And it sux. I need glasses. I can't even read the Info on the TV from 10 feet away.

My photos aren't crisp any more. Just can't tell until they are up on the computer screen. And by then, the Kodak Moment is long gone.

So apologies for the bad photography. It will improve, I promise.

Besides that, I'm having an allergy attack extraordinaire. Been living off of Benadryl and my inhaler for my asthma. I think I'm on the way back to pre-attack mode again. Yay!

Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season.

When Jamie died suddenly in 2000, we didn't hesitate to sign papers for her organs and tissues to be donated. She had a rare blood type (AB- ) and because of that only had one organ donation. Her kidneys went to a man in Hawaii that was dying of renal failure. He had been on the donor list for 4½ years. The same age that Jamie was when she passed! He sends Christmas cards every year, and every year we've received a teddy bear from him. He now lives in Japan and is happy and healthy and living his life to the fullest. Knowing that her death wasn't in vain... that by her passing, she was able to give the gift of life to another person... that is precious and invaluable to me. Her kidney recipient lives in Japan now. His name is Hiro. And I wish him many more years of a healthy and happy life.

I'm back! My son has a laptop and I can get online! Whee! Went to the pumpkin patch with a couple of my grandbabies and took some pictures. It's been a while. Didn't want to take pictures because I couldn't take them off the card afterwards.

Feels good. Real good!

Hope everybody is doing well!

I will be without computer access for a while.

The computer I'm using now is the family computer, but actually we got it for my daughter.

She is now claiming her right to take it from me.

I have an older computer to take this one's place, but it has to go to the shop to get wiped and reloaded, and until I can afford to get that done, I'll be starving for the presence of all you here on dA.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I am up and running with another computer.

Have fun while I'm gone and don't get into trouble!
