MAD?

`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

OK, maybe I don't go around kissing sharks, but I have accepted the position of interim nurse manager of the Neuro ICU. I lived through my first week and that is about all I can say. The people I work with a great and the unit is exciting, but I was so tired come Friday afternoon; I was worried about driving home. I drove home and sleep for 11 hours and now I am beginning to feel human again.

Have you ever kissed a shark??????

Jerry McKinney (my brother-in-law) is absolutely one-of-a kind. I have never kissed a shark and probably never will, but some of us do need to do the impossible. In the second or bottom picture , the shark is VERY much alive and trying with all of it's might to get back into the water! Don said that Jerry kept saying, " Hold still; cause I'm gonna kiss you!". He is not human (Jerry, not the shark), so therefore I think the shark allowed it?!?!?! The shark was about six feet long and 200 pounds, so I think they were a good match......

More beach!!!!

These are my babies!!!

I think they had a great time once again with Nana. This is our 10th year at Mexico Beach and I pray for many more to come.....

(The little blond is dangerous)

Life's a beach!!!

10 hr trip Jon Preston, Bobby Fears & Amy Schrimsher are all from Huntsville, AL Johnny McKinney from Westover, AL., Jerry McKinney from Brilliant, AL. and Jason McKinney from Coker, AL.

Johnny was in heaven! A friend took Johnny, Jerry, and Jason fishing! They were in the big time. These are the fish they caught on a 10 hour trip. They are already planning next years!

Non-smoking please?

When I go outside now, I am greeted with the smell of smoke and there is a haze everywhere!We are on a red day for those with respiratory problems. Even sometimes within my home, I can smell smoke. I understand that Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp is still burning. Let's all go out and do a rain dance and see if that helps. A friend at work said her daughter neglected to close the window and they woke-up thinking the house was on fire. Another friend said parts of the fires measure 30X50 MILES wide! Let me whine a minute. Those of us with respiratory problems are miserable.

I had a professor that believed the earth will destroy anything that will harm it [the earth]. Now I'm no Rush Limbaugh, but (or should I say butt) I think we better think about what we are doing here. Kind of makes you want to get your old heart right with God. Huh?

Butterfly days

The girls showed-up at my door with this beautiful butterfly! It was so cold on Sunday that the little butterfly would not fly. So Maddie keep the lovely butterfly until it's demise on Tuesday. I hear they only live three days? In any case, Maddie had a burial for the butterfly along with snacks. It was really moving.......

Where are my pictures??

I took some great pictures Sunday of two of my grands with a beautiful butterfly. These alleged pictures are in my computer, somewhere???????? Since I started to online classes, a year ago, I have been surprised at my computer "skills" ( I say/type that skills word loosely) There are so many members of my family and friend that a computer gurus (you know who you are!!) yet, I can't move my pictures from the new program to my pictures. The thing is I have done it before (see below finch pictures). In any case, I will not be defeated!!! The pictures will magically appear soon. Try to avoid any unnecessary anticipation.........
