Let me try this again as it won’t post the whole thing without cutting part of it off. Our old method of posting pictures was so much better.

We have this plaque in our house. It’s so true.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and kind words of condolence. You are all my Quacker sisters. I hope Abby and Belle were waiting as Rocky crossed over the bridge and now they can all be together again. Our “Three Musketeers.” It’s hard making the decision to let them go but a little voice tells us that it’s time and the medical tests back that up. Thanks for the butterflies. I always associate them with our pets who have passed. I expect to see a beautiful one flying by to give me a message sometime soon. Our hearts are heavy but we have 17 years of beautiful memories and that will now have to be enough.
Thank you all for your love and support. It means much more than you can know and it lightens the burden of grief.
Hugs.
Gail

Hi Colleen,
I guess they are doing the MRI to see actually where the sciatic nerve is being pressed in case they decide to give him shots. His biggest complaint is that sometimes his foot is numb and that sometimes his leg hurts badly. I hope they can do something so he gets more relief. I know cortisone will take that inflammation right down-but they didn’t want to give him oral prednisone because that can drive up your blood sugar and he has been having some high readings sometimes now. I have been trying to feed him more vegetables and less carbs to try and get that back under control. It’s a lot easier in the summer when there are more fresh vegetables available.
Yes pretty soon Danyielle will be the next generation. lol Is she struggling with this birthday. Personally I thought 30 was harder than 40. Jenny just turned 34 and Brent will be 35 at the end of the month so they both have a little way to go.
I hope Aliza gets that tooth in soon. Poor things don’t know why they hurt-they just know it hurts.
I have not worn the cherry outfit yet. They were showing them on Fashionably Early this morning and I think I may go back and get the one that you ordered as i am liking that khaki color. I am always looking for lighter colors that are less hot when you are outdoors in summer but I don’t like white as i always just get it dirty immediately-so khaki is a good substitute but it is still light-that’s why I like the things in heather grey too-light but not white.

Hi Adele,
Out of the Carole Hochman and into the Quacker and no one shows up. How rude!
Naturally the guy would have to have stitches on your time. At least he didn’t get injured at your house. I guess if you look hard enough you can find a bright side to almost everything.
I know you will get that backsplash in by hook or crook today. Even if you have to go stage a sit in at Lowe’s. You are a woman with a purpose.
No Greg did not get vertigo from laying down. He got it when he tried to use that inversion table for his back. He has an appointment with an Eye Ear Nose and Throat guy. They think it might be ear crystals which I have never heard of but I guess there is a fix for it.
Of course the insurance for the MRI already has called as they want to make sure they get their out of pocket money up front before they do anything more. It was kind of nice in the old days when you could forget that medicine was a business and that it actually seemed like it was for the purpose of helping people. Of course all businesses are like that anymore-self serve check out lines-self serve gas pumping. Pretty soon we will go to a restaurant and cook our own meals(actually I have been to a steak house where you do that) Sometimes I wish I lived in Oregon or New Jersey just so I wouldn’t have to pump my own gas. Remember the days when they used to pump your gas, wash your windows and check your oil? That’s not even something that’s on our kid’s radar as they have never experienced that.
I hope by the end of the day you have a new backsplash. Hooray!
Gail

Hi Dianne,
The pictures of the dishes are pretty. They remind me of something that would have been from the Victorian Age. Kind of antique looking. Especially in the rose pattern.
I knew something had happened to Albany but I didn’t know exactly what. Thanks for telling us. I’m with Colleen-how many kids does she have. She always talks about having a houseful and it seems like she has mentioned exchange students or something so it’s hard to keep track.
I like the jewelry days even though I seldom buy anymore-but I have collected many pieces over the years. I used to love the old Kirk’s Folly shows. They were like the Quacker Factory of jewelry. lol Years ago QVC was always on for background but i have been with them so long that I seldom watch live anymore. I DVR the shows that I want to see and just flick through them or check out what was previously on air on line. I guess I have watched for so long that nothing seems new anymore. I used to like all the kitchen shows but I have enough equipment that even those have lost their draw. I guess i am QVC’d out. lol
Hope your weather warms up a bit. We should not have to have heat on in June.
Gail

Hi Barbara,
How wonderful for you to have your boys all around you. I’ll bet you all are having lots of fun.
The baby shower sounds like a big surprise and a good time for both you and Neal. They must think very highly of him and that makes you feel good too.
I hope things will check out all right with Jerry’s Mom. It’s good that they have had this opportunity to reconnect and that they are enjoying each other so much. Jerry may be over tired but it’s a good kind of overtired when you are helping someone you love.
It is always sad when a relationship ends and I know at one time Lisa was like a DIL to you so it is sad for you too-seeing the dreams ended. However, this will be like a new life for Joey and an opportunity to find new love and happiness. Love seems to come when you least expect it and when you are not looking.
Have a wonderful time making new memories with your family.
Gail
