A lot has happened to me since first starting this blog thingy. My 3 older kids have all married now. I have a total of 11 grand kids now. Earlier this year my mother-n-law past away. And then a few months later in June I lost my mother. That was devastating to me. She just went so fast. March she was walking talking and a little goofy in the head due to her stroke. And then all of a sudden she was bed ridden and completely lost in her mind in just 2 months. I was shocked at the drastic change that occurred in such a short time. She is now with her whole family. Aunt Maureen is gone, taken by cancer and Aunt Elsie right after and then Aunt Pat a month or so before mom.

I had a great job working in the home of 2 mentally handicapped guys. That last a few months. Until the lead staff got worried that I was going to take her job from her, so she got me taken out of the house by telling lies to my client's  brother. So the company had no real choice but to remove me from the house. They wanted me to go to another house. But the house they wanted me to go to was not acceptable to me. The female client has really severe behavioral issues that I can not deal with. I truthfully told my employer that I could not take the offer cause I would more than likely end up in jail. So he did not push it.

We (my husband and I ) went on our vacation with my stepson and his new bride to the smokey mountains in Gatlinburg Tennessee. We stayed in the cabin that we first stayed in with mom and dad. It was a little hard on me. But I was able to take comfort in her presence in the cabin. we had such a great time with them. We went September 29th through October 6, 2012. Got to actually see live Bears in Cades Coves this year. Was so cool. I got to brave and got pretty close to take pictures.

Yes I could live in the Smokey Mountains. It is so beautiful there. We relaxed in the hot tub on the balcony at night. And played a pool and shared in laughter. Also got to eat at a few great places in Gatlinburg and at Pigeon Forge. But the first night in the mountain we have to eat at Mel's Diner. We have been there for Three Vacations now. Next year will be number Four. Below are a few vacation pics I would like to share on here.
