We that complain and a Birthday Party

Autos of beauty

 This car a 1954 Buick Skylark was new when I met Mary Ann!

For today (Sunday):

We attended a birthday party for Mary Ann on Saturday. Do you know someone who lights up a room? That is Mary Ann. She has had enough life and health problems to sink a battle ship, lives with pain, but sports the brightest smile and most positive attitude you would ever know.

(SMILE) It makes one who complains feel so stinking small in that tall girls presence.  This girl was married at 14 had her first girl child, Debbie, at 15.  She is now 81, my age and as sweet as sugar.

                       Yep she is 81

She still lives up on top          a mountain near Lenoir NC with Buck, her husband.  A while after her husband Enoch, passed she called Sherry to say she wanted her to be a Matron of Honor, she and Buck were to be married. They are from the same area and their grands were intermarried so that had brought she and Buck together. They are doing well in spite of medical problems.

You would never know there was a pain in this girl’s body, she has an electric smile.

I met her just before her first marriage. Sherry has known her most of her life. Of course her family adores her.

I just wanted to shine a bright light into my own head today; I knew Mary Ann could do that. AND she did.  Sherry is taking me to the Dr. tomorrow, imma thinking Dr. Coutts will work this time. We usually chat and he works on other patients records while seeing me. I trust him. I think this is the first time I have ever NEEDED to see him. The rest was only for the yearly physical. I think I am the oldest patient he has.

PS:Susan said in her comment on the Pandemic of 1918, that an entire village was wiped out in Northern Alaska.  I wonder how in the world did the virus penetrate such an isolated area? That is wild.  Life is good and valuable, we do what we can to survive.
