Sad day today chatting with a friend online who has such a heavy heart. Too much sadness in his voice & words. Cried off and on all day thinking of the overwhelming pain he has to carry. I hope he can find some peace in his life, You forget how lucky you have things sometimes. Someone always has things worse than you do. "I cried cuz I had no shoes till I saw a man with no feet' comes to mind .... I have so very much to be grateful for. Some times I forget that. Alot of times . Think Thursday;s meeting should be on being grateful.
Ming is still shaking.
Had her duckie jammies on today.She likes her jammies but not like her sweater! loves that. Gave her a baby J&j orange flavor. Doc said she could have one a day. I thought it was from her meds before Now I just think its cuz she is old and hurts.

Its Official! BB is all a glow! Plant Forum Where Mr. Winner gets these is beyond me. But he has these statues littered through town. Yes. Mr.Winnner. Of "the club" fame. He lives here. Enough said about that! Anyways. Coming back from aunts today saw BB and HAD to take her pic to send Erin. She will get a giggle/
This weather! Great day. Took Nan to Nancy's Plant ForumShe had fun. I enjoy her company. She is looking into getting her pacemaker on the #11th. Glad Her daughter is taking her and not me as planned. I know she loves me but...her daughter should be there.
Ran into daddy & mama Joan so we had late lunch at Panera's/ I still feel like I am looking at a total stranger. He is just so very happy. I do think this year is their 5th anniversary. She is so very good to him. Daddy is looking old. More and more like his mom.
EVIL Wreck on my road on the way home . They had the bottom of Buckeye blocked off. Couldnt get up the hill . they said the wreck was on my street. Had to go a good 13 miles the other way. through Ohio and round about to get 1/4 mile to home. There was no other way to get to my farm! Love living in teh country. Still don't know what happened. But I would assume a dairy truck hit some one. They way they go flying down the road.
NOW! TO work on this flower for the window. have to redraw it. See ya later Mim!

Ugly Tai Chi . Felt really good today. but DANG!!! my fall really messed me up. Star is having us all to her place for Holiday. Bet she lives in a kickass house. If she is looking for people to go to Stone Harbor next Fall I might have to go. Glad I got to know her. alot of fun. went to Paneras after class and Ann shared her pics of China. UNREAL the gardens she has pictures of. She said it was nice but she wouldnt go back. Now it makes me wonder. She thought Nicks trip would be close to $3,000. WOuld have to sell alot of stuff to go. I dont know.....It would be great to go with him though. have to ponder.
Sang my lil heart out today traveling to work. was horse by the time I got to Liz's/
Caught up with Linda at Philly airport. She got that job she had been wanting. good for HER! Tilly is feeling better.
Still no word on what happened with that wreck , but the 45 MPH sign is mangled and so is the guard rails. EEEEEW mama.
CAnt believe tomorrow is Dec 1. Where has the time gone. Erin wil be here in 3 weeks. OY!
had 15 there for the meeting today.That poor one girl is still crying. but she comes!. She;ll be okay. A lady had on a Jackson's Mills shirt today. I could use a conference. Might have to do that forsure. Getting all these signs to go away. I could use a conference. Get my battery charged.

Plant Forum Today is" World AIDS Day." Remember when you first heard that word? Couldnt even remember what it was. Remember when you found out you lost a friend to AIDS? I lost my friend Robbie . A very fine young gay man which I am very proud to say was a good man. Robbie never fit in with his family and 4 other sibblings. His parents put him into a foster home. I lost track of him in highschool and when I was going to Edinboro... there he was!. Just as sweet and loving as
always. He even tagged along with us on the train to NYC on our honeymoon with that chick whats her face so he could see that Art show.I still weep everytime I hear Tupelo Honey. Robbie could always make you laugh no matter what . What a talented artist he was. Shameful that his family did not appreciate what a good soul he was. They lost all the way around.
So
Progress.. rather than Perfection!
I can now stand up tall and put my head to my knees grasping my ankles. Couldnt do that in August. lol. Or maybe I could and didnt know it. I got Nick's Inside Kung Fu mag Hall of Fame 2005 man of the year!) Dvd.Seated Qigong massage
Its to improve circulation. have to pop that in tonite .
WINDY as all get out today. OH MY. The hawks comin.
Betty and her sister went to Germany for the Holiday season today. What a trip she is going to have. She'll have a great adventure to share with us girls when she returns. have to check into those shoes she told me about."Massoui barefoot technology"
Erin says it 38 at nite.During the day in the 60's . my poor lil girl! she says it feel colder than it actually is.
