Back from Vacation

Oh boy, getting back on the ol' horse isn't so easy.

But what a trip! Man! We drove from Alabama all the way to Maine and back with six kids, a dog, a cat, a guinea pig AND a fish. Amazingly enough, we all made it back home alive. Making Memories. Making Memories.

The whole trip wrapped itself around my parents, my dad in particular. He was diagnosed with rectal cancer and under went a tough regimen of both chemo and radiation. He faired the treatments without quitting although he wanted to often and real bad. I thank God for my mother and her strength to keep Dad going. It took their team of two to get thru that. Next is the surgery. Now that's another big deal that none of us are truly ready for. We just know that its the right thing to do and that it will be the answer for him to continue to live out his life long and healthy.

As we were in Maine visiting, we stayed with both sets of parents with equal time shared and have a wonderful chance to have the kids play and get to really know their grandparents better. It is important. Their grandfather, even though healing from treatments, still found the energy to don balloon hats and play croquet with the grandkids.

Making Memories. (I love that new Bon Jovi song that sings that...)

I continued to get onto the internet whenever possible. Reception wasn't always available. My husband and I had to sit outside the public library and use our wireless, one day. But I did get to take care of business on line from time to time. That's all that is really required with Big Ticket To Wealth. Once you get it all set up and running, it is very self sufficient. I love that! But its fun, too, to always be tweaking and blogging. And of course, this trip will be tax deductable as well. At least a percentage of it anyway.

And on to another week. I will be back!!

p.s. here's a neat little saying that I seemed to have retained: Worrying is like a rocking chair~It gives you something to do, but gets you no where.
