Howdy All!!

I cannot express the appreciation for all of your Good Wishes in this difficult time! You all have worked together to keep the shop going and even the track has been posted in as well!!

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

The doctors tell me this isn't over. I have some more outpatient testing. But I know now that all of my friends will stay alert and keep greeting each other! It is one less worry in knowing this.

I promise to get stronger each day and to be here when possible!! That's all I can do.

But Thank You also for your patience!

To all of my friends... YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST!!

God Bless!!

It all happened at the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius! Where we all cared about our brothers and sisters!
So what happened after we left the garden?? Do we need another GARDEN?

Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.

Happy 4th of July Everyone!!

But some folks I see have put up memorial photos to remember the military. I've seen graveyards with flags and memorial statues with flags and graveside wreaths.

FOLKS THE 4th of July is not about the military giving lives or efforts!

The Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4 , 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain . Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks , parades , barbecues , carnivals , picnics , concerts , and various other public and private events celebrating the history of our government, and traditions of the United States.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!! 

For Your Celebrating Pleasures!

AND TO AVOID THE MOSQUITOS!! LOL

• The famous Macy's fireworks display over the East River in New York City has been televised nationwide on NBC since 1976.
• Since 1973, the Boston Pops Orchestra hosts a music and fireworks show over the Charles River Esplanade. In recent years it too is televised nationwide as “Pops Goes the Fourth.”
• On the Capitol lawn in Washington, D.C., “A Capitol Fourth,” a free concert, precedes the fireworks and attracts over half a million people annually.

     Sometimes, when times are rough and you can't see into tomorrow, friends are who can pull you through. I came to AARP almost a year ago and made MANY wonderful friends! We built a group, the Coffee Shop, and played in a little group called Nascar Fans Group. Everyday, we came to realize that we were all here together and we leaned on each other.

     Sometimes the times were great! There was the constant banter between a rough and gruff old Trucker and his sassy waitress entertained a shop full of patrons will they enjoyed waking to all of the commotion.

     Other times, there were topics to discuss and information to be learned. The news was current. The facts were supported and everyone had an opinion. Of course, not everyone agreed and most often they disagreed, but the conversation was always uplifting!

     And then there were jokes!! From the Classics to the profound, everyone found a way to be entertained!

Then one day, one or two decided it was time to end the fun. It only takes ONE or TWO. All of the fun DISAPPEARED.

     But those were the good old days. Who knows, maybe one day they will come back. You can never tell! NOW, there is a new group, and a NEW MAN! Who knows what our destiny may hold, but for now, there are no clouds high enough, no rumors hurtful enough to clip my wings!! I soar daily... across the expanse of ocean we call home.

     As for me, I will NEVER forget those who were a BIG PART of the good times!!

     And even though I am still unable to post small graphics to bring you smiles, from this you will know you are still in my heart!!

     God Bless You All!!

May you gain a smile each day you visit your profile and search your friends' profile!!

Sincerely,

Twinkness
