Church

How often have you found yourself sitting in one of many  church pews chairs  at a local church?  Today you find that some churches have installed soft cushions to keep your bones from going through the wood seats.  The wood pews have been around for years and are very uncomfortable to sit on at long periods of time.  Being involved in church activity brings about decisions of how the church can maintain and stay upgraded. 

Mom

This is one of the few times I will ever have of her eating, because she has stopped and we had to have a feeding tube installed.  She will drink water during the day and snack on things she really wants, but to intake a meal or even try is something she balks at.  She was in the hospital in this picture.  This was one of the many trips she made last year before we put her in the nursing home for special care.  It's just too bad that she chose to go this route, because she was so active before.

Welding

 There are special equipment needed for certain jobs, and getting  welding jackets at bakers gas  is just one of the many products that are a part of this.  I have noticed that this company specializes in many types of clothing as well as other equipment for heavy duty jobs.  For information about this type of clothing, click on the above link and look around.

Medicaid

We have had to make up the difference in financial assistance at the nursing home where my parents are living.  It took awhile to get them completely covered for their medical needs. Now, they have full coverage, but before we got it for them, a large bill was run up on their needs and it's something that didn't get taken care of properly.  We still have to pay on it for another year or so.

Clamps

 Working in a warehouse many times in my life I found the need for a  band clamp  to control and support my work.  I know that there are parts stores where things can be obtained.  You also have to shop at exclusive places for certain items.  Click on the above link to get more information.

We Are Sad

The recent event which cause many lives to be taken and a numerous amount of people injured is beyond our understanding.  We feel that this could have happened here where we live as it did in the other state.  Seeing how the young man is acting gives me goose bumps, because if the demeanor.  Either he was drugged and maintained a strike force attack because of certain other aspects unknown, or he actually lost it.  Our condolences to the families and friends who have been affected by the rampage.

Veiwing Art

I've often thought of how much time goes into drawing and making the beautiful paintings we are allowed to see in museums.  It's amazing the way these people blend the artist paint  to cause certain colors and scenes.  I tried my hand at this one time and realized the expense plus the efforts involved to start such an endeavor.  As with many of my artistic trials, I soon became disinterested, because of the time it took to develop such beauty.

School

The days are back upon youngsters as they go to enroll for their new school year.  Many are ready to get back and see their classmates to hear all the summer stories.  Others are ready to show off their new clothes to their friends and teachers.  This is a bad time for parents, because of the expense involved in clothing these children.

Peace

"Today, may there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you
 are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of
 faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and
 pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself
 just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your
 soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and
 every one of us."

A Party

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right.
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight..

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece.
I never knew what was coming, Mom,
Something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry...
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high.
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven,
Put ' Mommy's Girl' on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter,
Mom I'm getting really scared
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die..
I wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mom!'
So I love you and good - bye.
