Update

Time moved much slower back then

Me and grandpa made sure of that

There was always plenty of time for a nap

When summer turned up the thermostat

The leaves rustling in the warm breeze

Laying in the shade of that old oak tree

We spent many a warm summer afternoon

Resting up for the next fishing spree

Chomping at the bits we could hardly wait

To dig those worms and grab that pole

The best memories were surely made

Sitting on the bank of that old fishing hole

Grandpa would use his old hat for a fan

All the while, telling his stories and tales

He taught me a lot about life in general

While fishing and walking down those pig trails

Awe, our ole dog Buddy, I’ll never forget

Every now and then he’d breakaway

On most days, he wore himself plum out

Oh how he loved to run and play

Running through those thickets and briars

He’d chase those rabbits all day long

Then he’d come and lay down beside us

Those rabbits knew how to string him along

So many things to do and places to be

And we never missed an opportunity

To explore the world and lay in the shade

Grandpa, Ole Buddy and me

I guess everyone thinks I've flown the coop and forgot everyone. Nope, I'm still here, just not as often as I'd like. I want to fill ya'll in on the latest lowdown. I know alot of you have been sending up prayers for me and I'm so humbly grateful to each of you and for your sweet words on my Blog. My Health issues is still ongoing. The latest news is , I went back to one Specialist today to get some Lab work results and found out my body is empty of Vitamin D. Probably been gone for years he says. So, now they are pumping me full of Vitamin D and I'm waiting to see  another Specialist called an Endocrinologist that specializes in Glands. They seem to think it's messed up one of my glands if not all of them. I've had Thyroid Disease for 22 years and it's been showing up good in the Lab Work but the Para Thyroid that lays behind the actual Thyroid may be out of whack or the Pitutiry Gland. It controls alot of things such as the body's Thermostat. The Hypathumas System involves a gland that sits at the base of the brain on the back of the head in the little sunk in place. I know I haven't spelled all of these right but I hope ya'll catch what I mean .

My body Thermostat won't turn off. The heat can get consuming and then it'll lighten up some and come again the next day. I get so sick that I have to lay around alot and do nothing. Nothing never has or never will be my middle name but God has a plan and a time for everything.  I have good days and bad ones. Sooo, maybe one day very soon they'll figure it all out and fix me up and get me back to running or at least moving around more. Strangest thing I've ever had or even heard of. I admit I don't take vitamins like I should but who would've thunk it. 

Many thanks to each of you for your comments and sweet words. I'll try and visit your blogs as often as possible. I sure do miss them and have always looked forward to it. Many thanks to each one for all of the prayers, rest assured ya'll are in my prayers as well and I'll update as I can. Many Blessings, Susie
