Just found out that a manager at work has lost her father this morning,, he had cancer for five years,, she and her family were not realistic about this poor man,, thinking he would never die,,
taking up a collection at work tomorrow for food trays for funeral home..

so tired, almost fell asleep in shower,, watched tv through my eyelids again for an hour..
He rose to meet his Father on Good Friday,, very apropos`!!

  i lost my wife to breast cancer 6 years ago and when i talk to men about their wifes with breast cancer the first thing i tell them is to remember that she is going to mdie. it sounds harsh but if you keep that in the back of your mind helping herverything else makes you job easier. it also helps when things get tough because you can accept the end . i know it sounds bad but if you can celebrate her life everyday she is with you,the days she is not there are full of memories for you

    Heaven is for Real is a very good book. Yes your dad is looking down on you and your mom and he is patiently waiting for her. Meanwhile he is guiding you to make the right decisions with good advise and help from professional people. Good Luck emoticon

    LINDA, it is coming here again today according to the weather it is so cold again.
I think I do prefer the snow to the tornadoes others are dealing with, HUGS Spring will come and hoefully soon. Then we get the black fiies and the fishermen coming to Maine. Do you have black flies? do you have your cabin booked do you do fishing? HUGS Pat in Maine. emoticon emoticon

Reserved my cabin, now looking to rent another one further west in the U.P. I have been swimming in Lake Superior my entire life,, one summer the water was 82 degrees in July!! Swam for four hours without getting out of the water!! Anything under 58 degrees is cold to me.

Since this cabin is so inexpensive, I think I can afford to do more.. I am deciding where I want to go before I go there..
talked to my friend Connie in Munising, they had a blizzard there, already got six inches of snow just yesterday,, no snow there in August, maybe September though!!
Will be going to her house Aug 17, 18, leave Aug 19 to go to Paradise for three days,, but may go someplace else BEFORE I go to Connie's...
maybe just loll around in my pool a couple days,,

    Too funny. My friend just drove up to Paradise this weekend. I'd rather go in August. :) I've actually ONLY been to the UP in the winter time. It's my goal to camp up there this summer.

Waiting for the snow to fall.. very cold and windy still.. sigh...
I was very naughty and had a glass of good red wine last night..
hey, I do not smoke, that drink was the extent of my vices,, one glass every month,, I should be having a small one more often for circulation, but the meds prevent that,as does my works schedule: i am a cheap drunk, one glass and I am asleep in 15 minutes,,

Going to reserve my cabin on Lake Superior today,, yea!!! First time away in over two years.. all by myself,,

  dO YOU ACTUALLY GO INTO LAKE SUPERIOR? aS i REMEMBER It stays very cold even in Aug? Would love to get away to a cabin by myself, sounds like heaven, but I like the water a lot warmer. The Gulf Of Mexico is at 78 right now almost ready to stick the toes in. What a great vacation to look forward to. In the meantime keep on sparking.
