It's Just the Wind

-
It is a beautiful Sunday afternoon. It is very quiet now as the grandchildren have all left and Hubby is working back at the farm. I like being alone as long as I know it is not permanent. I have not done much other than a little laundry and the always unpleasant task of mopping the floors.


Again, I apologize for the picture quality. I am reluctant to invest in a good camera or even to invest in the time needed to upgrade my iPhone. And yes, Elizabeth, I will get around to it eventually.

I wanted you to see and hear the wind blowing in the pine trees. It seems so pleasant to me - just a soft, gentle breeze making a quiet whisper through the trees. There is a pretty cardinal up there but it did not photograph well.

Then.....do you notice the picture has a slight jerking motion to it? That is my hand tremor. It is a family thing that is not much more than a nuisance.

But now, my eyelid has started twitching. So, like I know you all do as well, I punch in hand tremor and eye twitching to get my computer generated diagnosis. It came back with Schizophrenia and an advertisement for Prozac. I wonder what I would get if I added in ears ringing?

Someone in the family went to see Dr. Lane (you remember, he is the "Looking For A Husband Diet" doctor) and after proceeding to tell him what she had, he bluntly asked, "Now do you want to hear my diagnosis?"

    My husband has a tremor, down thru his family ...it is called essential or familial tremor. There are some meds that do give some relief.

    That is some howling wind ... we have it here today also, touched with some brief snow showers.

    I hope you will pop by to help us bring 'angel love' for a young girl who is sick.

    Thank you.
    Have a beautiful week ~

    I am so hesitant about typing health problems in to the internet. It always scares the heck out of me. I hope this isn't anything very serious. Let us know what you find out - or if it goes away. We had that wind here today. Hope it goes away for both of us.

    In general I don't like wind but I must admit it sounded good on the video. I hope you haven't been affected by the tornados that we have seen on the news.

    Oh, so much for self diagnosis. Don't we all
    do it?
    Without a tripod it is very hard not to have
    a trembling video! I love the calming sound of
    the wind in your trees. It could put a lady to sleep!

    So peaceful there...I need a better camera too, I know but the new sewing machine will come first! I know what you mean about those medical sites online...it'll make you worry about ridiculous things if you aren't careful! :-)

    At our last house, I loved to hear the wind up high in the pine trees! I, too, have essential tremor in my hands. Scared me at first, cause my dad had Parkinson's.
    You have been such a great supportive blog friend...just wanted to let you know I'm taking an extended break from my blog but I'll still be checking in with you. God bless.

Happy Birthday Baby Sister

-

Today is my sister's birthday. I was not quite nine and Mama was twenty five when she was born. Mama was much older at twenty five when she had Freda than I was when I had my daughter at that age. Mama was sick before, during, and for quite a while after this last baby was born. I remember she mostly ate only toast and jelly. Our OKC Grandma came to stay with us while Mama was in the hospital and stayed long enough to help Daddy move into a different house before they brought Freda home. We always rented. Speaking of rent houses...we looked at a really pretty house on Sevier Street while I was still in grade school. It had a big picture window and enough bedrooms that we would not have to share. Daddy said we could not get it because the rent was $100.00 a month. I do not remember what should have been the memorable event of bringing a baby sister home from the hospital. I do remember Grandma staying a little while and asking me to take a dish back to a neighbor at the end o

A Beautiful Day

My brother in law gave this to me for my birthday. We share a love of birds and flowers. He is in the nursing home - slowly recovering from a stroke. He probably needs this more than I do now. Maybe Freda should take it to him. Wouldn't he just love to be sitting out here on this gorgeous day? Arkansas is beautiful.

A Salmon Pink and Grey Car?

This looks like a picture of my Mama's brother Bob. It may be her Uncle Glenn. I'm not sure who the girl is. I do not remember Mama saying she rode on a motorcycle with her brother but she did say she loved riding on her Uncle Glenn's motorcycle. Shortly before she passed away, she asked my husband to take her for a ride on his bike. She chickened out after we got there.  This picture of me and my OKC Grandma was taken at Lake Ludwig. I look like a little monkey up there. I wonder whose DeSoto that was? This is an Easter picture of us in front of an old salmon pink and grey Chevrolet car. This is the car my uncle would slide down into the floorboard in fear someone would see him in a pink car. SAID UNCLE This is not my "three words the whole bus ride to OKC Uncle." This is the one that took me to the movies one time. Although he did not actually stay in the theater with me, he did come back to pick me up. The movie was not quite
