This and That

It's been awhile I know. I just haven't had luck getting my words out right lately. I did an interview with a young student yesterday from UGA for a journalism class that she was doing. I did awful -- I didn't even make sense most of the time. I guess it will give her a chance to use her editing skills. I knew exactly what I wanted to say, but couldn't get it to come out the way I wanted it to.

Since I last wrote, Ralph was in St. Louis for almost a week for a family funeral. It was nice to have the house to myself. Alan and Jennifer visited Jen's sister Christine in Chicago over the MLK weekend, and they also got to visit with my friends the Atterberrys. I went to Alabama for a women's basketball game and am going to South Carolina this week for another women's game.

Thanks to all that have commented lately -- it's interesting to see what people have on their minds. Thanks to to Barry Petersen for making my friend Suzanne a very happy lady! You made her day.

I'm having a partial knee replacement done next month. Not looking forward to it -- more on that later.

I'm sorry to hear your words don't come out the way you want them to...

My mother-in-law had both her knees partially replaced, and she's doing real fine! Good Luck Kris, I'll cross my fingers!!

I have recently created a blog about the passing of my grandpa to Alzheimer's disease. I am hoping that more people visit the site and comment. Every penny I earn there will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association to aid research and support groups. Please visit http://www.deargrandpa1.blogspot.com/

I, also have Alz. I was diagosed when I was 61, I'm 63 now. I did email you. You've given me so much hope! I do hate that you're losing the verbal communication skill! But I'm glad that you have the blog, and I find this form of communication better, anyway, don't you? My mom also had Alz., and back in that day it was before Reagan came out. My stepdad didn't even tell their friends that Mom had it. They all just thought she was a nut! (Her best friend had passed.). Our family has been very open about it, and I tell them if I'm having a new problem. I do find a word here and there that has nothing to do with what I was writing when I proofread, but at least I still see those! lol! I'm so glad to have found your blog! Chris
