    Great news Sheila!  Just sent - hope it works :)

    Our back window on the car got smashed too recently - nothing taken.  Just a random stupid, expensive crime.

    This is a real picture from Istanbul (Of course it is a recent one)......One of the Princess Islands that

    I used to spend 4 months during summer...half an hour by boat from the city.........

    Maybe you can understand the love i have for Islands and water..........Cool

    Sometimes I think about it...it was so beautiful and I was so young....

    this is where i met The father of my children when I was 17.......

    We knew each other for 3 years before coming here

    He came to NY first and called for me 10 months later and we got married.........

    OK...I just wanted to share it with you......

    I hope the picture doesn't disappear

    GOOD NIGHT ALL.......

    PS: Did you notice how polite I was when I was describing him........

    It's Val's birthday?!  Happy Birthday, Val!!!

    I wonder if your grandson knows DD's friend - she's a sophomore. 

    Well, my cold got worse - nose starting to drip and tickle moved from my throat to my chest so I'm coughing more - so I went to visit my mother, I sniffed and my mother said - you don't sound good.  I said - yeah, I really shouldn't be here.  She commented something about spreading germs.  I started to say that I've been washing my hands a lot and then I said - you're right, I shouldn't be here - and I left.  I had told myself earlier in the week that if I wasn't blowing my nose or coughing, it might be okay if I stayed if I washed my hands a lot, but if it got worse, I would stay home.  But I feel like I'm abandoning them.  Can't win.

    I googled delirium and it described her behavior pretty well.  She is still experiencing delirium to varying degrees.  It's so hard.  Sometimes she has an idea that something isn't right and understands that she is there for therapy, but other times, she doesn't even know where she is, doesn't like being there, and thinks she can leave.

    Aw, thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! DD#1 gave me a beautiful scarf & DD#2 sent me an official MLB Detroit Tigers Tote. I was taken out to dinner to a local Sports Bar where I had good food & a fabulous Margarita (yum!).

    It is so windy here, there are warnings out. Crazy! I hope we don't lose our power. The power company has sent a crew around for the past year trimming back trees & brush out of the right-of-way to keep it all away from the power lines, but, my goodness, that wind is something else.

    Beautiful pictures, Sheila.

    I hope you feel better soon, Chris. And you are trying to do so much with less energy...  

    Sleep tight sisters (at least for a few hours) & sweet dreams. We don't need the nightmares, we are living some of those....

    Was under the weather all day...arm hurts from flue shot...like Chris, cold keeps resurfacing.  I dragged myself out for hair salon though and felt much better.
    Chris, I know it must be tough, but you just may need a break.  Feel better soon.
    Sheila, I am glad that you have found some peace ... you sound better.  I love your photos...my DD#2 spent a week on one of the small islands (can't remember the name) and then a week in Istanbul.  She loved it and brought me colorful painted bowls.
    Sand...I never thought of asking you for sand but next time I hope some jumps in your sandal and makes it back.  I love Hawaiian sand or any island sand....I look for lava rocks in the dark sand and coral and microfossils in the light sand.  And green sand??? that is a dream to have that handful of little gems.  I am easy to please.
    So Sandy got your sand...(as if she weren't Sandy enough Tongue Out )  She will guard it and care for it, I'm sure!
    About FB - I also love/hate it...I don't have time to keep checking and I don't like to post personal info about what's going on etc.  Do you talk on each other's walls or did you make a BC FB page?
    (((Val))) Happy Birthday - hope it was wonderful.  Lately I'm not around when you show up here.  
    Nite all,

    Joan

    I hate the wind.  It scares me now. 

    I hope your cold goes away soon, Joan.  They do like to linger.

    Hope you got some sleep, Sheila. 

    Have to take my friends to church.  Hoping I'm not coughing so I can help them up for communion, but maybe I should ask someone else to help them and then just come back and take them home after service.  Waiting to see if the decongestant stops my drippy nose and if my cough has calmed down.  I think I caught this cold from her - I blamed my husband, but it might have been her... (he still doesn't wash and Purell his hands enough...)

    A break is good, but my father doesn't get a break.  I worry about him.  He is trying so hard to take such good care of her and she doesn't see it.

    I was coughing last night so I didn't sleep well.  I felt a bit delirious myself, in and out of sleep, thinking I needed to be quiet so I wouldn't disturb my mother (as though I were still at rehab with her) and then other times, I was thinking I should really go home so I don't disturb DD and DH...hmmmm...what does that mean?  That I don't feel like this is my home?

    Linda...just saw your post about JW. It is possible he did. He told me the culinary arts students make all the food served. One test he had was having 150 varieties of fruits and veggies put in front of them. They had to identify each one by name. He said "Nan, I had no idea there were so many various varieties of each. He said an apple was an apple to me growing up, not a Rome. A Granny Smith, MacIntosh etc. the same with beans and potatoes. Said he passed with flying colors. Took a lot of studying and remembering. He really loves it. Especially the wine and beer tasting....bet he did great in that. Lol.....don't condone underage drinking (common today, sadly), but he is only 19. How do you legally have underage students do that. Oh we'll........

    Hey Sheila.....how are you.....it is 3:24 here, and I am bored out of my mind. Waiting for the Patriots game to come on. Lord I hate



    this time of the year. I have an IPad, and typing on it is a pain in the ass, so I don't post too much anymore. I am going to purchase a new IMAC all-in-one computer, then I will be able to move like a cheetah on the keyboard. Hate this way of doing it. My present HP is ready to go. Tired of the viruses, and slow speed.

    Beautiful here in Philly today, but we are headed into the deep freeze tonight. Watching the kids tomorrow for MLK day. They are off. Daughter has work. Out by 6:15am. Brrrrrrrr....

    Hope your doing well.

    My grandson who was staying with me called yesterday. He is doing very good, and said to me...."Nan, I am doing great....passed both my drug hair tests, and headed in the right direction.....I am clean, and my test came back. 0 drugs in my system".......,...I was near tears when he said...."nan, I could not have done it without you....you took me in, and under your wing, and I will never forget it".........I told him,"no, hon, you did it....I just told you you could, and that I believed in you".........

    My son called and said "mom, I have my son back, and I will be forever grateful....you did in 3weeks what his mother and I could not do in 2 years.....and our sanity was saved". I said "God is good".

    Well girlfriend you have a great day, and now it is 3:43. Hugs

    Sheilla, I laughed out loud when you were describing RPOC!!  hahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Feel better Chris, sounds like a doozie!

    Joan, I don't like to post a lot of personal stuff on FB.  I have one because I have teenagers and need to monitor them.  Also I DO NOT and WILL NOT talk about BC on FB.  Just my rule!

    Ducky, I'm so happy to hear he loves it so much!  How do they taste beer and wine??  Good question!

    Macys gift cards...............MINE WERE STOLEN!!!!!  Yuck!  I did contact Hollister and Kohls and they are sending me new gift cards.  YAY!

    That is so awesome, Ducky.  I am so happy for all of you. ((((((HUGS)))))

    Linda - I'm glad you are able to have your gift cards replaced.  I didn't know you could do that - I thought they would be kind of like cash unless somehow you had the card #'s - which I would not be organized enough to have. 

    Today was Youth Sunday - Pastor is on vacation - so no communion.  Another lady said she would bring our friends home, so then I was able to leave if I wanted/had to.  I was okay so I decided to stay, but shortly before they shared the peace, I knew I was about to have a coughing fit, so I got up and headed out.  Went to the car and coughed my guts out.  Tears streaming down my face - clumping my mascara together - lol.  Must have loosened some stuff up or something - my chest wasn't quite as tickly after that.  So, a few more coughing fits and I might start to get better - lol. 

    T minus 50 min to Patriots!
