It's Been A ride This Week

OH BOY

NEVER HAVE CARED

FOR

THOSE TYPES OF RIDES!!!

BUT

ohhh, HOW EXCITING THEY ARE!!!

"Life is a grand adventure or nothing at all" (Helen Keller said it) but remember she did not see a Roller Coaster like this one, nor did she live in the days of them flying at this pace!

Good morning mornin

as light has just greeted me with a

wonderful cup of coffee

and I swear I just heard the "distinctive screech of the Eagle this morning"

It's been quite a week I tell you.

Mom goes and leaves Florida, leaving the house and my bed, and dishes up to the dogs to tend to and they are doing a terrible job I must just add.

And, I hear that last night, little 9year old Kamryn had a date with Mom to go and enjoy

the Red Lobster and week-end with Mom

(there goes my inheritence I tell you, spent on the Godsons, poof, gone)

haha

and

Meanwhile the week has been filled to the rim

with much happening and doing all across the lands.

Lily and her tribe out there are sooo funny

and

they are out of that den and just exploring to their hearts content,

boy those little ones can make some noise

often startling the 4 leggeds here making them bolt out of their beds and bark while running half way around the pool before realizing it is

HOPE and the siblings!

Visit them for a minute

you will be captivated.

We could learn so much from

the North American Black Bear

if we would only watch

and put it to practice in our lives!!

I am preparing for KS, and so hoping to see

Oz,

but I know that I will get to see those there at

Comfort Keepers KS who are celebrating

10 years of taking care of their own

their as they provide care for those

in the community

Congratulations Stephen Bright and Linda

for all you are doing for the community!

><

AND

Out there in Wounded Knee South Dakota

where friends

Jane and Walter LittleMoon

are living

I was able to have a

phone call with Jane

after over 20 years

and as we talked

it seemed there had been no distance

and we talked for over 155 minutes

and

we laughed, drank coffee together, and

I cried and felt the sorrow on a level that suprised even me

as she told me stories of

Walter and his friends there

who had endured the tortures of

the

Indian Boarding Schools

as

now a grown man who

is also a Veteran of the Military

has come eye to eye

with that torture he suffered as a child

now that we can diagnose and know to be

 

COMPLEX-POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

JANE and I talked for so long, we caught up

friends from so long ago.

Their book

"They called Me Uncivilized"

is now "required reading" at a couple of Universities.

We are now trading book for book.

I can tell you all this much I know:

I am honored to call

Walter LittleMoon my friend;

and to tell you

he is NOT uncivilized, nor has he ever been.

He is a man of great honor, of spirit that has been badly badly bent his lifetime,

BUT

I can remember him sitting at my table in Arlington VA, and us laughing, and of him standing beside me,

 (OH MY is he one tall Indian)

AND

he sure can make some delicious

Fry Bread

and

I can tell you this

He is a Proud Lakota Man

a Man

 I am continually amazed by.

AS for Jane?

She is perhaps one of the most passionate women I have ever met,

and funny as hell (and ok, maybe there have been times we've sat around the table and laughed so hard it was a tad uncivilized but nothing for the govt to clame as such)

AND

I always knew in my heart

she would walk beside Walter

as I knew

just because I knew they were to be together.

AND

how crazy is that?

From Greenwich CT to Wounded Knee

so,

there you go.

><

AND

during all of this

Sissy Two Wolves

out there in South Dakota has been as sick as sick can be with some kind of bug that will not let go of her,

and

meanwhile

the Spider' Web

has of course reached out and connected

she and Jane and Walter

of our connections

as

she is

in Custer which is a few short hours

from Wounded Knee!

AND

so

during all of this

(stay with me here)

I am hearing daily updates from our friends

EE and son CJ

who have travelled like settlers of old from one side of the mountains of Colorado

to the other

in search of their dream

and to be in the vast wilderness

but

also within driving distance to a better and complete Cancer Center of Denver.

They are now

in Rio Cucharas Inn

where they have re--discovered old friends

the Innkeeper, Leroy and stafff

and

embraced as "family" there

as they go day by day looking for that place with land

to call "home"

and

I cannot help but wonder

"how is it all of this in the same week"

such excitement, such UPS and Downs

of

friends across the states.

Friends making their

"dreams become realities"

It reads like a western movie out there in Colorado and here is that link:

Now I realize you may have to read this more than once today,

but

also

during all of this

on

WEDNESDAY

my girl Olivia

took the soccer field

after having broken her ankle in two places when the season started last year... that led to a damaged growth plate, >>>

which

led to both growth plates having to be

"bored through" killing both

in a surgery that turned out to be

a traumatic experience for both

Olivia and Joan

(which the experts at Johns Hopkins said Olivia would never remember)

BUT

brilliant ones, YOU WERE WRONG ON THAT

and

now both are traumatized

and

The Nana is

well how shall we say this

....

OK, I'll say it, The Nana, is

HOT ABOUT IT STILL.

BUT

Olivia on Wednesday

now healed

thanks to

the recovery time spent with

her great mama and her super Nana

and

a healing ceremony by

Kelly Two Wolves by phone

OUR OLIVIA TOOK THAT FIELD

AND

RAN LIKE A PONY IN THE WIND

AND

KICKED PUNTED THAT PALL HALF WAY ACROSS THE FIELD SHE DID

AND

SAYS, "NANA IT WAS AWESOME, TELL EVERYONE THANKS FOR THINKIN OF ME, AND NANA, THE WARRIOR WAS THERE, I FELT IT"

<>

So, there ya go.

AND

then I hear from cuz in Virginia

that she passed her recent certifications for her work up there at Highland Ridge!!

Congrats Angie, you best get a new pair of shades for your eyes Warrior as I believe the future is so bright for you that they will be needed!

STOMP

Mean while, did i tell you the little four leggeds are doing a pitiful job where Mom left off?

No beds made, no dishes no vacuuming and no mopping of floors???

MOMMMM

so,

when Mom had her last weekend,

and

we all know Mom is

COB

We had time with dear friends Laura and Mitch.

Well now

they have a 2 year old grandson

named

BEN

and when Ben met

COB/MOM

he looked her in the eye

and said this:

"Hi COB, HOW U DOIN" and I thought my Mom and I would just lay down and die laughing!

BUT

of course unless you knew what COB for mom was her now "nickname" known across the land, you would not think this as funny!

AND

during this

did I mention, my dear friend in Northern VA

popps up on chat with this question,

"I'm going to the church tonight where they channel dead people, what question should I ask"

ONLY my life this week would have such fun!!!

Oh yes, also I am getting to go to Missoula and Billings in May, and of course it is via Denver

then to Missoula where then you drive 200 miles to get to Billings and then 175 to get to the next place!!!

haha

ah, just what the week needed

><

and THEN

the week ends with

the

Beloved

Elizabeth Taylore dying peacefully with her children present.

Being late to her funeral

but

early enough to keep those village idiots and their signs away,

such a class act

our

Elizabeth Taylor.

Now I've brought you up to speed here

and the roller coaster of life

in Florida,

topped off last night by opening the front door to Christmas with packages there to open!

ONE: a box of dark chocalate candy Mrs See's

with this card attached:

"while I was there I ate your whole box, so I got you some! Love MOM"

oh no, I thought the sin had been removed!

Thanks Mom!!!

BOX 2

the card reads

"Happy Late St Patricks Day

I'm a bit late in the baking of my soda bread, Love you Eileen"

and there it was

oh my does it smell wonderful and is it heavy and fresh

Eileen's homemade IRISH SODA BREAD

which DLB immediately grabbed and ran to the kitchen with!!!

Bet I know what is for dinner tonight!

my coffee needs a refill before I go in search

of

that Eagle I think is now residing in the trees

of the property behind me.

I am so excited I can barely contain myself!!!

Hope the wagon trail and property search in Colorado is going well today,

that Chris in NY is getting great results up there as she spoils the family while being a bit "cold",

that Walter and Jane are doing great things in the chill of Wounded Knee and holding the little ones there tightly, then set them free to fly out,

that two wolves will soon be well, it is past time to feel good and for spring to come to you,

and that Irene of this page is healing her recent losses by embracing each day tightly and blowing bubbles...

So,

with all that is happening here,

HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?

DLB came home with the icing on the cake as she said one of her employees walked by yesterday wearing a "I'm allergic" sticker.

As DLB thought it serious she took a closer look only then to realize

this employee had carefully written

each and everyone's name on the little sticker

and

was wearing it on her chest!!!

AND yes, it included "DLB"

NOW THAT IS FUNNY and CREATIVE

her symptoms when asked>fever!@!!

hahaha

SO, now u know, it's been a week

the fire is burning brightly, its embers are hot. thoughts on the winds to all who enter here.

Walk In Beauty,
