Day 6
I'm not going to bore you with Linda's-not-smoking reports for a while--suffice it to say, I'm feelin' good and doing really well. It's so nice to breathe freely. YES! If I blow it, I'll let you know on this blog. As long as you don't see it here, you'll know I'm...
Day 3- Breathing Continues
Air. It's a delicious sensation, breathing. 🙂 I'm getting better at it every day.It is so good to have the Trail Boss back on the ranch. Mary Ann is recovering nicely, more like her old self and in some ways, even better. Her attitude is totally positive. Like me,...
Breathing is Nice–I Like It
Which is why I stopped smoking--again--roughly 36 hours ago. Mark Twain and I have more in common than writing books and loving it; Twain once said something along the lines of, "Quitting tobacco is easy. I've done it hundreds of times." This being late June, I don't...
Yee-Haw!!!!
Mary Ann gets out of the hospital today, and she'll be home either late tonight or tomorrow morning! Thank you SO MUCH for all your prayers and good thoughts--they made a difference to all of us.Throughout this very challenging time, the blessings have gone right on...
Happy Monday
We've had a lot of rain in Spokane lately, but today the sun is out, although there are clouds, too. Seems like an allegory for life.Mary Ann is getting better and better, I am happy to report. She is still in the hospital, but well down the road to recovery.There's a...
Good News
Mary Ann, aka the Trail Boss, is feeling much, much better. Around the Triple L, we're kicking our heels together. She'll be under the weather for a while, but she's on the mend and in very good spirits, and that's what matters.Looks like we'll get some rain today,...
One Foot in Front of the Other
That's the way it is, here on the Triple L. Mary Ann is still very sick, but we're hoping and, of course, praying, for the best. In the meantime, I'm feeding my horses twice a day and looking out for Mary Ann's pets and Jenni's, in their separate houses. It would be...
Return of the Barn Goddess
Thanks to the Canadian Wrangler, I haven't had to feed the horses for a while--I could concentrate on writing and travel, etc. That's changed, since the Trail Boss, Mary Ann, took sick during a visit up north, and she's confined to a hospital bed. Of course Larry and...
Northport High School
I spoke at my high school's graduation ceremony this past Saturday, and it sure brought back a lot of memories. Some things have changed--the elementary school and the high school have been combined, and have a much nicer paint-job--but a lot was the same.The class of...
Wii and Me
OK, last night, I bowled in my living room! It's a big room, but it isn't THAT big. 🙂 I even won a game, getting three strikes in a row--best of all, it's good exercise. No boring treadmill, or pedaling nowhere on a stationery bike. I'm eager to start the Wii-fit...
My Amazing Birthday
My 60th was wonderful--I received FOUR beautiful bouquets, a photo montage (thanks, Nancy and staff)--all sorts of wonderful things. Best of all, it was a quiet day, spent at home. My one wish for this birthday, you see, was for my daughter Wendy to come for a visit,...
Being 60
I can't tell you much about what it's like, since I've only been this age since 5:03 am. 🙂 So far, so good, though.The only thing I wanted for my birthday was a visit from my beloved daughter, Wendy, and she's right here. So why was there no blog yesterday, when I...
