OUCH! So sorry to hear about your mishap, Bill. That is awful!

I had a crummy day today. After being ill, bed bound, and trying to get my appetite back, I acquiesced to my hubby's idea to go out for breakfast. As I was sitting in the back texting a good friend, my stomach lurched and immediately ...

My children are such a blessing and are all amazing. All three have been so wonderful, along with my husband. They all were here and such a marvelous help during my 8 1/2 day stay in the hospital. I had either my husband or one of my 3 kids there at night with me, helping me for anything I needed. I ...

Hi, everyone. Thanks so very much for all of your well prayers, well wishes, and encouragement.

You know me, I am going to stay upbeat and positive...besides, my God is bigger than my situation. He will never leave me or forsake me, and is my rock through all life's journeys (good or bad). I am ...

Oh, no! Is it that noticeable?

Hey, Fred, you will have to partner up with me again this year for some classes. You were a good and fun partner to work with.

I inherited Bill's dojo and want to look at some of the kid's classes at Summerfest for ideas on teaching them. If we end up with more kids ...

I always wished we didn't have to move so much. It is hard to leave good friends behind and was so sad when your good friends had to move away.

When I was 14 my best friend's father got stationed in Japan. I sent a letter and it came back, missing a necessary number...APO or something like that ...

My Dad was a lifer in the Air Force, acting as a military policeman and later a 1st Sargeant over a bunch of young airmen. We moved around like the typical military family, never more than 4 years in one location. I attended 9 schools between 1 and 12 grade...due to moving and circumstances.

I was asked to look at this before I left for vacation. I will make a point to read it all and try to take it in.

More later,

Bill,

I have down loaded the Sochin you recommended. I don't think I will get to work on this with you, so will work on this on my own. Once I get it down, I will get you to give me your feedback on it....even if I have to video it and send it to you.

Thanks for posting...really nice kata.

Cheers ...

Love you lots, all of my great support team.

Happy Birthday, Bill! :new-bday: :new-bday: :new-bday:

George beat me to it for the first time in a dozen years. He has a little birdie and I bet I know who...good on her!

I hope your day is fantastic, your family makes you feel special, and those that care for you make you feel loved...if ...

Thank you, Fred and Bill.

Hugs and happiness to you and yours,

Yahoo for my Wahoo! I am very proud of my daughter. She is graduating next Saturday from UVa, with a degree in Biology. She has been on an ROTC scholarship and will be in the Air Force. I am so proud of her in many ways. I believe she will do well at whatever she decides.

I felt so tremendously ...
