september 22, 2007 - patience is a virtue...

top of the afternoon, friends....



another beautiful saturday - in the 90's - and yet - I'M NOT ON A MOTORCYCLE!!!! this is killing me!

the swelling in my ankle seems to be less today. i hope it stays that way! i'm still having a bit of trouble keeping food down these days, but i'm trying a new nausea medicine that i hope will help. i'm still holding at 100 lbs - but i can't afford to lose any more!



i just finished my workout this morning, and am contemplating going to the jackson apple festival this afternoon with terry and friends. terry came up last night and stayed over. we had wendy's chili and baked potatoes last night after a long stroll in the neighborhood. the dogs loved it.



i am expecting a friend in a bit. she's a nurse that i met at buckeye girls state many years ago - julie broughton. it will be good to see her. after she leaves, i'll probably head south.



i met carl roark and kathy mccarthy at the rice bowl yesterday. it was a nice surprise to see major john born and his crew from OSS (shawn davis, toby smith, melva dodd, tony bradshaw, etc...) as well. they sat at an adjoining table.



while we were at the rice bowl, i received a call from the retired bud "elzie" and captain dave dicken, who had ridden down to the athens harley dealership. on their way back, they had stopped at my house and vandalized my flowers. what friends!



mary called me yesterday and may have had a little set back. she went for therapy yesterday and her foot was swollen and discolored when they removed her cast. they believe she may have another fracture. they took additional xrays and will find out monday. please keep her in your prayers.

terri w - okay...i didn't call the cops on christy! since i haven't heard otherwise, she must have done the law-abiding thing and returned the mustang. if anyone hears otherwise, let me know.

well, enough for now....i must get ready before julie arrives. have a blessed day and enjoy this wonderful "motorcycle" weather we're having!

Major 1095 - WOW what an awesome ride you must have had! There is nothing like the hills and curves in southern Ohio. It is a blessing that you are off the meds that were upsetting you. Throughout life we come across many paths, roads and bridges, we do the best we can to make the right choices and experience life to it's fullest. There will be times when we feel that our prayers are not answered as quickly as we would like but it is all in his time. There is nothing that we can't overcome when we have faith and leave it in his hands. - Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. - Mary

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa.

Hi Lisa,

Been awhile since I last wrote. Have been in Africa for the past month visiting my sister Joan and my new niece, Naledi. Traveled around Namibia, Zambia and Botswana for three weeks and the fourth week was sight seeing in Windhoek, Namibia which is the city Joan works in. Had a wonderful time and learned lots about the country and the long way it has to go as it develops.

Keeping up with your progress by reading your blog and like to say, keep up the great spirits and work. All will work out I'm sure of it.

You take care now, bye for now
