Yesterday I woke Andrew for school, feed cats and chickens.  Did some laundry.  Hubby and I went to the chiropractor.  Hit the bank and Fred's looking for a pair of shoes like I gave to the angel at the hospital.  Answered phone calls, made phone calls, did paper work, babysat then fed all the animals again after I had gone through the mail for the day.  I stopped at eight.

I hope I am able to do what is needed. 

My Morning...

Rain...beautiful rain.
