Saturday Cold

The wind came through about 1 AM this morning 40 mph sustained and 50 mph gusts. Down to 26 and it felt cold.

Didn't get blog in yesterday. Had to go watch the kids play basketball for Regional title. They lost but not without a fight.

I had bought some leads back when MPM gave us one for every two we bought. I have been working some of them the last week or so. Still not much luck but have met some interesting people. E mailed some of them today and called two on a follow up. I will take some more next week and work them.

Hug your children often and tell them you loveum.

Thursday O. K.

About the lady in the nursing home. She was using her room mates phone. She doesn't have a phone of her own nor a computer of her own. She is really not capable of doing the things necessary to have even a personal mall. Where is she to get her down line? No I think I made the right choice, I can sleep at night knowing I didn't put an elderly person at risk.

Took on some more leads today and called the ones from the other day. Sent out e mails to those I didn't get to talk to.

Every body have a great night and hug your family.

Wednesday Training

We had to go to Odessa today for 8 hours of Ombudsman training. Long day but we learned a lot.

Didn't get as much done today as I wanted but it will work out. Got some contacts at the meeting. They were people interested in the care of residents in Nursing Homes.

Did some e mails when I got home.

Might not look like a productive day but to me it was O K.

Read a story for me Big Z

Love your family like there is no tomorrow.

Tuesday Doctors

Sorry I didn't make my blog yesterday. Wasn't able to get to a computer.

Had to carry Minnie to the eye doc today. She is fine. Just a check up.

Called some leads I had purchased and talked with them. Had one lady that wanted to sign up. I was all hopped up until I talked to her more. She is in a rest home and only has $60.00 per month the state allows her to keep from her Social Security. The main thing she needed was someone to talk to. I talked her out of signing up and promised her I would call her once in awhile. We were on the phone well over an hour. Missed a mall but made a friend and I fell good about it.

Did a few of the old leads and contacts. Still some good sounding answering machines.

Tess tell Big Z hello for me.

Hug your family. Tomorrow my be to late.

Friday Windy

We had to go to Brownwood today and help Minnies brother. He has demicha and is nearly wheel chair bound. Stoped in Ballinger and Millersview and cleaned cementary lots. Not bad but sure windy.

Picked up some leads in Brownwood at the Tractor Supply.

Ya'll have a good night and have happy dreams. Hug them younguns first though. Then plant a bug hug on your spouse.

Thursday Funeral

Went to a funeral today. Took up most of the time. One of those you can walk away from and say well done.

Did some follow ups with answering machines. You know I think I am actually making friends with some of them.

Not much to report today. Sorry.

Tina hope you can get into the blogs.

What is the most important part of the day? When you hug your children and tell them you loveum.

Wednesday O K

Well I was going to put some cowboy poetry on but kept saying I had html in it.

Good day not the most productive but it was O. K. Not to much happening. Got some contacts and did the answering machine call. Got some e mails sent out.

Hug your family and count your blessings.

Got it Enjoy

The Rain-Bow

An old man told me a story, one time

He must have been ninety years old

About there’s no turning back on life

And the end of the rain-bow, no pot of gold

He claimed he’d chased his rain-bow

For purt-nigh sixty years

And life was up-hill all the way

With sorrows, regrets, and fears

He had no family to speak of

His life had been rough and lean

But once in a while, he thought of a friend

That he had never seen

Then one day he talked to the friend

He hadn’t talked to in years

The name of the friend is Jesus Christ

Now, no more sorrows, regrets, or fears

Tuesday Warm Great Day.

Started out cold and windy today. Buy lunch it was getting to where you could go without a coat.
Got into the lower 70's after lunch.

Minnie and I went and took the test to be a census taker. Had 28 questions on it and 30 minutes to answer them. Both of us passed but it was harder than I expected. Done got to old to take tests.

Picked up some leads today and worked on old contacts. No brass ring but still on the merry go round trying to hook it.

Get a good nights sleep and hug your children. Don't forget to count your blessings. Tess tell Big Z good night for me.

Monday Cold and Damp

What a dreary day. It was cold and damp with the wind about 20 mph.

Went to the nursing home today to make our checkup. Found everything in good order. They had admitted a new resident and we got to meet some of the family. Enjoyed learning some information about the new resident.

Made some contacts today and did some e mails. Finally got to talk to a live person. She said she was just not interested in MPM. We talked for several minutes then I let her go. It was clear she wanted no part of MPM. Her loss.

Catch Sundays blog for a little laugh.

Hug your children and count your blessings.

Wild Party at My House

Thought you might like something a little different tonight. HOW TRUE IT IS Another year has passed And we're all a little older. Last summer felt hotter And winter seems much colder. I rack my brain for happy thoughts, To put down on my pad, But lots of things, That come to mind Just make me kind of sad. There was a time not long ago When life was quite a blast. Now I fully understand About 'Living in the Past'. We used to go to friends homes, Baseball games and lunches. Now we go to therapy, to hospitals, And after-funeral brunches. We used to have hangovers, >From parties that were gay. Now we suffer body aches And sleep the night away. We used to go out dining, And couldn't get our fill. Now we ask for doggie bags, Come home and take a pill. We used to travel often To places near and far. Now we get backaches >From riding in the car. We used to go out shopping For new clothing at the Mall But, now we never bother... All the sizes are too small. That, my friend is how life is, And now my tale is told. So, enjoy each day and live it up..... Before you're too damn old!! You pass this way only once so enjoy it while you can; Live A Lot, Laugh A Lot and Love A Lot! Thanks Tina for the e mail url for u tube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLiaYYQ4RuA

Saturday Cold

Well it is one day past Boot Camp and here I am filling out a blog. I am going to try and continue with it and hope some of the others do to.

Hope all of you had a Big Red Heart Day. I played it safe and got Minnie a box of candy and a card. I may be crazy but I ain't no fool, I have to live in this house. All jokes aside this has been a great day for Minnie and myself.

Worked on contacts and did some e mails and answering machines today. Saturday is just not a good day for people to be bothered.

Alright guys grab your loved one give her a great big hug and warn tender kiss, then tell her how much you love her.

Hug your children

Friday Last Day

Well this is it. No more Boot Camp. It will be a relief but a sad one to. Made both the calls today and learned a lot about the people who went through the Boot Camp.

Made my contacts today and had a blast doing it. Seemed like the people were just waiting to be told about MPM.

This will be short. Thank you Ginny, Jackie, Tess and all the other Boot Campers. You have been a blessing to me.

Hug your family and tell them how much you love them. Count your Blessings.

Thursday Next to Last Day

Wow time has gotten away from us. We have one day lsft for Boot Camp/ Seems sad in one way but joyful in another. Talked to lots of great people since all this started. Things want be the same not listening to the calls. Heard some interesting stories on those calls.

I made the AM call but I am going to try and make the PM call so I can have a chance to talk to Mr. Z. Not sure it will work out but hopefully it will.

Made my contacts today and did some e mailing. Got several answering machines. One thing about it the machines had a pleasant voice and would talk to you.

If you can't hug your family at least tell them how much you love them. Count your blessings.

Wednesday Clean up yard day

Gracious, the wind sure made a mess. Tree limbs, paper , cans, balls you name it and I think it was in our yard.

Made the AM call and enjoyed it. Sounds as though things are starting to fall in place for some of the NPO's. Great job.

Got my contacts today with a little help from a clerk at the Town & Country. I had stopped to talk to a friend and got to talking to the clerk. She liked the MPM concept and wanted to know more about it. We talked for awhile then she got on the phone and called her daughter and a friend to come listen to what I had to say. It went well I thought.

Two more days until Boot Camp is over. Have mixed feelings about that. Chalk it up as another chapter on my road of life.

Hug your family and count your blessings.

Tuesday Windy

The wind has been awful today. Gusts to 70 mph steady at 50 mph.

Got my contacts today, but sure didn't want to get out in the wind. One lady was trying to put gas in her car so I offered to do it for her. After I was through she went in to pay and we dot to talking and I told her about MPM and how she could have saved money on the gas purchase. She took the info and card, we'll see what happens.

Did some follow up calls and e mails, not to many fish in the pond today. have to try new lure tomorrow.

All in all it was wonderful day.

Tuesday Warm & Sunny

Caught the A M call today. We talked about how you are the one that sets the tone for your day, God gave it to you and it is up to you to make the best of it. Gracious don't stick your head in the sand and whine. For one thing it doesn't help and nobody is going to listen anyway. Always try to find the bright side of things, the dark will jump out anyway.
