Lots of emotions going on and Wordless Wednesday

 Happy Wednesday my bloggie friends. First of all last night I killed a 2ft cottonmouth *snake* in my house, freaked me out so bad I started crying my eyes out.       Because where there is 1 there is 2.  I am ok just freaked me out.   I need out of this rat hole so bad please keep praying.    Somebody I go to church with is coming to mow my lawn this evening so hopefully that will cut down on the snakes.      Today, I memorialized Gator's Facebook page do you know how hard this was to do?  I just felt it was time!      My wordless Wednesday photo in honor of Memorial Day coming up   this is my Paternal Grandparents I never met my grandmother she passed almost a year before I was born and grandpa I was only 8 I just barely remember him, but do know he taught me how to play a mean game of checkers.

I am back

  Thank you all for the comments, sorry for the delay.   I got so overwhelmed after Gator's passing with all the phone calls, paperwork, etc. that I couldn't hardly function.   I am going to start back Sunday with my daily bw photos (current day) there is no way I can get caught back up after almost 2 months.     Mom's health isn't the best, she is needing more care than what I can do,  she is in stage 3 kidney failure, and can NOT be left alone for any period of time as she can't cook for herself, clean up if she has an accident (bathroom) nor can she shower by herself  I would appreciate any prayers, as this effects my move.    Also please pray for me as SS is giving me the run around although I have been deemed disabled thru SS JUDGE in 2019.   My COPD has advanced SS is telling me I am going to have to restart the process of being disabled as circumstances can change and people can get better, however they must not know of heart issues, I am keeping the faith th
