Shelley from Ballston NY, USA

Don't worry about talking to yourself. Just as long as you don't get into an argument!

Shelley, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. You are in my thoughts and prayers. You will always have her in your heart with your memories. Have a safe trip. Take care!

Shelly,
My deepest condolences to you and your family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers – may you find peace and love in the memories you cherish.

Shelley, was sorry to read about your grandmother. I was told once that as long as you remember someone you love, they are never truly gone. Take care.

Shelley and all of your grandmother's family, this note comes to you with sympathy. Travel safely.

shelley~~~ my condolences to you and yours at this time. travel carefully! i am liting a candle for you.

Dear Shelley, please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your grandmother. I hope she lived a long, fulfilling and happy life.

Thank you for the Birthday Wishes last week. I had dinner with Mom that evening. She then flew up to Portland, OR for a Class Reunion (68th) and flew back for the wedding on Saturday of her only grand-nephew (my cousin’s son – 41, first marriage). Mom (85) refused to take a nap after getting up at 3 am for the flight back and insisted on driving (through Los Angeles to Orange County) for the wedding – she still drives fast. By the time we got to there we were not speaking & the drive back was even worse – getting home around midnight. The wedding & reception was wonderful (so was the beach party the night before, which Mom had missed). Dad always said the reason we fight, was because we are so much alike – both strong willed women. But, we will always love each other. I left Tuesday, had a meeting in No. Calif. Wednesday afternoon, and decided to camp at Burney Falls State Park – making my dog happy, before returning home. The back is still bothering me – but no violent pains – more of the gnawing variety and when standing up after sitting too long (so there were a lot of stops on the way down and on the way home). Thanks for the good wishes – I’m safe if not sound.

Howdy, Shelley! Thanks for stopping by my page! Your girls look about as spoiled as mine are. And yes, I love the Harry Potter series and have read the entire series twice now since July. Lately I've been floating around some of the discussion boards reading up on theories so maybe I'll get even more out of my next read! Hope you enjoy the last 2 when you get to them. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

shelley~~~thanks for your well wishes on my page yesterday. feeling much better today after a very long weekend. hope you have a good day!

Hi Shelly. I had meant to stop in a while back but I got side-tracked somehow. I was sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing, and I hope things are a little less stressful now. Hope you and yours are coping and staying positive.

Shelley, here I am for my first visit, to thank you for your kind thoughts about my mother, only to learn you've recently lost your grandmother. I'm so sorry. I'm feeling pretty weepy so won't stay here long. I had a good visit with my mom yesterday, then sobbed during the hour-long drive home. I'll go back again today. These are dark, rotten days so knowing that others care truly does a person's heart good. Thanks for being in my corner. Bless you.

Howdy, Shelley! Yes! You must read Books 6 & 7 of Harry Potter! And yes, I have read them all twice since July. And everytime I find something else in them that I missed the time before!
I was only in California for a week visiting my sister, but we had a lot of fun. Monterey is absolutely beautiful! We also went to San Francisco, which could easily be a week-long trip by itself. California was okay, definitely different from Texas. But the traffic was way too crazy for me, and I really missed all the friendly people we have at home. But I guess "seeing the world" is about seeing all sorts of different things, not just the same old experience at a different longitude and latitude! Hope you get a chance to head out there some day!

Hi Shelley, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you. My mind's been whirling--Mom continues to amaze with her determination to get well, despite some lousy setbacks at the hospital. In moving her from floor to floor, they've somehow stopped her physical and speech therapy. I'm returning tomorrow with my list of questions and will be ready to raise hell. Meanwhile, the poor thing only weighs 89 pounds, so I suspect there's more going on medically than just a stroke. But we remain upbeat and cheery for our visits, and I keep my distance from my older siblings who, in the face of adversity, seem curiously busy elsewhere. Thank goodness for the kindess of people like you to buoy me up and keep my motor humming. You're a gem and a half!

Thank you Shelly, I appreciate your thoughts and prayers, it is hard but we all know she is better off now and waiting for us over Rainbow Bridge.

Shelley, just dropping by with big canine kisses for Sky and Kala. What lovely, faithful friends they must be. A heartfelt thank you for your continued kind words; last night's visit with mom was the toughest yet--she recognized us and stroked my hand, but I could sense her frustration at not being able to do more than that. Catheter, oxygen--there are tubes everywhere. The next 24 hours will tell whether she pulls out of her current state; if not, we simply wait and see how long she'll carry on as she is. A wretched thing, this, and my grip on my emotions is waning. Still, in all, I'm so lucky to have her for my mom and am grateful for whatever time God gives us with her. I'm grateful, too, for caring people like you--you've no idea how a few words can sustain me at a time like this. Bless you and yours.

Gday Shelley, I haven't seen you around lately so I thought I'd pop in to see how you are. Hope this note finds you and yours well.
Drop into easy page sometime and say gday.

Now I know why I don't like 'cold case'. Tho I must say I like it better then csi miamie.

Hello Shelley - you have some lovely holiday photos in Flickr, especially the ones of Bath, a place I loved. I have a cousin who lives there. I also have a lare jigsaw puzzle of Pultney Bridge.

Hi Shelley -- I am originally from Stillwater, NY, my in-laws live in Saratoga, so we are back every year. I just love the Adirondacks! We had a place near Gore Mt. Ski Center. I had a Maine Coon Cat named Sky. Your dogs are beautiful!

Thanks, Shelley, for the visit, the flowers and the kind thoughts. These are tough days indeed, and I seem to be wandering around, looking for mom everywhere. Around the middle of my page six, I've included an abbreviated version of the eulogy I wrote for her vigil service, if you're interested in getting acquainted with mom a little. It was so nice you took time to keep us in your thoughts, and it's friendly, caring people like you who've been mountains of support through this. I'm so grateful, and am sending a warm hug your way.

Wishing you and your family a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! Hope your day reminds you of all of the wonderful things we have for which to be thankful!

Shelly, wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Shelley, Just stopping by to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Make yourself at home, pull up a chair and fix yourself a plate. If dessert is what you have in mind I just happen to have a strawberry rhubarb pie and vanilla ice cream to satisfy that desire.

Gday Shelley, just passing, thought I'd drop in! I have been in a similar situation as you when you had the hit and run. It makes my blood boil when I hear about this sort of thing. In my case, it was an act of vandalism! Some gutless wonder apparently got their rocks off by smashing random mirrors! I was lucky enough that the dear old gent that lived across the road at the time, knew someone that knew someone so it was able to be fixed in a day, very cheaply. But that's not the point!
Anyhoo, out with the bad thoughts and in with the good. Here is a bunch of roses from my page. They are looking particularly spectacular at the mo and the scent is heavenly.
Have a great day,
Gail

Thanks for responding to my question, Shelley. I'll bet that you and Stella have run into each other and don't even know it! While here, I enjoyed my journey through your Flickr photos ... lovely! Have a joyous Christmas sseason.

Merry Christmas friends and welcome. Wishing you all a wonderful funfilled stress free day with your friends and family.

Thanks, Shelley, for your comments on digital cameras. Canon seems to be the favorite brand, but I will look into the Kodak. I like the idea of having a "pocket" camera. Thanks!!!
