Hello, hello, I'm finally catching up on my BLOG!!!


Well, it's been a long time since I put anything in my blog. Not sure it gets read anyway, but here's the update. Here's the deal for the time I haven't written.
I bought my own ATV in SD while I was working there. Took some great rides I can tell you. I carry my kayak on racks over the ATV. The picture does not show them as you see. It's a TXR 500cc Honda Rubicon 4X4. I really enjoy it.
Toward the end of last November 07 as my travel nursing contract in SD was coming to an end I was notified that my mother was ill. I took off to CA to help my mother. That was the last time I worked. Her illness progressed and she passed away on January 6, 2008. Needless to say I was devastated.
Just days after she passed away my Uncle in Boulder City, NV called for me to come to him because he was ill. I took off for NV to help him, back to CA to finish up my mothers affairs then back here to NV. Yes, I say here because that is where I am right now. I have had to take over the care and well being of my uncle and will be here for at least another month, into July. With great guilt, after admitting to myself that after giving over 2 months of 24/7 care he needs without help, I made arrangements for him to stay in the Nevada State Veterans Home, the only one in the state, right here in Boulder City. A blessing for him and I.
Well bless my soul, he likes it there and is doing very well. He had surgery two days ago and is doing very well. After I settle his personal affairs and change his mail address to mine I will be able to travel.
From the looks of things I will not have to go back to work again. So officially I am now a full timer. I so look forward to catching up with the WINs and other friends. Can't wait. Would love to hear from you all out there.
