I am retired you would think I would have<br />
<br />
time to get everything done. It is spring and I am working a lot in my yard planting and<br />
<br />
rearranging my containers.It takes a bit longer to do things as my spirit is willing but my<br />
<br />
body is weak. I try to do plants that will come back each year. I have a lot of hostas and<br />
<br />
knock out roses.<br />
<br />
My traveling buddy Jaime who is also my youngest daughter and I have a long weekend trip<br />
<br />
coming up this week. We are flying to San Antonio Texas. I have some anxiety as it has been a<br />
<br />
long time since I have flown. I will share details of the trip when we get back.<br />
<br />
I am also restarting Postcrossing. If you have not heard of the free site where you sign<br />
<br />
up to send and receive post cards from around the world.<br />
<br />
That's a short recap of what I am doing and what I am restarting. Thank you for reading<br />
<br />
and sharing this blog. I am sharing my postcrossing box<br />
<br />
and some of my flowers.<br />
<br />
Until next time<br />
<br />

I am going to try and restart my blog and hope that I will<br />
<br />
still have some readers. In 2016 I lost my Mama and it has been a hard time since. I miss her<br />
<br />
everyday. We all grieve in so many different ways.It is my belief and hope that she is in<br />
<br />
heaven and is no longer in pain but with our Heavenly Father and family that went before her<br />
<br />
This is the hope that I have.<br />
<br />
I have just finished up three weeks of travel with family. I am hoping to share the adventures<br />
<br />
with you in word and photos.<br />
<br />
Hurricane Florence has been around for a few days and is still giving us rain. Our part of<br />
<br />
the state of NC has been spared a lot of damage but that is not the case with other parts of<br />
<br />
our state . It will be a long recovery as the flooding has not reached its peak. The following photos<br />
<br />
are the convoys of help coming from other states to help restore power and etc.We are grateful<br />
<br />
for their help and willingness to come. Thank you for reading and say a prayer for the recovery<br />
<br />
of North Carolina and its people. Until next time!<br />

<br />
finish up at the Dr to go have breakfast with his wife like he does everyday. The<br />
<br />
nurse said why do you go everyday she doesn't remember who you are and his answer<br />
<br />
I know who she is. This hit home with me with my Mama. Mama's memory is getting<br />
<br />
really really bad and alot of times she doesn't remember me being there with her. For<br />
<br />
example she has been extremely sick and spent two weeks in the hospital and I spent<br />
<br />
7 days and nights with her and sometimes she doesn't remember me being there at all.<br />
<br />
The above story really touched me and shows that even though she might not remember<br />
<br />
I do. All you can do is your best and do what you need to do so there will be no regrets<br />
<br />
when we no longer have them here on earth with us.Mama may not remember but I do.<br />

I do not know why. It<br />
<br />
has always interested me. I could never understand why some people keep on<br />
<br />
making the same choices and wind up in jail and or prison. Why would anyone want<br />
<br />
to be locked up having someone watch you and have complete control over your life.?<br />
<br />
Today I made a visit to a prison and I still ask the question. Why? Everyone can make<br />
<br />
a mistake but when you don't learn from that mistake then it becomes a choice.<br />
<br />
The reality of the closing of the doors, the people watching you and telling you what<br />
<br />
you can and cannot do. I know there is always two sides of a story and my heart goes<br />
<br />
out to the folks who are living in this situation.. Be careful of the choices you make and the<br />
<br />
people you hang out with.Remember it not only affects you but also those who care about you.<br />

<br />
Just my 2 cents worth and a prayer that we all try to make the right choices so we can live<br />
<br />
in freedom and not locked in a cell.<br />

<br />
are in for a ride.<br />
<br />
I almost lost my Mama twice.She went in to the hospital for acute bronchitis and while<br />
<br />
there her heart stopped twice. Thank God she was in a place to get the help she needed.<br />
<br />
I spent 7 days and nights with her in CICU unit. She is 92 years old and what a fighter<br />
<br />
she is. She is still in hospital but after 14 days she is being moved to a skilled nursing<br />
<br />
facility to get her strength built back up. This is a miracle and I am so thankful for her<br />
<br />
recovery.<br />
<br />
I came home after 7 days with her in CICU and we have a winter storm ice, snow etc<br />
<br />
and no power for 3 days. The power finally came back on,last night.I had just gotten a<br />
<br />
kerosene heater so that was another blessing. I did learn that if you have an adjustable<br />
<br />
bed get it flat before the power goes off or you will be stuck in an upright position until<br />
<br />
the power comes back. It has been quite an adventure with a house full of dogs.<br />
<br />
All this was happening just as I had started a new job and another blessing was that they<br />
<br />
worked with me and just took me off the schedule so I could have time with Mama.<br />
<br />
So blessing after blessing and I am so thankful. So it has been rough start to 2016<br />
<br />
but we have been blessed in so many ways. Thankful to my Lord and Savior.<br />
<br />
God Bless<br />

This is Duster a rescue from our local animal shelter. I saw his photo online and fell in love with him<br />
<br />
Buster who was his Dad and Duster were owner surrendered to the shelter. When I went to visit<br />
<br />
Buster the dad was rescue only due to his barking and growling and they did not feel that he<br />
<br />
could be adopted out. Duster was considered very sweet but didnot like small kids. I picked<br />
<br />
him up and he just cuddled on my shoulder and was so sweet and loving. I adopted him and<br />
<br />
he came home to join the other furbabies. It seems that Duster was a very smart little doggie<br />
<br />
knowing how to act to get out of the shelter. I love him and would not give him up for<br />
<br />
anything BUT now that he is home he barks and growls at just about everyone and everything<br />
<br />
the same behavior that made his Dad rescue only. DONOT let anyone tell you that dogs<br />
<br />
are not smart. Duster is a character.<br />
<br />
Thanks for letting me share my tale of 2 doggies.<br />
<br />
God Bless<br />
<br />

<br />
It has cost them alot in so many ways.<br />
<br />
On this Veterans Day I wanted to share our visit to the National Museum of the Marine<br />
<br />
Corps in Quantico, Virginia. My husband served in the Marine Corp during the Vietnam<br />
<br />
War.<br />
<br />
The museum was dedicated Nove 10, 2006 on the 231st birthday of the Marine Corp<br />
<br />
It had exhibits showing the history of the Corp and the battles they took part in.<br />

She will soon be 92 years old and is still<br />
<br />
able to live in Assisted Living.The circle of life continues as she is getting more feeble<br />
<br />
everyday and her mental clarity is declining..<br />
<br />
She has been my friend as well as my Mama. She use to go with me on trips and we<br />
<br />
use to walk and do so many things. She was my confident and the one I could blow off<br />
<br />
steam with. I miss the ability to really be able to talk to her. The conversation is now<br />
<br />
mostly answering the same questions over and over again each time you visit. But you<br />
<br />
know that is ok and I am thankful she has the ability to ask even though she may not<br />
<br />
remember the answer.As I age my memory is declining also and sometimes I am told<br />
<br />
I ask the same thing over and over again. We will all reach, God willing, this season of<br />
<br />
our lives. Enjoy and cherish your Mama cause you will never have anyone to love<br />
<br />
and care for you like they do. Thanks for letting me write about my Mama feeling a<br />
<br />
little sad as I watch her decline physically and mentally but still so very thankful.<br />

I am a senior citizen, grandmother and a great-grandmother and I<br />
<br />
just got my first and only tattoo. I will share some funny pictures of me while getting<br />
<br />
the tattoo but it was a serious reason as to why I got it. Almost everyone knows of<br />
<br />
someone either a family member or friends who has or is battling depression and<br />
<br />
other mental diseases. Regretfully this sometimes leads to harmful behaviors or thoughts<br />
<br />
of suicide. I came upon this web site while dealing with this within my family. The<br />
<br />
website is "Project Semi-Colon". It is to let these friends ,family members or whoever<br />
<br />
we come in contact with that we are here for them and that their life is not over. There<br />
<br />
is hope and their is help for them. We all can help by being there and taking their<br />
<br />
cries for help seriously don't just shake it off. There is alot of information and resources<br />
<br />
available.www.projectsemicolon.com<br />
<br />
Now the tattoo and the very funny but true photos of this lady getting her first and<br />
<br />
only tattoo.<br />

A lovely seaside town along<br />
<br />
the Mystic River. The historic town of Mystic is built around and near a drawbridge.<br />
<br />
Mystic Pizza was our first stop to get some great pizza. This was the filming location<br />
<br />
of Julia Roberts movie "Mystic Pizza". The main street had lots of great shops and<br />
<br />
food. This may sound strange but it also a beautiful cemetery with many<br />
<br />
beautiful trees and water.<br />

<br />
It was a very good trip in all ways except maybe for the traffic. This old southern<br />
<br />
lady's nerve were shot. My daughter does good. The toll roads are expensive we <br />
<br />
could have got a tank of gas with what we had to pay in tolls. The weather<br />
<br />
was very good not to hot and not to cold. We saw a lot in the five days we<br />
<br />
were on the road and put quite a few miles on my daughters car. We get<br />
<br />
to mark off the following states. Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.<br />
<br />
We only have three states left to visit and we will have visited every East Coast<br />
<br />
State. The last three to visit are Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. Our first stop<br />
<br />
was Mystic, Connecticut. So check back for details about this lovely town.<br />
<br />
Until Next Time Linda<br />

BUT we<br />
<br />
did manage a day trip to the beach. Two of my daughters and one of my grandsons. We<br />
<br />
are only about 3 hours from the coast so not along drive.I use to do it many years<br />
<br />
ago when I was a teenager and we didn't have the interstate highway. I love sitting<br />
<br />
and watching and listening to the ocean but quit actually going in the water a long <br />
<br />
time ago. At this time there has been some unusual shark attacks two young people<br />
<br />
have been bitten and lost their left arms.I think a lot of people are staying out as there<br />
<br />
have been quite a few sightings in shallow water. I think it is just a sign as to how bad<br />
<br />
our eco system is out of balance. We did have a good day with no bad things happening.<br />
<br />
My two girls had a fun time in the water even though it was rough. My grandson and I<br />
<br />
sat and watched them.<br />
<br />
My favorite time for the beach is in the fall and spring time when it is not so hot and<br />
<br />
crowded. A day at the beach in summer is very rare for me.<br />
<br />
Until Next Time<br />

<br />
The first annual Balloon Festival was held in our area Memorial Day weekend and it<br />
<br />
was a great success. It experienced some problems due to the unexpected turnout. It<br />
<br />
was a free event except for parking and food. We were able to attend two days of<br />
<br />
the weekend and enjoyed it so much. It was a beautiful sight to see all the colorful<br />
<br />
balloons getting ready and going up in the air.<br />
<br />
It was held Memorial Day weekend so they had a Field of Remembrance that you could place<br />
<br />

This is another local museum<br />
<br />
that has been ignored by me for years. It far exceeded my expectations. It honors the<br />
<br />
life, the loves and the legacy of a small town farmers daughter who became a leading<br />
<br />
lady in Hollywood and an international star. The museum contains memorabilia from her life,<br />
<br />
clothes jewelry and movie costumes. The museum contains portraits of Ava<br />
<br />
completed by Bert Pfeiffer who did a portrait of her yearly for many years.She spent the<br />
<br />
last years of her life in Spain and England. Ava died January 25 1990 from pneumonia.<br />
<br />
She was buried in Smithfield NC beside her parents. The photos I am sharing show<br />
<br />
some of the excellent exhibits they have, the portraits done by her admirer and her<br />
<br />
gravesite. I hope you enjoy the little bit of information I have shared.<br />

We finally<br />
<br />
decided to visit it and was very surprised as to how great a museum it is. The location<br />
<br />
is Bailey NC. The museum was donated to East Carolina University in 2003 and is the<br />
<br />
oldest museum in the United States dedicated to America's rural health care. The artifacts<br />
<br />
cover the time period starting in the late 18th century to the first half of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
The museum was started in 1967 by a group who wanted to preserve this part of history. <br />
<br />
The museum consist of the Freeman-Brantley building which is two actual Doctors<br />
<br />
offices that where relocated to site. It contains many artifacts of the practice of medicine<br />
<br />
including leeches. The Carriage House contains forms of transportation that was used by<br />
<br />
the Doctors to make house calls. <br />

<br />
places to visit on the weekend. It is strange that you live somewhere almost all your<br />
<br />
life and have never checked out local places.<br />
<br />
We start out with our small town which we discovered has a museum. It is still in<br />
<br />
infancy but growing. The Youngsville Womens club started it in 2007 by purchasing<br />
<br />
the oldest church building in town to preserve it and to make it into a museum to <br />
<br />
house the history of Youngsville and the surrounding community.<br />
<br />
The Youngsville Christian Church was first organized in 1886 and it is still a lovely<br />
<br />
building and I am so grateful that it is being taken care of. There is still a lot of work<br />
<br />
to be done on the church to bring it up to date so that the museum can expand and be able<br />
<br />
to take in more artifacts The articles they have now are great and it is a pleasure to<br />
<br />
look at them and learn of the history of our town. Did you know that it was <br />
<br />
originally called Pacific in 1848 when the first post office was established? It was<br />
<br />
incorporated in 1875 as the town of Youngsville. History is great and I am glad that<br />
<br />
our hometown has a museum.<br />
