Where has the time gone???????

I has been ages since my last post and alot has happened in that time. Mainly my desire to not deal with the bad stuff has kept me from coming back, but here I am and life is worth living again. In a nutshell, shortly after my last post, S developed diverticulitis and had surgery to remove part of his colon, three weeks later, he was back in the hospital with blood clots in both lungs and spent three days in ICU. After many months on blood thinners and another scare with his colon, we are finally feeling like things are getting better, and life is looking up. On the bright side I have lost 50 pounds in the last six months and feel much better, and my normal clothes fit again. My brother is moving here from California, for which I am very happy.



My children are healthy, my daughter has met and fallen in love with a wonderful young man, and no one close to me has died in the last year so life is good.



Maybe the good life will hang around for a while, and to make everyone smile, I am including a picture of Clare, the wonder dog. Enjoy!
