They are amazing dogs and Denny's favorite photography subjects. He has had some of the photos of Kelly published in the 24/7 book about dogs. I'll have to see if I can find it and send it to you. I am glad he likes to take their picture, that way I don't have to be in the picture - it is hard to be married to a photographer.

:beer: WOO HOO!!!!!!! Way to go - staying strong for Trev. If the article is posted on line, share the link with us all.

ARRRGGGHHH!@$#@@!!~ I am so sorry for you both. It is hard enough dealing with all the medical issues resulting from the stroke without having to fight "city hall." By all means call the newspaper and television stations. Let the neighbors be exposed as selfish, self serving jerks!

Stay strong Pam. What you are doing isn't easy, but you will be glad you stood up for yourself.

Based on the comments on the rvnet, those who rv with disabilities say the motorhome is easier. No hitching and unhitichng etc. I agree, we used to pull an airstream trailer, but I know I would not be able to hitch it up correctly. Some people like the 5th wheel trailers, but then you need just as big an engine to pull it as having a motorhom.

Yep - we are taking the bikes for sure. We can't ride much down here right now because the heat just about kills us both!

Going to venture out with it today and get it emission tested and licensed. Wish me luck! Oh, and I have to buy some fuzzy dice!

I just might call you Bonnie. Our daughter lives in Woodinville and that is one of the destinations Denny keeps mentioning. "Motorhome? Carrie?" Woke up this morning and tried to slip out of bed so as not to wake Denny. He opened his eyes and first thing out of his mouth was, "Motorhome? Cleaning?" My son arrived home with it yesterday, so I guess Denny was thinking we would clean it up, pack up and hit the road!

Good to know Fred. Now I know who to call when I can't figure something out! Phil (my son) arrived home this evening. We love the choice we made. 30 foot Georgie Boy. Denny wanted to eat out there tonight. Then just a bit ago he asked, "Sleep? Ahhhhh, motorhome???" SMILE - guess I better learn to drive it quick. I have driven our pick up and camper and also in the past we had a 1 ton ford van and an Airstream (28 foot) but this vehicle looks REALLY big compared to them.

Welcome Back Cindy. I find some days I am here every day and others I just don't feel drawn to the site.

I can really relate to your comment about Jean being there - For the first month on the site, I felt like she was just sitting waiting to help me. Can't thank her and the rest of the good folks on the site for all the help and encouragement and support.

Oh Chris - thanks for sharing the photos of your home. What a lovely place. I wish I could come and bring my dogs and walk with you on the peaceful path.

Good luck with the driving. I don't like to drive, but Denny is happy as a clam not having to fight the traffic anymore.

Sending you good thoughts about your future with Trev. Hope you have a moment to think about the good times with your Dad.

Good for you Charmin - started your blog AND found a minute to yourself. Keep us posted on the outcome of the biopsy. We are thinking of you both!

Very inspirational....always listen to your heart.

You have put into words what I have been feeling since my husband's stroke. I went online last night because I was so lonely and thank God there were some survivors in the chat room. They helped me get out of my funk, but I still left feeling guilty for wanting more from our lives.

Sunday was so hard. We used to have lazy mornings, hubby would bring me coffee in bed, we would read the paper, talk about our week, books ...whatever. Now we get up when he needs to get up to go to the bathroom, I make the coffee, help him dress, fix breakfast, then get myself cleaned up and dressed. I wanted to sit down and read the paper but by then, he was ready to start pointing out all the things that needed done around the house. I miss him so much.

When do you stop grieving? I have faced loss in my life before also, but this feeling of emptyness just won't go away. Thanks for letting me tag onto your blog... :juggle:
