As much as I enjoy a good roller-coaster occasionally, by the time the ride is over, I’m glad it’s over!  Having my stomach lodged up in my throat isn’t something pleasant to me for long periods of time.  I want the ‘coaster to stay on the ground for awhile! I actually thought my emotional roller-coaster was … More Is the Ride Over Yet?

Yep, what goes up, typically must go back down.  When this happens on a roller-coaster it can be lots of fun, but when it’s your emotions going haywire, it’s not. Gary and I had enjoyed our first night as empty-nesters after getting Jeffrey all settled in his dorm room the day before (Well, Let’s Get … More Just Like A Roller-Coaster

Okay, we were on the road again to take Jeffrey to college in Arizona.  Since we needed to make up some time since our van problems the day prior (Oh My – What A Road Trip), we set a goal to try and reach Bakersfield, California by the end of the day. On we drove … More Road Trip (Continued)

Ha!  Have you ever noticed that when you’re bound and determined to follow the plan you believe God’s set out for you, all of a sudden one thing after another seems to go wrong? So started our road trip to move Jeffrey to his dream college in Arizona (Last Surgery). We had scheduled 3 days … More Oh My – What A Road Trip!

*NOTE:  The occurrences I have been writing about are things that happened a few years back, and are not current!  Please forgive me if there’s been any confusion. Yep I was a mess.  The anesthesiologist from my thyroid surgery evidently didn’t really think I needed a good anti-nausea med for my surgery, and because of … More Last Surgery (Continued)

It was time … time to go in for my thyroid surgery (One Down, One To Go).  And yes, I was a little nervous as the doctor had told me the surgery would take 2-1/2 hours, and I’d be under general anesthesia, yet again. The night prior to my surgery I was reading the Bible, … More Let’s Get This Last Surgery Over With!

Ephesians 4:29 ESV (italics mine):  Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Let me just say that usually that verse speaks to me because a lot of times I find myself … More What Are Your Ears Hearing?

Alrighty-then, my one health issue was taken care of, and evidently nothing could be done about my neck lump for another couple of months (One Down, One To Go).  So now we just needed to focus on getting Jeffrey through the remaining couple weeks of high school. One day Jeffrey came home with an invite … More Precious Surprises For Jeffrey

The gynecological specialist’s nurse called and got me scheduled for the endometrial tests very quickly (This Old Bod’ Just Ain’t What It Used To Be).  The scheduling nurse stated that most likely the doctor would do what she called a “scraping” and then send it along for a biopsy.  She forewarned me that it may … More One Down, One To Go

There’s an old folk song called “The Old Gray Mare” which goes on to say “ain’t what she used to be.”  Well, that appeared to be describing me all of a sudden, and I just couldn’t figure out why in the world all these things were happening now – I mean after all, the Lord … More This Old Bod’ Just Ain’t What It Used To Be
