Hi. Just dropping in and read this blog area a little.

I had that trigger finger happen a few times, then It disappeared. I'm not sure what causes it what makes it go away, but it was painful and scary.

Sorry about the finger Don. At least you guys are heading to Summer and walking will be more pleasant. Got to look on the bright side.

Well Don for me it is a great blessing that we do not know how long we have on the planet. The alternative would be far worse. I agree with you that our lives are a succession of paragraphs and soundbites.

I have a fellow cadet living in Tennessee and he says it is very hot there currently. We are approaching midwinter here.

Well no news is good news! I am sorry I got your name wrong Don. Not sure what happened but I must have had a brain fade.

What I use to love about the high desert is the view looking west while the sun is setting. I, one day, discovered that on a nice day I could sit out there covered by my garage and look across the field toward the western mountains. I had an old winged back chair,plus have a cup of coffee. I'd read til it got too dark. Then I'd watch the sunset. It was always interesting as the sunset creating interesting shadows on the mountain side first and later it became a a silhouette.

The heat during the day was often too hot to do anything outside, my mini truck didn't have air conditioning. We use to each (two of us) have spray bottles to mist ourselves if it got too bad while out and about.

Ah Needles. I've been there. I use to drive to see a nephew. He lived in a little town not too far from Bullhead City. He ran the pizza place. Not sure if it was Dominos it that other popular one. Now he's just north of Kingman in Golden Valley.

In response to "Making A Day Of It"

Hi I was getting bored in my own blog and decided to find other people's blogs.

I use to live in Hesperia. Am quite familiar with the area and therabouts. I stopped by there about two years ago and was a bit stressed because the traffic was horrible. The shopping was non stop up the main street and they had construction going in besides.

We shopped at the Walmart by the freeway and killed time before going over Cajon Pass. The heat if the day had cooled off.

Hey Bill yes it is good occasionally to cast a glance over the shoulder. For better or worse time marches on steadily and we have to adapt. 100 years ago I would be in a wheelchair pre hip replacements! I am glad you are back posting.

One Step

Still trying to take care of business and get life back to normal, my normal. There are issues I'm working through and doing my best to get our life back on an even keel. It's getting there but it is a slow process and it's hard for a person who wants everything done NOW!

I'm hoping to get back too blogging daily, but like everything else it's a slow process when you haven't figured out where to start. I need to take our car in and have the electrical checked out and I wants the brakes checked. We bought a 85" TV and they will be here on Thursday to install it, and then on the 23rd we're changing from a king size bed to two singles extra long. Trying to lift the mattress on the king size bed was becoming a problem for my wife and I.

It takes time and I keep telling myself I'm in no hurry. So if I don't write anything down in the blog for several days it's ok!

Life is Good and God is Great

Turmoil

I thought my life would calm down after my mom passed, but that hasn't happened, at least not yet. First I had to come to grips with my mothers passing, then we had to go down and clean out her room. I had my wife and two daughters along with my granddaughter to help me. They took care of everything and I was just window dressing. The funeral was next and I needed to make sure everything was in order, at the Funeral Home and Cemetery. When I started looking into splitting the Estate, my brother wanted to let his portion pass to his kids with out him touching the money. It doesn't work that way, so we are now in process of splitting it up.

My over all health has been fair, considering the stress I put myself under. The doctor had me start the Eliquis again and I started bleeding again. So he took me off the aspirin and Eliquis and I see the doctor again on Tuesday. I don't feel bad and I've begun walking a mile and 1/2 daily. I do seem to have issue with my going to the bathroom. What I've experienced the last few weeks is not normal for me.

I went to Church today and the sermon was about Worrying Too Much. We try to make a plan and then ask God to go along with our plan. We need to let go, and let God make the decisions on how your life plays out. The Sermon certainly hit a cord with me. I need to remind myself to keep God in the forefront of my life.

One step at a time, one day at time.

Life Is Good - God Bless
