I DECIDE TO TAKE ANNIE BACK TO THE RANCH BECAUSE I FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS GOING OVER TO THE FENCE AND LETTING HER COLT STILL NURSE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE SEPARATED. AS MUCH AS I'M FEEDING HER AND SPENDING MONEY SHE IS NEVER GOING TO GAIN ANY WEIGHT UNLESS I STOP THIS TOTALLY AND SHE CAN'T LIVE A LONG HEALTHY LIFE WITH THIS GOING ON. I PUT THE LEAD ROPE ON HER AND HERE WE GO BACK TO THE RANCH. WHEN SHE GOT INSIDE THE GATE IT WAS A TRUE LOVE STORY. A PIC SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS THIS WAS THE BEST DAY I'VE HAD IN 5 MONTHS SINCE TOMMY DIED. I SANG BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT FELT LIKE.

52 PIECES OF ME ..... WEEK 8
TODAY THE SERMON AT CHURCH WAS ABOUT HAVING THE SPIRIT OF THINKING "WHAT'S NEXT" INSTEAD OF GETTING SO TIED UP IN FEAR, SADNESS OR WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE OR IN YOUR PAST INSTEAD OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE SPIRIT OF " WHAT'S NEXT " CAUSE HOW CAN YOU FOLLOW THE LORD AND GET INTO HIS GLORY OR RECIEVE HIS BLESSINGS FOR YOU UNLESS YOU DO.
AFTER CHURCH AND THAT GREAT SERMON I WENT TO BUY ME A NEW LAWN MOWER BATTERY. WHILE I WAS THERE SINCE I'VE BEEN WANTING A BIKE FOR SOME TIME I SAID " WHAT IS NEXT " IS ME ON MY NEW BIKE RIDING IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS. I'VE LOST ABOUT 25 LBS SINCE TOMMY DIED AND NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE THE BUNS OF STEAL AND LEGS TO DIE FOR AFTER RIDING ALL THE HILLS AROUND CORO LAKE.
MY NEW BIKE IS COMPLETE WITH HORN, WATER BOTTLE AND HOLDER, LIGHTS FOR NIGHT, REAR VIEW MIRROW, AND OF COARSE ME A HELMET.
I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET HOME AND RIDE IT. I LOVE IT AND RIDING AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND FUN BLOWING MY HORN AT EVERYONE I SAW. THE HILLS FELT LIKE MOUNTAINS BUT I MADE IT WITHOUT STOPPING . THE LAST TIME I WAS ON BIKE WAS IN AMSTERDAM 12 YREAS AGO. MY HUSBAND AND I RODE THEM ON THE BEACH BOARD WALK ON THE WAY TO THE SPECIAL BARS IN THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT. ON THE WAY BACK TO THE HOTEL ROOM WAS SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT SINCE WE WERE HIGH AS KITES AFTER THE BAR BUT THAT'S ANOTHER WHOLE STORY IN ITSELF.
SO "WHAT'S NEXT" IS ME ON MY BIKE EVERYDAY LOVING THIS WEATHER AND LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO RIDE A BIKE FOR 2 WITH ME. LOL I HAVE THE SPIRIT AND SOON I WILL HAVE THE BUNS OF STEAL AND THE LEGS TO DIE FOR. WHEN I START DANCING ON THE PEABODY ROOF TOP AND DOWN BEALE STREET EVERYONE WILL BE TAKING NOTICE OF ME. LOL

ELIZABETH HAS MANY INTEREST GROWING FLOWERS, COOKING, DIETING, EXERCISING AND A HUGE HEART FOR THE LORD AND HIS WORD. SHE IS BEGINNING TO HAVE A GREAT INTEREST IN TEACHING AND IS NOW WORKING ON BEING A TEACHER. MATH AND FINANCE SEEM TO BE HER GREATEST INTEREST BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL AREAS IN EDUCATION SHE IS LOOKING INTO.

52 PIECES OF ME WEEK-6
THE AFTERNOON AFTER TOMMY'S SON PLANTED ALL THE TREES AND PLANTS AT THE MEMORIAL SIGHT IT BEGAN TO RAIN AND IT RAINED ALL OF THAT NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY UNTIL THAT AFTERNOON. ALL OF TOMMY'S FAMILY WAS IN TOWN AND AT THIER HOUSE SO I TOOK SOME WOOD AND WENT TO VISIT SO WE COULD ALL HAVE A NICE AFTERNOON TOGETHER. WHILE I WAS THERE IT STOPPED RAINING AND IT BEGAN TO SNOW. I TOLD THEM I HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE IF THE STREETS IN CORO LAKE GET SLICK YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THE HILLS AND CURVES.
I RAN TO GET SOME WINE. WHY YOU CAN'T HAVE A GREAT SNOW DAY WITHOUT WINE. I STOPPED BY THE HOUSE AND GOT ELIZABETH SO WE COULD RIDE AROUND OUR LAKE AND SEE THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW FALL. WE DID AND ENDED UP BY TOMMY'S MEMORIAL SIGHT. WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR WE NOTICED DOWN IN THE SPILLWAY THE WATER WAS RUSHING OVER THE ROCKS AND LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL WITH THE SNOW FALLING ON THE LAKE TOO. WE HAD FOUND A TREASURE OF A SPOT RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSE THAT WE NEVER NOTICED WAS THERE BEFORE. SO WITH CAMERA IN HAND WE WENT DOWN BY THE WATER AND I BEGAN TO RELAX FROM THE HORRIBLE FEELING OF LOSS AND SADNESS WATCHING THE MEMORIAL BEING MADE.
AT LAST I HAD FOUND A PEACEFUL PLACE AND IT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO TOMMY'S MEMORIAL. WE STAYED THERE TAKING PICS LISTENING TO THE WATER RUN OVER THE ROCKS AND THE SNOW FALL SO THICK AND BIG HUGE FLAKES COVERING ALL OF OUR SURROUNDINGS.
WHEN GOD CLOSES A DOOR HE ALWAYS OPENS A WINDOW. THE QUESTION IS WHEN WE HAVE SUCH A HUGE LOSS ARE WE LOOKING SO HARD AND SO LONG AT THE CLOSED DOOR THAT WE CAN NOT NOTICE THE WINDOW THAT IS OPEN OR IF WE DO NOTICE THE WINDOW ARE WE WISE ENOUGH TO STOP LOOKING AT THE CLOSED DOOR AND ENJOY THE WINDOW BEING OPEN.
TOMMY HAD TAUGHT ME TO DO THAT WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED IN SO MANY WAYS AND NOW I AM WISE ENOUGH TO DO IT WITH HIM NOW THAT IT IS HIS TIME TO GO HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD AND THE LOAD IS NOT AS HEAVY AND THE WINDOW SEEMS SO MUCH CLOSER NOW.
AS PEACE AND ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT MY LIFE WAS NOW CAME OVER ME AS I SAT THERE LISTENING TO THE WATER AND LOOKING AT HIS MEMORIAL WE ONCE AGAIN GOT INTO THE CAR AND FINISHED OUR LAKE AND NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVE.
AS SAD AS I WAS FOR THE HUGE LOSS TOMMY HAD LEFT ME FEELING BY BEING CALLED HOME WITH THE LORD SO SUDDENLY I KNEW IN MY HEART TOMMY HAD ALSO GIVEN ME THE THE WISDOM AND STRENGTH IN THE PAST 9 YRS TO CARRY ON IN PEACE, RESOLUTION AND ACCEPTANCE TO ENJOY THE REST OF MY LIFE JUST LIKE HE DID HIS LIFE EVERY SINGLE DAY AND JUST LIKE HE HAD STARTED SHOWING ME TO DO 10 YRS EARLIER OVER MY HUSBAND.
WINDOWS COMES IN MANY WAYS, SIZES AND SHAPES. IT'S UP TO US TO DECIDE TO ENJOY THE WINDOW OR TO KEEP LOOKING AT THE CLOSED DOOR. TOMMY WOULD ENJOY THE WINDOW AND THAT IS WHAT I HAVE CHOSEN TO DO AT THE SPECIAL TREASURE SPOT RIGHT NEXT TO HIS MEMORIAL BECAUSE HE TOLD ME SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST THAT WOULD BE HIS GREATEST WISH FOR ME IF HE WERE TO EVER HAVE TO LEAVE ME.

52 PIECES OF ME WEEK-5
LAST WEEK I HAD THIS ENTRY TO PUT IN AS MY 5TH WEEK OF 52 PIECES OF ME. IT'S A GREAT ONE BUT IT'S ALSO VERY SAD AND HARD FOR ME TO PUT IT TOGETHER. I DECIDED UNTIL I GET IT DONE I CAN'T MOVE ON. THIS WEEK I WILL BE DOING MY 5TH AND 6TH WEEK. THIS ONE IS MY 5TH WEEK.
IT IS TOMMY'S MEMORIAL SIGHT AT CORO LAKE WHERE WE LIVE. TOMMY LIVED HERE 50 YRS. WITH HIS 65 ACHER RANCH THAT HE BUILT FROM SCRATCH WOODLAND TO WHAT IT IS TODAY RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE WE LIVE. TOMMY DID SO MUCH VOLUNTEER WORK AROUND THIS LAKE I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO NAME IT ALL. HE BOUGHT AND SOLD LAND WHERE BEAUTIFUL HOMES HAVE BEEN BUILT AND HE DID SO MUCH LANDSCAPING I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE IT ALL. I HAVE LIVED HERE 27 YRS.
THE LAKE ASSOCIATION TOOK UP A MEMORIAL FUND FROM ALL OF THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE HERE AND TOMMY'S SON WHO OWNES A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS DONATED ALL THE WORK. THE MEMORIAL WAS PUT OVER ON THE LEVE NEAR THE DAM AND SPILLWAY WHERE ALL THE RESIDENTS GATHER FOR COMMUNITY PARTIES AND FISH FRIES ALL THROUGH THE YEAR. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON THE LAKE AND IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO EAT FRESH COOKED FISH OUT BY THE LAKE WITH ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS.
THIS IS THE LAST TIME WE WERE AT THE LAKE FISH FRY WHERE THE MEMORIAL IS NOW. IT WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS BEFORE HIS ACCIDENT. THIS IS TOMMY AND ELIZABETH ( MY DAUGHTER )
THIS WAS TAKEN ON NEW YEARS AND ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF US TOGETHER.
TOMMY WANTED THE MAIN SONG PLAYED AT HIS FUNERAL MY WAY AND WE DID
HE DID HIS LIFE HIS WAY AND IT WAS ALWAYS ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS AND HAVING FUN, MAKING EVERYONE HE WAS AROUND HAPPY AND TRYING TO MAKE THIER LIFE AS WELL AS ALL OF THIER FAMILIES A BETTER WORLD TO LIVE IN AND EVERYONE A HAPPIER PERSON WHEN THEY SAW HIM.
TOMMY ALWAYS MADE ME PROUD TO SPELL HIS NAME A WONDERFUL M-A-N. MY LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE A BETTER PLACE TO ME FOR ALL THE THINGS WE DID AND SHARED.
