Family Crisis

Hi from Mt. Vernon, Illinois....
It's been a very sad week for my family. My Step-father, Marion Reese 75, passed away after battling cancer. I took some time off to fly down to Alabama to be with my Mother.
Two days later, my Grandmother 94, who is like a second Mother to me, started Hospice. Since airline tickets were so expensive, we decided to take a road-trip and drove to Duluth, Minnesota.
A day after that, my Aunt was admitted into the hospital for terminal cancer and admitted into Hospice as well.....
A VERY SAD WEEK FOR ALL MY FAMILY!
An up-side to all of this, is that I got to spend some QUALITY TIME with my Mother. We have had a great time on our road-trip. Plus my kids were able to take time off to be with their Great-Grandma. THANKS KIDS! xoxoxoxo
Our road-trip is almost over.... :( today was a 14 hour drive and tomorrow will be another 8 hours to get me to the Gulfport Airport so I can go back to work in the Philippines. (somebody has to support my boat habit... )
I'm still hoping to have some movies on here soon....! I might get some free time this winter to play around with video.
Cheers!
Keeping the shinny side up and the dirty side down!
