Hi my wifes uncle has a really nice business. Here is some info

about it. I am the author of his web page and update it every week.

Did you know that the Murray Marketplace hosts 150

gospel concerts each year? This makes Ron Murray (owner) one of the

largest southern gospel promoters in our nation. Murray Marketplace has served

guests from over 20 countries and can take reservations up to 220

people.A young enterprise with real old fashioned flavor. We take a

personal sense of accomplishment in maintaining our standards or

excellence. Short-cuts are shunned in favor of time-honored and

time-tested methods.

reading of all of you and your field trips with your kids...I did all

of that...long before there was even anything given to me for the MS

exacerbations. I would exacerbate...which was nothing as I think

of it now, but the exacerbation would always come with a sinus

infection or a stressful time like holidays and running to the school

for events, etc.

I went to a farm with my middle daughter when she was 11...she is 23

now. I don't know how I managed that. I had "balance" but I do remember

being so exhausted from the errand. We had such a great time. I need to

write down what I did so that when I am feeling like its all "GONE"...I

realize I had a great time then...and I knew it. i have pictures I need

to organize...that would help.

I miss my three girls something awful. they are just off on their merry

ways, one working, two in school...they don't tell me much of their

Love lives because they don't want my disapproval, they are sure I

wouldn't approve and don't even give me an opportunity to do so. They

call me and ask me how I am...kind of a perfunctory, need to call mama

thing. I would guess in 5 years, our relationship will change again and

they may want me around more. They do discuss between them how I am and

will call when I am not doing well. They are really kind of cute about

that.

I am not "expecting" a whole lot from them for the holidays. I will

invite them to come to set up the tree after Thanksgiving, and if they

don't bite, no big deal. I think my hubby and I will have to have some

friends over and learn how to be "people" separate from raising

kids...awful to say that but that is where we are at...We have some

worth, we just have to find out WHERE...

We used to teach religion, bible study. We used to lead prayer groups,

etc. Now, well, my health doesn't allow much. But, we are starting a

new road. he is letting me teach him to play guitar. I am learning

violin. Our house sounds like the musicians of BREMEN in the

evenings...funny funny funny. We really enjoy it and laugh at each

other.

time for the simple stuff...

I'm in a good place...

Keep the stories coming...

i wish you guys had been around when i went through my spinal tap.

the neuro then tells me, you have ms and most people just learn to live

with it...HE had nothing at all to say to me about what the disease was

or anything...I left him feeling so annoyed I could have spit nails...I

didn't go back to him. I got the diagnosis and left...My hubby and I

had a 90 minute drive home after the spinal tap...I am lying down in

the front seat trying to avoid the "headache" and my husband says...I

guess you should start looking for a job sooner rather than later...i

was just incredulous...I was a stay at home mom, we had made plans

for me to stay that way and he is telling me I should go to work soon,

so we can have more money because I wouldn''t be able to earn any

later....GEEEEZZZ!

I laugh about it now. but I sure could have used you guys to laugh the

"event" of the spinal tap off.

i had another occasion where i went to a hospital 50 miles away from

home for an MRI. I was in the "tank" for 50 minutes and the MRI machine

BROKE. So, I went home and was scheduled for my MRI the following week.

That was an event too. Too much. Meanwhile of course, i go home, I make

meals, i make Christmas stuff, etc.

I crafted so much stuff over the years...not even thinking twice about

it. Now, i look at my "stuff" and cannot think about what next...hard

to finish anything, and I want to start new stuff...Big deal...It is

all small stuff...it only gets stressful if I let it.

i'm done...

Like i said, keep the stories coming...they certainlyhelp me to

reminisce and remember that we are a very BRAVE lot...
