SATURDAY AGAIN

I  had  shrimp  and  angel  hair  pasta again  yesterday.  Mama  Thortan  and  her  son  Dr  Darrin  Thortan  drove  down  and  brought  it to  me.  Ardi  Endrie also  stopped  by.

No  protein  or  Raisin  Bran  again.

Yesterday  I  also  FB  Rudy  who  is  now  an  independent  and  married.  We had  a  conversation  about  the  downfall  of  Detroit.  I  would  also  compare  it  to  Cleveland.

SMALL TRESURES

Small treasures
 I REMEMBER THE GIFTS FRON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS WELL AS MY 30 AND 40 BIRTHDAY, now I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE HUGE EFFORT OF EVERYONE TRAVELING TO BEREA LAST WEEK. TO BRING ME DINNER AND CHEESECAKE.

SO  WHAT  IF  SHE  DOES  NOT  RECALL  A  GIFT  FROM  LOMOND  YEARS .  IT  WAS  THE  BEST  OF  TIMES.  I PRAY  THAT  WHEN  I  GO  TO  MY  FINAL  REST  THAT  IT  WILL BE  A  CEBRATION.

President on The View

Why  should  a  sitting  president  should  not  be  a  guest  on  a tv  talk  show  The  View.
 It  is  a  show  that  I  view,  except  I  will not  today  due  to  a  dentist  appointment.

If  something  were  to  happen  that  would  affect  national  security  it  will  be  there  for  all  forever  viewed  as  a  soud  bite  forever.  However  it  was  filmed.

Obama  actions  seems  like  he  is  in  campaign  mode  still.

I was just talking with someone about how email adresses never change and I thought of you and that is done often when ever I hear Wisconsin.

I am  sending  more  mail  in  honor  of  my  Father.

I am studying Journalism at TRI C. I will not let my brain go to mush.

If you care to write please send it to 570 North Rocky River Dr Berea,OH 44017.

No INDdapendapendance

Yes, I know we just celebrated our indepapence day. However, living at a skilled nursing facility with very few friends around ,using my daytimes on hold calling the library.
The campaign will keep me busy untill Nov. on thier phone. Busy on the phone.
BTW I also used my miututes calling thier field office.
What tires me is how this place does not have many activities that will excite your mind. BINGO or JINGO.

I met some nurses who I consider friends. This one particular nurse knows about the blog due to the fact I mentioned it on FACEBOOK.

I need to find a place with more culture. Cleveland area is not the same.

DEAR ALBERTA

My mother is now her power of attorney.

She used to live next door to my grandmother Rhea Bell Cobb.

When my grama went to the Lord, she sood next to me and stated Ill be your grandmother now.

The two over seas trips that I took she always was writing me a check.

MY BLOG

My name is Laurie Elise Garvin and I believe in Jesus. I have MS and now drive a wheelchair.I am a proud alum of Shaker Hts High School,Ohio U as well as Bowling Green State University . a membember of Aldersgate United Methodist Church as well as Phi Sigma Sigma.

I am a musician who used to play the piano quite well. I am a vocalist who sang in Operas ,musicals and church choirs.

My parents had a house on Biltmore in Cleveland; However, I am so thankful that we moved 6 blocks.

The joke is I asked for a piano but the house on Biltmore was not the right size. I did not know about how schools were rated when I was a kid.



My wish now is to become a Journalist.
