Howdy Y'all . . .

Long time no type. Ain't no 'bout-a-doubt it, I wanna come out & play again soon.

I'm still at my post as Mama's Caregiver. Rough, but still Fullness of Joy. Online time is fleeting these past few months, but I've been able to shoot off the occasional "funny" to Sir Johnny.

I may be major behind on music projects, but I'm standin' tall as a floor-mopper. I'm discovering - more than I ever realized - how the smallest of gifts give back the most, when given in simple and honest love.

Mama's Dr.s are genuinely astonished she's still alive. I, to the contrary, know that ya' just cain't keep that Ol'Cherokee down. As I glance over to her this moment, smiling as she tries to figure out Wheel of Fortune puzzles, I'm blessed to know I made the right choice two weeks ago when her Dr. asked me if I should remove her from life support. I knew it was not the Lord's time for her to come home. Can't explain it, really, but I knew.

I do hope to be able to pop in now and again, rather than be totally absent. I miss this place and miss y'all - Big Time.

Did y'all check out the Loozianna "French Qtr?"
I'm partial to that one - don't know why.

Btw, I got my ticket to see Gord this August at Cerritos. Time will tell whether I'm able to go or not - all depends on Mama'a health. I figure, if I can't go - someone else will w/ my ticket. And, the blessing goes on.

Had to do that a few times these past 3 mo. but knew it was the peaceful thing to do - to bless someone else and be happy for that. Not to mope 'cause I got "robbed."

Keep laughin', too. Like Johnny says, "lighten up"can be a very good thing. Just like "the music" - laughter matters right to the soul.

Adios for now. Bless All Yer Great Big Hearts.
