Making a Difference

Well we have a 6 week tenant at Mary's Bed & Bath. I was so excited to help book this stay. We have a visiting nurse that will be working at our local hospital. College girl and I worked hard Sunday to clean up the B & B after a group of six. And our guest arrived and was so happy to be able to start settling in. I also enjoyed some time to get to visit and learn about our guest.

He is a retired police officer that trained to become a nurse. As a police officer he had a heart attack and heart bypass surgery. It was due to a nurse that he was helped and it inspired him to go into nursing as a second career. I found this to be an amazing story as he explained all of his travels into a new career.

What a great way to join people you meet with different careers that teach us so much. I know that this gentleman desired to make a difference in people's lives.

Wearing Red and Having my Bacon too!

In search of ways to promote Go Red for women today I have found a new item.

BUT

First I want to be able to wear red today but would love to have this to put on:

or at least these:

Well, since I don't have either I guess I just have to put on my red blouse and my fun red tennis shoes. Now I am all ready to:



Join with millions of women, as well as companies, organizations and cities across America on National Wear Red Day, Friday, Feb. 6, 2009. By wearing red and making a donation, you'll help the American Heart Association support ongoing research and education about women and heart disease.

But speaking of heart disease. Who would want to order this in a club?


Telluride, CO is a place where bacon holds a special place in the hearts of many, and the home of a bourbon drink that features a slice of bacon dangling out of the glass like a garnish called the Mitch Morgan.

I could not fathom this drink at all. First I do not like bourbon and then to hang out bacon on it. It seemed just what the doctor did not order.

But I do like bacon! And then I stumbled on to this.

Baconnaise and Bacon Salt are two new products that give you the flavor of bacon but not the heart issues. You could pick up some Baconnaise and give your cardiologist a break. It does come in regular or lite and has lower fat than placing bacon on a sandwich itself.

You never know what your going to find next. I am still looking for that one hot red dress for a plus size like me. LOL I am checking out Nessa's WII Fit and also Curves so maybe it won't have to be a plus size after awhile?

day by day life is in motion

Well I know I do not keep up here as I should. But....well that was my whole defense.
There has been so much to do, understand and plan for. Of course, all the plans are not working. We wanted to be here for my youngest step daughter only to see that it is not to be as we hoped. Makes me sad for her and us. So much there but not going to say. My mother has had her first heart attack. Lord above has her here and onary as before. She feels she is not ill and all is fine. I do know that there are changes to be done but she is not wanting to listen to her daughter. She feels that she does not need to eat. And average day of food for her is a bisquit, gravy and a banana. Yes a day! That is all. Then add her cokes and cigs and she is a picture of health. Sure sure!
My husband is doing better and only has a couple of months to go on his meds. I am so glad for him. He is still tired all the time. But there is a end in site for him. My lovely daughter is working hard at college. She loves it. She lives for academia. I am back to doing child care for the twins and their siblings. And still doing minor repairs on my home bit by bit. Also have a large family reunion to get ready for. Time to finish the mail outs there. And as always, money money money. Yeah not enough of it. Duh! Would love to be one of those women who can easily pay bills and buy food. LOL I have not been to the grocery store in over a month. And don't see going anytime soon. But I know how to plan and no one here is the wiser. I seem to be griping too much. Need to look at brighter side of life. I am healty, have a loving family and am in a good home. Just take my meds and feel better.

Well have a good day all. And maybe I will get better at this.
