Spring's around the corner

Last year close to this time I started my quest for Bluebirds and it was a failure.  I hope to try again and really get some this year.

I've been looking at the history of the blog and there's been alomst 35,000 views from the begining ( I didn't have a counter in the beginging) and over 500 last month.  Here's what I think.  The statisics let me believe there will be more and more widows as the baby bombers get older.  I'm just in the begining of the trend or curve.  And my experience has potential to effect or impress more and more again "singles" in the future.  Kinda sobering.  But, I'm a optimist and hope that increaing numbers will mean more support and wisdom.  There's hope for life to continue...

Forgot to mention

In February I renewed the yearly cage donation at Humane Society of Southwestern Michigan in honor of Dave Maki's PLG Friends.  He would be happy that we are helping animals.  Lots of projects coming together that I'll be able to talk about more soon.  It's exciting stuff!

The hospital I work at went live with computer charting today.  I'm going in for a few hours over the weekend to make sure I can chart and get around.  Hoping that will make Monday a little easier.

I'm going to Czar's tonight to meet up with some of Dave and my friends..... I haven't been there in such a long time.  I just remember how Dave thought of the whole "crew" and regulars as his family.  It will be good to visit.

February is Ending Soon

2010-  We went to eat at the Friendly in Coloma and saw my friend Keri waiting on tables.  We also went to an Admirals game at LMC (highschool).  Then we learned that Dr. Lester was retiring and we'd have to change doctors (I cried some).  Who could forget that Nikki cut her feet in the back yard when we went exploring in the snow?  Best we could figure out there was some broken glass she stepped on.  For sure it was 2 of her feet, but seems like it could have been all four?

2011- I went to North Carolina for a WOCNCB committee meeting.  It was good to get away and I hadn't been to a committee meeting for about 1 1/2 years.  Our next meeting is in April.

Another evening at Lory's Place tonight.  And I get emails everyday from Match.com.  How do they know I'm single?  Oh, did I say that...I'm single.  hmmmmm  I haven't really seen many of the Oscar nominated films this year.  Seemed to be lots of dying, death and left over families.  I think living beside cancer and death was enough for me for awhile.

And Winter is Here

So much snow...it's kinda strange.  And I had to shovel the drive and walkways.

2010-  Dave had grown back some hair and was trying to get me to think that figure skating was no longer on TV.  He also started using CPAP.

2011- Snow!  There was snow in the beginning of February last year to.  And there was the Super Bowl last year with Green Bay playing.

Hopefully this weekend most of the X-mas stuff will be put away.  Last weekend I worked on it but then ran across a box of Dave's things his mother had given him years ago.  Lot of boyscout stuff, high school programs, baby teeth and old concert ticket stubs.  It was so fun to go through and I took it to the Maki's super bowl party.

Last Tuesday I went to Lori's Place for the 3rd time.  We watched the movie "UP".  I had never seen it and I'd recommend it.  A widower tries to hold on to everything old in his life and then starts an adventure his wife had always talked about.  New friendships develop over the story, but he's not taken in at first.  In the end he chooses his home over saving one of these new friends and my heart just sank.  Then he gets another chance and does the right thing.  That was the message I took away.  I can make mistakes and I'll get another chance.  Please forgive me....
