New House for my Friends

Sunday was the dedication ceremony for the Carver's family new house. It is so beautiful! The ceremony was beautiful and the song, "The House That Love Built" was so fitting to the situation. Bucky and Mary have worked long and hard to accomplish getting their own home and that day has finally come. When they move in will be the final step. I can't wait til they do. They will be so happy. And nothing makes me happier than to see my friends happy. I had to work Saturday night so I came home Sunday morning and dove in bed and slept for about an hour. Then I got up and followed Mary's sister Sandy to the dedication. It was well worth getting up for. I didn't bring a digital camera so I'll have to wait to get the pictures developed. After the dedication, when everyone was touring the house, I played outside with Tori and another little girl. They weren't playing fair. They ganged up on me. I loved it though. I'm still a child at heart. Anyway, God let the weather stay beautiful for the ceremony and it couldn't have gone off any better. I am so happy for this family. Every time I think about it, my eyes fill with tears of joy for them. They are such wonderful people. I only hope that someday I can do as much for them as they have done for me. Their friendship alone is more than anyone could ask for. Anyway, I hadn't left a blog in a while and couldn't think of a better one to do than on my friend's new house and my blessing of their friendship.

Alone At Last

Most of the time I enjoy being at home alone. Gives me a break from having to take care of a disabled husband and an elderly mother. Now my husband is in the VA Hospital in Nashville, (a routine thing that doesn't really bother me), and my mom is in the hospital at Parkwest. I worry so much about my mom because she is getting old and so feeble. She has 2 dogs at home and one of them has to have heart medicine twice a day. Now I have to worry about that too. If I miss a dose, Mama will let me have it! I'm not going to have a choice but to drop my ASL class. I'll admit, I was thinking about it but now even if I decided to stay, I couldn't. My motorcyle is in the shop in Kodak, but I have no one to take me to get it. Oh well... I'll get it eventually. I can't sleep so I thought I make a blog. I was so happy last night when I got home from the hospital to find an email from Mary telling me she would be willing to help me learn. I think I'll learn more that way. I get to meet Mary's sister today. She's hearing but sounds like a really nice person. I love meeting new people. Looks like I won't be keeping grandkids this weekend. I'll be at the hospital most of the time. But that's okay. I need a break. Seems like I have something to do every day of every week. Maybe I'll get the chance to clean my house. Oh well, I'll do what I can. Thanks for reading.

About Me

I am now an RN. I love taking pictures, especially of my grandchildren. I love taking care of people and wish there was more time to do it. Management puts so much paperwork and picky stuff on us we really don't have time to do the job we are destined to do.
