A WALK IN MY SHOES.... Years ago I began a blog but then stopped updating it due to the fact that I had the opportunity to become a columnist and share my life through a weekly column in a local newspaper. As a retiree, I still feel the need to share. This journal has been resurrected as an outlet, a replacement to my column which was called A Walk in My Shoes, to share my life and in many cases, to simply say what people are thinking but are afraid to say.

Danny Ends His Football Career.
Our son, Danny, had arthroscopic surgery last week to replace his ACL in his knee and also reconstruct the meniscus. His girlfriend, Amanda, is taking good care of him but I think the couch sitting is getting old for him.
Danny was playing football with friends when he did the damage and everyone heard it pop. The picture to the left is Danny with his first football when he was two months old in 1976.

Jersey Visitors
This past week my Aunt Tootie (Doris) and Uncle Jack came to visit during their annual trip to Florida. They came in on Tuesday and left on Friday for Bonita Springs where they will stay until the end of March. Aunt Tootie and Uncle Jack are looking great and it is always so nice to have them at our home. Hopefully next time they can stay over a weekend so I can spend more time with them. The picture shows me with them in my office before they left.

Alex sees his first Rodeo Parade
When our children were little, my friend Marcie and I always made it a tradition to take our children to the Rodeo Parade in downtown Homestead. Every year we would sit in the same spot and our children really enjoyed it. As time went on, we would often sit on the curb and watch our own children march by in baton groups or band or school groups. Eventually we all ended up in the parade with girl scouts or band or other organizations.
Now that my children are grown up, I have not attended the parade for several years. This year, my daughter Debi informed me that I had to continue tradition and attend the parade with her husband and my grandson Alex. I am happy to report that Alex had a wonderful time and so did I. The only thing he did not like was the nosiy fire truck! Alex was a hit with the ladies and a lot of candy was thrown at him.
The Black and Blue of it All
Two weeks ago my husband, Elias, has surgery for a ruptured vein in his leg. This is his leg one and a half weeks later. The doctor cut into his groin and tied off the vein. He then cut into his leg near his ankle and pulled the vein out. This is his leg healing. The bruising is very prominent and he has some pain but is recovering and should be back to normal soon.
