GETTING READY FOR MY TRIP!!

MY TRIP TO C.A. IS NOW JUST 4 SHORT DAYS AWAY, AND I AM REALLY GETTING EXCITED!!  AFTER THE MEETING LAST NIGHT A FEW FRIENDS AND I WENT TO JEREMIAH'S FOR SOME ITALIAN ICE.  I HAD THE SUGAR FREE CHERRY, AND IT WAS YUMMY!!  THEN I CAME HOME, PUT MY DOGIES OUT SIDE FOR THE LAST TIME OF THE NIGHT, AND THEN OFF TO BED I WENT.  MY SISTER VICKIE AND I HAVE EARLY MORNING PLANS, AFTER ALL,  IT IS FRIDAY-GARAGE SALES!!  WE WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE DINNER TOGETHER LATER AS WELL.  IT IS SO NICE TO HAVE HER SO CLOSE BY.  PRESLEY IS STILL ON STOOL SOFTENERS, PUMPKIN, AND VERY LITTLE DOG FOOD.  PRISKA IS NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE NEW MENU, BUT SHE IS A TROOPER, AND WILL PRETTY MUCH EAT ANYTHING I GIVE HER.  MY BACK IS DOING MUCH BETTER, BUT IT IS NOT PERFECT AS I HAD HOPED IT WOULD BE.  I AM STILL HAVING SOME LEG PAIN, BUT NOTHING LIKE BEFORE.  I KNOW THE MEDS KEEP WORKING FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER THE PROCEDURE, SO I AM HOPING IT WILL KEEP GETTING BETTER.  I FIND THAT LATELY WHEN EVER I SPEAK OF MIKE I AM MORE LIKELY TO SMILE THEN TO CRY.  WHEN I THINK OF HIM, I TRY AND REMEMBER SOME OF THE FUNNY THINGS WE HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS.  THINGS THAT MADE US LAUGH THEN-STILL MAKE ME LAUGH NOW.  I'M SURE A COUPLE OF HIS BEST FRIENDS (TERRY AND DAR S.) ARE ALSO REMEMBERING THE GOOD OLE DAYS WITH MIKE AS WELL.  HE WAS TRULY ONE OF A KIND!!  I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO TODAY STILL TO GET READY FOR MY TRIP.  I HAVE DONE PRECIOUS LITTLE  UNTIL NOW BECAUSE OF MY BACK AND PRESLEY.  NOW I HAVE TO GET BUSY, AND PACK!!  I HATE TO WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE, AS THEN I ALWAYS FORGET SOMETHING IMPORTANT.  LAST TIME I FORGOT MY PHONE CHARGER!!  THIS TIME I HAVE A CHECK LIST, AND I SURE HOPE I REMEMBERED TO PUT EVERYTHING ON IT.WELL, I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR THIS FRIDAY MORNING.  I HOPE EVERYONES WEEK END WILL BE GREAT. ON A VERY SAD NOTE-FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO KNEW KINDRA AND MICHAEL JACKSON-SHE PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY AFTER OPEN HEART SURGERY.  PLEASE KEEP BOTH HER HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER IN YOUR PRAYERS.  SHE WAS SO YOUNG, BUT WAS A TRUE AND FAITHFUL WITNESS SO WE KNOW WE WILL BE SEEING HER AGAIN SOON......  JUST ME
