I love flowers. I love giving. And I love receiving. Even my “computer name” is a flower … Prairie “rose”. I love the way they look. They way they smell. The way they can brighten someone’s day. And convey the message that someone is thinking of you, and […]

What did you want and get?
A new (to us) vehicle. Our minivan was pretty much on its last leg. We took it to the Ford garage, and even they couldn’t fix it. We got it back running worse than when we took it in. So, I definately wanted a […]

Did you suffer illness or injury?
No injuries (unlike January of 2000…broken arm from falling on ice); and no (new) illness …just on-going worries with the heart being in and out of rhythm. After starting the weight loss program, I have had a few EKG’s, and numerous lab work work-ups… all which have improved over […]

What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Oganization, energy, get right to the matter of things, instead of flitting all over the board doing everything but what I’m supposed to be doing. Granted, most things got done, in the end, but I definately took the long way around. […]

Did anyone close to you die?
Yes, my aunt. The aunt that came into my life a few years ago, sharing her life with me and my mom. And then my mom died suddenly, and I was thrust into a world of caregiver. Not on a full time basis — she was […]
