My Uncle Leroy

To our side of the family he was Uncle Leroy to his wife's side of the family he was Uncle Roy,but
whatever the name he will be missed. He left this world yesterday and Thursday we travel to
Morganton to say good bye.

As a child I never saw him much as he drove a truck and for many years lived in Maryland.
Our family was blessed that about nine years ago we reconnected. My Mama is his sister and now
she is the only one left out of seven.

The last years we enjoyed many visits with him and spent a few Thanksgivings with him. Great memories
that we will always have.

He was a man who loved to travel when his wife was alive and these later years he loved to eat.

We were not able to see him these last months as his health went downhill but in my mind I keep
seeing a picture of him smiling and healthy and I am glad for that.

It is hard to say good bye and to know he is no longer with us in this world but he professed
a great faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ so now he is with him and free from pain.

Good Bye Uncle Leroy I was happy to know you and will always remember you with much
love.

Until next ti,e

Tragedy

I along with the whole world have been saddened and horrified about the killing of
all the children and teachers in Conn. It has been on my mind and in my thoughts all
the time. The horror, you just can't get your mind around it.All those babies gone. My heart
goes out to all involved.

May it remind us that our time is short on this earth and to live and love as if it was our
last day. Take care with the people we love and don't take them for granted.

But we are human and we will move on and forget until the next tragedy reminds us again of
how fragile and fleeting life is.

But for now hold close and love your family. God comfort and help the families and
help our country to see that being a Godless country is not working.

Until next time

Catch up for November

It has been a month since I have made an entry. During this time we have moved.
We are renting a doublewide just a road over from where we were staying. It is
so very nice. We have so much room. Mama has a open wide space to get around in
her wheelchair. She can do more for herself. It is great.
My grandson Zack has moved in with us so that is another adjustment but all is good.
God has worked in out in his timing and I am so very thankful .
Christmas is coming and I have our tree up really not one but Two trees. Can you believe room for
two trees?
We had to cancel our trip to Florida due to Mama and moving but hopefully we will be able
to go later.
Have a Blessed day

Halloween Eve

This keeps running thru my mind. A few words to make you think and fill in the blanks. I
hope I get a few comments.

It was a dark cold rainy Halloween Eve.The demons of disaster had been at work all up
and down the east coast. New Jersey has cancelled Halloween. What do you think the
cancelling of Halloween will mean? The favorite holiday of ghost and goblins.The night
when the real world and the spirit world are so close so very close. Can you really
cancel a day?
Your thoughts? Or you can just read and think what is wrong with this woman????
Until next time

Hurricanes

It has been a rough few days for the east coast with more to come. Hurricane Sandy has stopped
some of the biggest cities in there tracks.Our hearts go out to the families that have lost loved ones.

A tragedy like this can happen anywhere any time to any one. Nature has shown that over and over
again. No one is immune. It should make us all realize that material things are not that important even
though we work so hard and go so far in debt to get them.We all should be happy with what we
need and not what we want,As long as our families and loved ones are safe we are most blessed.

The ocean and the wind two mighty forces that cannot be stopped.
God be with and comfort the folks that have lost so much and have such a long hard road ahead
of them
Keep safe
Until next time

Beach

We are having a wonderful time at the beach. The weather has been just the best.The condo is small
but it is located close to everything.
The first few days were stressful as April was having some problems with Mama who decided to stand up by herself and of course she fell. Thankful she was not hurt but not a good start to the week.
We have another trip planned for December so I will have to make other arrangements for her.
We may be leaving just in time as Hurricane Sandy may impact the coast.
I love the beach in the fall when it is cooler and not crowded.
Until next time
