I Remember Judy - Part Eleven

The Countdown Begins I had given Judy complete control over all the wedding plans and the wedding date. I told her that all I wanted was a week’s notice to be sure I could get my suit cleaned and time off for the honeymoon. It wasn’t until Christmas dinner at her parents’ house that I was told that...

Good morning. I have another trip to Valdosta on my early agenda to see the surgeon who has been removing the cancer tumors from my face, neck, and shoulders... all from getting sunburned as a kid working on the farm without a hat and frequently without a shirt. Tell your kids and grandkids to wear... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Part Ten

Merry Christmas, You May Marry My Daughter! By the time Christmas rolled around, Judy's mom had walked back her words and gave her blessing for us to be married. I had suspected that would happen, but the one thing my father had cautioned me about when I talked to him about what had happened was to... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. Another typical day... calls... emails that need to be answered... the work crew working on the bedroom where our friend who lived with us in the UP of Michigan is going to move down here to stay for as long as he wants to stay... and a couple of clowns who keep sending me text...

I Remember Judy - Part Nine

Heading Down The Aisle? After that night, things just flew by at a pace that astounded me. All of Judy's co-workers were almost as excited as she was, and I think a couple of them were even more excited. Word spread faster than a dry-season fire, and everywhere I went, someone was congratulating me.... Sign in to see full entry.

I'd say "Good morning" if it had been one... but... it hasn't been. My doctor's office has called me about my attempt to have a DBS (Deep Brain Surgery) to slow or eliminate symptoms of Parkinson's. I've been taking the Carbidopa/Levodopa medication for close to three years, and it has been a... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Part Eight

The Setup It was Steve’s turn to cook dinner, and he was busy getting things around. I set the table and then finished the paperwork for the last run we had made. “Well, maybe we could have the girls over here on one of the nights they are off, and we are working. I’ve been thinking about how I... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Morning!

Good morning. After another chilly night, it is slowly climbing back into respectable temps. It's an unusually quiet day in the neighborhood this morning. That doesn't happen that often, so soon, I'll be heading out to sit under the trees with Lisa and the dogs. I never know what we will talk about,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Part Seven

Just Another Summer Night There came a night that, for various and obvious reasons, I will remember until I am no longer capable of doing so. It was very late August, closing in on Labor Day weekend, and we had a single night off together. I had been telling Judy about the Perseid meteor shower,... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. The day started cold at 48, but it is slowly climbing. It's currently 75. I didn't get around to editing the next ~3500 words of "I Remember Judy" yesterday that I will post here today, so I had to do that first this morning... add in four calls and three people at the door, it has...
