Where Do I Start?

It has been over a week since I've did any blogging. Company has come and gone and I'm trying to find energy to get things put back together. We took in Medieval Times and had to tell the waiter the place they put us, since we had handicaps people with us, was not acceptable. He did accommodate us though. See we had three handicap people and then one young person (19), then my husband who is over 70 and my self who is just under that age. Whew I'm getting tired all over again just mentioning it. This was my husband's brother, his wife and granddaughter they have raised and his sister. My brother in law is on oxigen, his wife has had a stroke so they definitely need assistance and my husband's sister just has to walk slow. Can you imagine/vision us going to Disneyland too? We finally got on the tram; however, there is a great distance you have to walk (I did get a handicap parking next to the elevator on the 5th floor of the parking structure) to the entrance of "good old Disneyland." We had to go to plan "b" which was my niece and I along with my slow walking sister in law (she really is game for anything) checked in and went to the stroller/wheelchair rentals. We rented 3 of them (slow sister in law sat in hers and waited for us) while we went and "collected" the other two and put them in the wheel chair. Then on to the great Disney amusement park. Most of the rides do accommodate handicap people. I have said all of that to let you know why I just haven't been "blogging." Us ladies did do some shopping and had fun. The last day they were here we went to Downtown Disney for them to get souvenirs. They left that evening had a lay over in Phoenix and then was to go on their destination Abq NM; however, because of bad weather they had to layover till 3 pm the next day. But they did all make it home safely. All said and done we were glad to see them come as I'm sure they will not be able to do this again. Time marches on and this is what happens when you live away from family and someone becomes ill. So we do thank the Lord for this precious time together. They have already lost two of their sibblings.

Could "post" a lot more, but believe I'll just wait till the next time, perhaps tomorrow.

However, may I say if you are young be greatful for each time you get with precious family and friends. If you have reached being a senior citizen really charish all the times you can visit with your family and friends. I'm so greatful for the computer where I can do the "instant messaging" with my sibblings. Doesn't seem so long in between not "seeing" them.

May you all have a great week.

Wow, it made me tired just reading about all you did!
I have missed you on the blogispere and in person. Yesterday we just didn't get enough time to visit and catch up. I'm glad to see you're not nerdy, either. What was your score? Okay, we're going to have to have another blogging lesson so you can put some stuff on your sidebar, too. Have some other stuff to chat about, but will do it either in person or on IM.
Later, :-) #2P

Yes I do need more lessons in expanding my "knowledge" of blogging. Would rather do it in person...Really more fun too.
