Hold your breath and cross your fingers!

I arrived home after a great wedding and family time to the news that we had an offer on the rent house.   I could not believe my ears.  I have had it on the market for one week.   Kara, my realtor, came this morning and brought me the offer and we made a counter offer which I signed.  Now I have to wait until tomorrow night at 5:00 to see if he takes my counter -offer.  I am getting excited to think of the implications for the possibility --no more paying insurance, having the yard cut, paying the utilities.  Wow!  Let me get out from under the burden of my unselfish, stupid act..

So I have gotten in and worked like sixty on all my stuff.  Talked to my niece, Leigh, and told her all about the wedding.  She gets into stuff like this.   So does Sara who made me buy all kinds of stuff to show the house to its best.

So I will wait and hope.  God, you have been good to me these last days!   I'm not saying or implying that I deserve it;  I'm just saying, it feels good!

And Shad Burner, you sold me the house as I demanded.  You and Kara and I will go out for drinks and celebrate when it actually happens!   I feel like the shackles are coming off!

More wedding scenes

I am home recovering!

The wedding -a done deal !

It is over!  It was worth it to see Sara and Colin do the mother -son dance!  Loved seeing it all!  My cell phone ran out of battery as did my body!

What a day !

Driving to Cincy, going to a wonderful dinner, seeing Colin and Adrienne and their friends, sucking up wine and now back in bed in hotel!    I'm beat !

It's a case of friendship!

I went out to River Campus to eat lunch with Evelyn Boardman today!  We are kindred spirits:  she visits Jennie each week, and she is huge Democrat:  if u are her friend, u r her friend!   We like each other and our company!   It's nice to be together every time!

She says Jennie is not ready to give up the ghost but Hospice is not going to come forever.

Tired of Closed mindedness!

First, I am tired of watching the George Zimmerman trial this morning and it's on every channel.  I have made up my mind that he is a big scaredy-cat white guy who likes authority and dislikes people who "don't know their place".   He aimed to teach that punk his place that night because he had the weapon.   So, whatever the court says, I'm stuck with that opinion until they show me otherwise.  And I'm forced to look at a lot of the evidence because nothing else is on.

So I flip through to the remaining channels --athletics and conservative religion.   Not into either one.   I see a program this morning about a black conservative preacher who announced, "One of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote."  You got some nerve, preacher man!   And you don't think half the country would say the same about the civil rights fight  --did you see the decision last week that the Supreme Court handed down!    But you got your vote and now you think another group should be denied their vote!  You have some nerve non-preacher man!  Did anyone ordain you or did you take up your mantel on your own!

I'm hot.   But I'm guilty too!   I never let the television stop on any religious program of any kind--I don't care what women preachers say about how God spoke only to them --by the way, I know for a fact that he did not and does not speak only to them.   I won't even watch shows where preachers who will not admit that they are the most conservative Republicans in the world parade out their supposed holiness.   I have the solution for these "phonies"--my name for them.  Change the "Tea Party" slogan to "Whiskey Party" and they will jump off the bandwagon immediately  --hey, this might hurt my image of holiness.  Not as bad as it is already hurt in my mind, Unholy Joe.

Okay, I am done with the preaching!

Cancer, is it geographical ?

Circumstances and heresay run together!  I have two good friends, joy Brewer who paints my house, and Dr David Crowe , who just recently met up with Mark Stacy at Duke University, who have the same deadly cancer and (Pictured is David's photography) they live and work just houses from each other!  It's the talk in circles of my friendship !    Duke is supposed to be studying it!  If it's true, there goes a neighborhood and fast!
