snow

snow fell today in central north carolina. the lines at wally werld were horrendous. we needed
a few items and the shelves were ravaged by hordes of hispanics toilet paper, bread, and meat aisles were pawed over. we came away with hot cocoa mix, tang and pretzels . we have a store of food we got over the summer when we were both working , again part of the survival instinct
kicking in . when i was in the wreck in september, on the first, im glad we had bought extra supplies. I lost my job because the doctors felt i was unable to out wrestle 250 lb. drunks
where i work due to the severity of the burns on my legs and stomach. i wanted to go back to work, but being sensible about my situation was quite a blow to me, emotionally and financially. ive healed up since then and have spent time at the va hospital in a reconditioning
program to increase my strength and endurance. and i like the whirlpool tubs there as well.
the nurses aren't half bad either...:^)
ive also posted pictures of an event i went to as a spectator. penny and i are now crew to a
balloon team. Hot air balloons are a blast. i have not flown yet as penny is the chief person
on the team, but i help in chasing the balloon and repacking it. we were going to go to an event yesterday, but it was cancelled due to poor weather. now maybe ill have to wait until spring to fly...:^(

you have to do what you can to make life better for those people you love and who care about you. truth be told, i regret a lot of things ive done in life, or left undone. so i still have to keep on keeping on.

christmas isn't far away. and i miss my family alot. so if you hear from them , you'll be a lot more informed than i am. my sister moved somewhere. i never got a change of address on them. my nephew and niece got married sometime this past year. and life goes on.

so merry christmas to whoever you are where ever you are and whatever you are doing.
i hope your new year is better than last year and lisa , you owe me a dollar....
