Well it's been some time since I posted an update - so - I have been laying a bit low - so to speak - since the five month mark of Cpatain Nemo's passing away - and this Memorial Day hit me especially hard - I guess, due to the timing of said fifth month. - I was in a real depression there for quite a while - although I would check in here on Tblog, I just didn't have a whole lot to say. - Kiddo had a homeschool test and got "excellent grades" and was over the moon with the review she received from the school that we use! - Handwriting is neater, grades are better, more confidence - all good! ( I'm thrilled too :) ) - also got to visit the old school kiddo attended - (Teacher invited us to come for a book club and to see everyone before the end of the year) - hope to also go back on their last day - Family visiting has been really nice. now there's an extended stay, and we'll have more time to fit more in! Had a family gathering here for Memorial Day - it was nice. cooked out on the Grill - Grilled chicken ( marinate in 1 cup of 7-up, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 2 tbsp of veg. oil - marinate over night and grill-er up! - Also had round-steaks and tube-steaks *(read; hamburgers and hot dogs), with all the fixin's, plus, potato salad, chips, pretzles, salsa, deviled eggs, and Me Mum's killer beans! YUMMO ( and yes they are killer!!!! - LOOK-OUT!) - also the big move gets in gear fer reals this weekend - Captain Flint and family had started bringing things to Mum and Dad's already, but will actually be moving in this weekend - or so the plan goes, as I'm told. Our oldest Kiddo has 25th Birthday this weekend - he's going away with his new wife for a little Birthday get-a-way. Should be nice. For us, it's movie night tomorow night as family comes over to spend time. I have a huge ham in the freezer that I need to start thawing tonight for tomorrow nights din-din! OI!
I guess that's it for now - or at least some of the highlights. - Hope everyone else has been well, and had a wonderful weekend! :)

Here is a link to see the whole story that was on air just last night - It made me think of my Dad, and cry - There are many who have fought, and are fighting this terrible disease, and many inspiring stories - Farrah's Story has inspired me - I hope you will watch it, and be inspired too -

Been Taking some time out - feeling a bit lost and unsure - don't get as many comments here anymore, and recent comments have me a bit puzzled - maybe it's just me and my state of mind right now - given all that is going on in my little world right now - guess that makes sence - or does it? - maybe I'm just reading things wrong - wouldn't be the first time - ha - oh well - life's been a ittle crazy as of late - wanting to be there for Mom and needed to get things done here - first set of testing finally done for homeschooling - glad to have that finally under our belts - realatives coming next week and also two more in the fall - looking forward to that - but still will be an emotional time of course - kinda wish I could take a vacation right about now - might look into a day-trip type of vacay - (?) - might be just the ticket - The Beach sounds good right about now - Worried about Captain Hook too - (My Hubby) - is sick and has to let it play out - it's really got him down for the count - I don't know - life is just weird - strange things happen at strange times it seems like somtimes - and sometimes you find out why later on down the road - but somtimes - you don't -

Well, it's been "hurry-up and wait' recently. Captian Flint and his crew be moving in with me Mum - which is good, but, that means Mum is having to go through things (read Captain Nemo's things, as well as everything they have gathered together for the last 50 years), alot quicker than one would like or is reccomended to. - *You hear quite frequently, that "you should wait a year after losing a loved one, before you make any major decisions". - - Now, granted, Mum really could use the company. She's lonley, (of course), and even morso, being she be a people person. And I get why Captian Flint and his crew be movin in and/or wanting to be moving in so quickly, (yes we ALL visit with Mum very often, but it's still hard for her - of course), but at the same time, it forces Mum to go through things at a much quicker pace than she had wanted - or, that quite frankly, - is good for her. I hate to see her rush through going through any of their belongings, and especially ones that are his - she's had to go through his personal belongings rather quickly, and everything has become even more overwhelming than it is - or even would be, in the first place. and the whole house is a wreck - *sigh* - guess it's like alot of things in life, it's a "catch 22" of sorts -

| Common Sense approach about the "swine flu" - |
| 05.05.09 (10:50 am) [edit] |
|
Given what's going on in our world with the recent flu that is going around, it is not for us to panic, but it IS something we need to be smart about - Common sence goes a long way -
Common Sense Precautions Include:
*Wash your hands often, especially after coughing, sneezing, and wiping or blowing the nose.
*Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing.
*Use paper tissues when wiping or blowing your nose; throw tissues away after use.
*Stay away from crowded living and sleeping spaces, if possible.
*Stay home and avoid contact with other people to protect them from catching your illness.

Fer the love of Captain Nemo -
Well, this Wednesday we, ( me Mum, me brother Captain Flint, and I) are meeting with someone, and we'll be picking out a headstone fer Captain Nemo - I'm feeling mixed about it - It really needs te be done, Captain Nemo passed last Dec. 12, but I don't think that he or Mum were as prepared as we thought. - I am a little surprised at that, bein' that he and Mum were always pretty prepared for important things like that - so, well, yeah - while it is good that it's being done, it's still going to be one of the hardest days of our lives. - not sure what all te expect - I guess just to be supportive of Mum - and yes, it will be a joint marker fer both of them - so ....
* Fer those not familiar with me blog or me story - I have used fake names ( as do most folk), fer talkin' ' bout the people in me life, - Captain Nemo be me dearly departed Dad - -
