About Me

My Photo
DFW metro, Texas, United States
I was born in Dallas, Tx and other than living in California a couple of times, I have always lived in Tx. I am married to a wonderful man, MJ. I have two great daughters, Dee and Melanie. And two grandsons, Dylan and Tyler, who I love to have come visit. MJ has a great son Shaun who lives in Indiana, married to Julie and has our only granddaughter, at the moment, Kennah. I have 2 dogs. Max is a 105 lb English Lab, and Bear is a 13 yr old Min. Poodle. I like to work in the yard. I now have around 69 rose bushes in my back yard. 39 are miniature. I had more but lost some. The largest is a climber that is about 12 ft high x 18ft wide Seven Sisters Rose. It only blooms once a year in the spring, but it's worth it.

A leg to stand on.

My leg problem is still on going. Today is one (1) month since it became swollen. After a Doppler MRI showing no blockage, therefore no blood clot, we have been treating it as a sprain. I spent a week with it elevated and staying off of it as much as possible. Better, but not best. But when I started walking on it again, it began to hurt and swell again. Now I am on a anti-inflammatory twice a day for two weeks. It's been a week and I went to the store yesterday without my ankle brace and it started hurting last night. This is really puzzling. It appears it does well as long as I don't walk on it. Not good. (I told my Doc that I thought my husband was putting something in the water to keep me from shopping, but it back fired, I can't clean either!)

MJ was off yesterday and drove me around town taking shots of old houses, but other than that I am not able to take many photographs lately. I am a member of a photography forum PB Phoenix and I have had to complete stay away. Members are shooting so many great shots. It made me want to get out and start shooting. I stopped by yesterday, lots of new people. Too much to catch up on. They haven't noticed I'm gone and until this leg thing is solved, I guess that's best.

The Cad transmission got rebuilt. Running so much better. Now if MJ can just fix the blinker lights! They have a mind of their own. I'm banking on this being a classic some day and passing it down to Dylan or Tyler.

My Crape Myrtle are blooming and gorgeous. I can see them out my office window.

Okay, I couldn't stand it so I hobbled out and took a shot.

I have been working on "Pages" for different relatives at Footnote.com. To view go to the link below. Keeps me off the streets. By sitting here at my desk with my leg on an ottoman and my keyboard and screen pulled up close, I can work. I want to work on one for my 1st husband's grandfather George Birdwell. He robbed banks with Pretty Boy Floyd and was shot robbing one in Oklahoma. So watch for that one.
