BACK FROM VA - WOW MOMENTS

WE HAD AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TIME IN VA WITH OUR DAUGHTER & FAMILY. NAT & I WENT SHOPPING FOR HOURS WITH 3 EXCITED TEENS & ACTUALLY SURVIVED! THE GRADUATION WAS FABULOUS & I GOT TO THINKING HOW JUST 18 MONTHS AGO, I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO ... ALL THE WALKING & STANDING & SUCH ... NOW, I HANDLE EVERYTHING WITH EASE! WOW! IT'S SO GREAT BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANYTHING & EVERYTHING ... WE WERE SLAM BUSY ALL DAY LONG ... UP EARLY, DROVE UP TO THE GRADUATION WHICH WAS A COUPLE HOURS THEN DASHED OFF TO TAKE OUR GRANDSON TO HIS BASEBALL GAME, THEN BACK TO CHANGE & UP THE ROAD ABOUT AN HOUR WE GO WITH HYPER GRANDKIDS IN TOW TO NATALIE'S GRADUATION DINNER, THEN BACK DOWN THE ROAD WITH HYPER GANDKIDS IN TOW AGAIN STOPPING AT THE FUN PARK ... &, THEN HOME FOR THE EVENING. SPEAKING OF THAT ... OUR GRANDKIDS WANTED TO GO TO THE FUN PARK SO OFF WE ALL WENT & HERE ARE "PaPaw" & "MaMaw" IN THE GO CARTS RACING AROUND THE TRACK RIGHT ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE, BUMPIN' & PUSHIN' & HAVIN' A GREAT TIME ... &, MY BACKSIDE FIT IN THE SEAT JUST FINE, THANK YOU! THE GO CARTS WERE REAL LOW ALMOST ON THE GROUND & I COULD SCOOTCH DOWN TO GET IN & HOIST MYSELF UP OUT OF THEM WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM. IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO WE WERE NON-STOP FROM THE TIME WE LEFT UNTIL WE GOT HOME & THEN WE STILL HAD ENERGY TO GET DINNER & UNPACK. AAAWWWHHH, LIFE IS GOOD! GOD BLESS Y'ALL ... DAWN & NICk

Its so funny to think of all the NEW things WLS has allowed people to do. Amazing actually! Congratulations on the WOW moments. I cant wait to have my own one of these days!!!

YOU WILL HAVE A GAD-ZILLION OF WOWOWOWOW MOMENTS, MS CRYSTAL! EVERYTHING FROM PAINTIN' YOUR OWN TOENAILS, TO DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT BEING IMPALED ON THE STEERING WHEEL, TO WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY WALKING FASTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE, TO WHEN YOUR BATH TOWEL FITS ALL THE WAY AROUND YOU ... ALL SORTS OF THINGS. IT IS JUST TOO COOL THE CHANGES & SUCCESSES YOU WILL EXPERIENCE. BE SURE TO SHARE THEM WITH US! WE CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ALL OF THEM & RELIVE OURS AS WELL! GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

That is great! I am so happy for you. A couple of years ago, we went to Frankie's with family that was visiting. I rode NOTHING. I stood on the sidelines holding and watching everyone's purses. Same thing at Carowinds. NOW? You can't keep me off the rides. Someone else has to be the bag watcher!! I'm riding!! This tool is amazing and life changing.

I WAS PROBABLY THE ONE SITTIN' DOWN NEXT TO YOU AT FRANKIE'S ... STANDING WASN'T AN OPTION FOR ME. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. I MUST'A LOOKED ABSOLUTELY SILLY GOIN' ROUND THAT TRACK - I HAD A SMILE A MILE WIDE & I'M RUNNIN' UP ON NICKY'S BUMPER BUMPIN' INTO HIM & HE'S LAUGHING SO HARD ... HE TOOK HIS STRAW COWBOY HAT & WORE IT SIDEWAYS LIKE A DORK JUST TO GET ME TO LAUGHIN' ... WE WERE LIKE KIDS AGAIN! OH YEAH, I JUST LEFT MY PURSE IN THE CAR & STUFFED SOME MONEY IN NICK'S POCKET ... NO MORE STANDIN' ON THE SIDELINES FOR US, GIRLFRIEND! GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

That is so awesome Dawn... You are an inspiration... I so can't wait to have my surgery and looking forward to my next rollercoaster ride... ~ Deidre

Welcome Home, Double D. Really glad to know you had such a wonderful time and were able to "live" those special moments with your grandkids. (I can't WAIT!!!!) I love the picture in my head of you and Nick in the go-carts!

Wow Dawn I was getting exhausted reading your post on all the things you did LOL thats fantastic, Im so happy you had a great time. Its wonderful having all the energy to do all those things you could never do before. Well sounds like you and Nick had the time of your life with your family and thats what life is all about Im going away this Saturday to Albuquerque NM with my hubby who has business there, but Im going to visit with my cousin who I havent seen in over 25 yrs. We keep in touch, but its taken this long to finally get to see each other. Im really excited and this is the first time hubby and I will be traveling together and going away just the two of us I hope we have as much fun as you and Nick We all need to get out more and do more fun things. I think it helps keep us feeling young Take Care and God Bless Denise
