Family & Luck

As luck would have it, I have no luck at all..
Now don’t get me wrong, I have gone through surgery an am well on my way to mending and feeling great these days. See I am posting, LOL. However I have had a bad run of luck with a whole lot of visiting and love going on here. Lets see if I can’t rehash some of the past week..

July / Had surgery, no luck there, but lots of pain to follow and therapy is not for the weak let me tell you, that shit hurts like hell.. as you read they did a lot of work. However I am moving my arm a lot better. Typing is still a challenge. But hey I am up for it.

Now to tell you about the first week of August. This has really been a challenge.. First of all My Daughter and her boyfriend is visiting from Los Angeles Ca. what a wonderful visit this has been.. We have done all kinds of things.. They arrived last Thursday morning.. We went and visited family most of the day and my daughter got to see her brothers for the 2nd time.. She says she feels like he is home. That’s a good feeling..

Friday we went to a little county fair and had a good time.. Well heres where my luck starts, We got to the fair and I had a free pass to get us in. Well I had to park in the front and then go get the pass. Come back and go park my car back in the parking lot. But heres the problem. I have been cleared to drive. But I can not turn my body around to look out the back window. Has luck would have it, I didn’t see the tree behind me nor in any of my mirrors and WAM I ran right smack into a hanging branch as I was backing up. Dented the back end of my car. Yep, great big dent in the TOP of the side panel right next to the trunk. Now I swear that damn branch grew just in time for the tree to jump out behind me.. ask my daughter, she will tell you.. lol..
(ok, this is where I go for coffee, hey I just woke up)

Sat / well my sisters wedding was beautiful and so was my sister. All I can say is WOW.. is was a wonderful day for all. I got to see family members I have not seen in years and my Daughter got to meet a lot of family. (She grew up in L.A with her father, long story) She had such a wonderful time. Looking at her face the whole day while the family hugged on her was amazing. But then my daughter is amazing anyways.

Sun / we went to Niagara Falls for the day. Now we had a good group going here. My Son and Wonderful DIL , My 2nd son and his girlfriend and my daughter and her boyfriend went and of course me. LOL... it was an awesome day.. They all went in the cave of the winds. Which if you don’t know what that is, it is the cave that runs behind the falls.. lots of steps lol.. then we found time to run to the Casino and have dinner.. After dinner we walked over to the Canadian side of the falls.. Did ya ever notice that most places that tourist go are geared towards the Americans?? We walked Clifton Hill and every shop there had almost the same things in them. What a disappointment that was. But still we had a good time and got home about 2:30 AM

Mon/ we went to pick up my niece and go shopping. Well leaving her parking lot. WHAM again this time a car backed right out into me.. got the other side of my car. I swear this time it was not my fault.. this guy never saw me and ran right smack into me. Well the good news is. NO DAMAGE to either car.. good thing. But I was pissed. But I had to realize I had just done the same thing with a tree a few days prior.. So I didn’t yell at him.. See I am getting better...

Tues / Today / we are spending the day with the family as going to have a first time ever Family Picture done with the Kids all grown up.. will be the last one as a family like that I am sure as all my kids hate to have their pics taken LOL, and then tomorrow my daughter and her boyfriend go back to L.A.

I am really going to miss her. Nut I am sure we will go back to talking at least 30 times a day by cell phone and emailing and talking on yahoo.. Then as the cold weather comes back upon this part of NY I will then fly to L.A. and Maybe AZ for a few weeks.. Now that’s what I call a vacation. Lol...

I want to thank all of you who have emailed and left comments here for me.. You are all wonderful and a big HUGG goes out to you all...

Any Spelling Mistakes are that of Word Doc not mine. Just thought I would throw that part in for good measure. LOL
