I went out for Thanksgiving. I went home, my childhood home. I haven’t been there again in years. We certainly didn’t know if I could last in a wheelchair for the duration of dinner. To complicate matters I needed to use my hooveround, not my main wheelchair, because the ramps are fitted according to that wheelchair. It didn’t matter I did really well. I sat through all of dinner. I sat at the table with my family. I was very…
What a week. I am stuffed. I can do naked and afraid for the full 21 days and not have to worry about food. I feel like I just ate for a week straight. My birthday Monday,, our celebration bday dinner Wednesday and Thanksgiving Thursday. So much food. I should never complain. I wish everyone could go to sleep with a full stomach. I am so thankful for my overstuffed belly and for the family that surrounded the tables. Today…
Happy Thanksgiving!!! I had this wonderful idea of what I was going to post today, but activities of my early morning took over my headlines. It was roughly 4:00am, we, Zoey,Minx and myself, were all sleeping soundly when all of a sudden…. Minx immediately starts barking. I wake up rattled. Zoey is up running on the bed from one side to the other. What a way to wake up. You have no clue what just happened. There were no lights…
I’m sitting in my sister’s living room contemplating what I wanted to say this morning. I wanted to show a picture of her beautiful backyard and maybe say some of the difficulties and things that worked being in my wheelchair for the first time at her place. I rolled over to take this beautiful backyard picture and when I turned to the front of the house I saw this Wild Turkeys just walking down her adjacent neighbors driveway into her…
I hope everyone had a yummy feast yesterday. I had a very nice dinner with my mom, stepdad, sister, brother in law and my daughter. We were a small group but still shared many laughs and lots of love. There were a few things I found humerus because you have to laugh when you have MS: It was the first time I was using the ramp at my mom and stepdads home. There are three ramps in all and the…
Thanksgiving is here again. It’s time for family traditions of certain dishes made once a year with an extremely large turkey that is never eaten and always consumed for at least three days after today. My family all contribute a dish. I always make my carrot soufflé which I’ve learned to make for every single diet I am following. https://multipleexperiences.org/2018/03/16/carrot-souffle-vegan-or-non-vegan/. My mom makes a corn soufflé and the stuffing. My sister makes the soup and sometimes brings a vegetable. We…
Too much food. Too much pie. A whole bunch of smiles. I would never complain it was worth every calorie consumed. I had a really great birthday and felt love from my family all over and from Facebook friends and fundraiser supporters. My beautiful daughter spent the entire day with me and after the food fest we watched A Star is Born on my Firestick program my friend set up for me. I get so much with the Firestick. Thank…
It’s my birthday and it falls on the day to be thankful this year. I have so much to be thankful for despite having multiple sclerosis because there is so much good in my life. I’m thankful for my ex-husband because in meeting him and falling in love, we produced my daughter. I’m thankful for my daughter. My world and my younger counterpart. The best present I ever received. My beautiful girl who has grown up to be a very…
The chill is in the air. I have officially put my summer shorts away. I’m changing the comforter on my bed. I am so happy it’s fall. This is my favorite time of year. I love watching the leaves turn. I love Halloween and especially Thanksgiving. My birthday is on Thanksgiving this year. I love breaking out my oversized sweatshirts and sweaters. I love being bundled up under a blanket on the couch with my dogs. Now I have my…
Happy Thanksgiving for those in the US. We have a tradition, started by my sister, that we go around the table to say what we are thankful for each year. This year I decided to blog my list. My daughter. She is and will always be the center of my world. She is the gift I get to keep watching evolve each year and change and become the beautiful picture she is today. She is my proudest moment in any…
