What in the World? I did not expect this.

Picture from San Antonio

'The Little Red Barn'  is one of our favs in San Anton.  This is  our waitresses wearing a 45 and the menu is presented as you see it. San Anton, the River WAlk and the Alamo.. One of our top destinations as we travel.

For today:

Some of you may remember Blogger Paula, of Paulinescountrytales.   She lived just South of San Anton. We were friends for years. She wrote poetry and I asked for permission to use some in a book. She agreed, and I received many comments on her poems.

Well this jumped up on my reading list, listed as 5 years ago. I have never had that happen before. I am reprinting her entry. This is Paula Liek's last blog entry 5 yrs ago:

. Wednesday, June 5, 2019

I was surprised to see any comments after so long a time. I miss everyone but I'm swamped. John has Dementia, can see and hear very little. Everything is up to me even though I have my own health problems. I have MDS, a blood disease, stage three kidney disease, and tests show I have Pulmonary Hypertinsion but don't have the symtems. John sleeps a lot but likes for me to take him for drives on country roads so we do that most every day. I'm taking Procrit injections in the stomach every other week to try to keep my blood counts up. So far it has helped, but they are never where they should be. In spite of everything The Lord has been good to us. Things could be worse. 

 

Lisa the hospital I wrote about is in Poteet, Texas so it was just called Potee Hospital. It is just north of us and is the Strawberry capital of Texas

Paula had been married to her sweetheart Mel, who passed away.  Later She met John, a rancher who needed help around the ranch, and she had always wanted to be a Cowgirl, so she moved in.

The Alamo is part of a chain of Missions there, this is son Mark and Sherry at Mission Conception.

I’m laughing inside, because Once in my Blog entry I mentioned a family member moving in with his girlfriend. I said I wished they had married.

I did not realize she and John were not married, she came back to me saying, “ Let me tell you something Jack, there is no hanky pankie going on down here.!”

I was surprised but got a good laugh out of it. We did actually get to meet she and John on one visit to San Antonia. She was a sweetheart. I have wondered so may times what the end was like.  The above was her last entry methinks.

Some will remember Paula.  Chatty was one of the last to comment also.

I think I am being haunted with memories and things from the past. OUCH
