    Hello Dear Ladies, 

    I haven't caught up -and it's been a while ~unfortunately.  But we're all still alive & kickin' at whatever irks us ;-)

    I have talked with Cindy, Rick and Mom and things with Cindy are mostly stabilized. She says her memory is really awful, she's getting around a bit more -trying to take a couple steps every day so she doesn't lose all her muscle ... she's been upstairs once recently =0)    wiped out afterwards, but she made it up!

    The grandbaby is the absolute joy in her life right now -Aleeyah is 2 months old now! Rick & Cindy got to have her come visit for a week, last week, and it sounds like it was a piece of heaven on earth.

    Cindy and Alleyah

    So happy for Cindy to spend time being a grandma, I often think will it ever happen to me. Been in bed with terrible headache's and had my first shower today after four days. Will go to my doctor if it continues but I think it's just a migraine.

    Linda, hope your ok and enjoying your garden xx



    Love to all xx

    Great to hear from you Elaine.  How wonderful that Cindy is getting such quality time with her little grandbaby.  What a blessing for them both.

    Thinking of all you ladies and hoping the summer weather is letting you feel some peace and sunshine in your lives.

    Elaine, thank you SO MUCH for posting the pic of Cin and grand-baby! I still regret that I was unable to make the trip for a face-to-face meeting with Cin in November as neither of us was feeling up to it at the time. Stable is OK as long as she is having some quality time with the new baby.



    Did I post any pictures of my garden? I can't remember .... I swear I am having cognitive decline, but today, I was reading a very technical article in a very technical journal, and understood everything in it ... surprised myself ... commented about it, and DH said he thinks I never lost cognitive abilities, just overwhelmed with so much other stuff ... made me feel better. In any case, back to the garden ... we were at the bird store the other day, he found a little paving stone that said "Grumpy gardener lives here" so I just HAD to get it!!!! Will take photos this week and get it updated as it has changed a bit with growth, etc.



    Hugs to all of you, special thoughts for Cin and Elaine.

    Elaine - THANK YOU for the update on Cin and the wonderful picture! Her grandbaby is adorable, so squeezable! Awww!! Please send her my best and so glad she is up and about more these days, hoping her pain stays under control and she can keep making memories with her loved ones!

    We are packing up now to move to the Middle East, as crazy as that sounds. My teenager is excited, thankfully, making this much easier all the way around.  I'll be checking her over the next week or so and then will unplug the computer and will check in from over there.

    Love to all! And Linda, I saw your garden pic on another thread, can't remember where now, but I loved it!

    xoxo

    Doesn't sound crazy to move to Middle East at all Carpe.  Sounds exotic and adventurous.  I can smell the spices and visualise the vivid and vibrant colours already!!!  Good luck with the move.

    Linda the garden sounds beautiful.  Would love if you could post a pic of it.  I'd love to post one of mine-but all I have to take pictures is an old phone and can't do it.  You'll just have to believe me that my garden is 'NEARLY' as nice as yours!!!!

    Greetings Dear Ladies, I've done some catching up & found new people! Welcome =0)

    Linda, I'm so glad you have a new garden to look at -the new blooms, the butterflies, birds, (frogs in ponds =0) & all kinds of little creepy, crawly bugs and worms and stuff enhance it all that much more.  I'd love to see pics!

    Carpe, the Middle East, huh? A little more exploration in you -perhaps a new book for the new chapter in life? I'm really glad the family is happy about going together.

    Ali, so glad you're "clean" at the year mark!    Athena, your progression? Prayers for you!   Wrenn, Blondie, Gracie, Prognosis, April, Letselina, Celine, and the many many other women reading & being a part of our journey ... you're all amazing & continue to show me what strength and courage looks and feels like ~Thank You!

    The family got together the other day & took a bunch of pics ... here's one I hope you'll enjoy almost as much as I do

    Love to you all, Elaine

    Elaine, thank you so much for sharing this photo!!!!!



    Thinking of everyone here tonight, hoping Cin is comfortable.



    I am in the most healing place in the world for me: Vermont. I come here as often as possible, which is less than before BC as I can no longer make my solo road trips, have to depend on someone to come with me. But it is still a place that speaks to me, connects me to my Higher Power, reminds me of how much love our Creator had, giving us such a wonderful nature to enjoy. Even though it has rained every day and promises to rain the rest of the week, I enjoy the fresh air, smell of the wildflowers, feel of the cool moist fog in the mornings.



    Hugs and love to all. May you all feel a healing presence today.

    I wish Cindy a happy birthday, albeit with some hesitation. I don't celebrate any birthdays or even acknowledge them since BC, so don't want to offend you either way .... but you are in my heart and prayers EVERY day, happy for your grandchild, hoping for peace for you and your family.
