Baby's Back








TheBattering Ram-Odot Truck




Damaged side and back window totally smashed. Frame was bent also...I felt nothing, just heard the crash! Now it's beautiful again!

Got my "baby" back after being in repair all summer...the guy is a genius who did it as he had to put the backend of another Volvo onto her. She was hit by an Odot Truck four times or more her size and I got the ticket because I was sitting at the median, though the truck driver had been no where in sight when I pulled out from the stop sign and the sun was in his eyes.
Driving her is a thrill after the Tracker I've been driving to work to save on gas. I own one single stock in Volvo, but plan to buy more. I think they are the best car on the market (we've had several).
This one I bought from an Arab who disappeared after 9/11 and his money backer found the cars from his lot scattered at different airports...so I reported him to the FBI. ---At least I got a beautiful car before he fled!

One Moment That Will Last Forever

Daughter Beth is now in her 30's. She was born with brain damage and at the age of two we had her tiny little Jenny Linde bed next to ours to monitor her as she was on meds. for seizures. I leaned over to check her in the morning and returned to my place in bed. To my surprise, she crawled up on our bed and planted a kiss on my cheek. That has never happened since, but I can tell you it has lived in my mind over and over like a long playing movie. Any parent with a child who displays autistic tendencies and lives in their own world knows what I am talking about. Bonding is such an issue. I hug her, stroke her hair, and bond as much as she will allow. I know she loves me, but have learned to accept she cannot physically respond in kind. Our world is blessed to have her, just the way she is, as we have learned to treasure each and every simple thing life has to offer. God Bless the miracles in our lives!

God Be With Me

  Wednesdays are my day off from husband Bob and daughter Beth...Mostly I run errands. After stopping by our son's house down the road, I returned to the car and saw these sticks forming a cross by my front tire..."God is with me today" I said out loud. Looked for house items and a few things for Bob's birthday next week that will no doubt be returned. He is very hard to buy for...Stopped at Penera for my favorite Broccoli Cheese Soup, before heading home. Once back, I put Beth to bed, and cleaned up after Bob's dog who is not house trained yet. Bob was asleep in bed (or playing possum) so I went online to Facebook where I saw a recipe for Penera's Broccoli Cheese Soup by chance (?). The thing is I used to wonder how people can say God talks to them. Now I feel that if you look for miracles in life you will see puzzle pieces that fit. It can be as simple as a cross, a recipe or something more earth shaking. But all are bits of the life he puts before you...

I'm Back Again...Thanks, Holly

After a year off from this blog, I have decided to come back. Life was slow and I was in a fog since losing sister Martha on my birthday in 2008, but now I am starting to want to live again. Thanks to Holly on Decor 8 for inspiring me tonight to reopen this blog. http://www.decor8blog.com/ She has been a lifesaver to me at times when I felt disconnected from the beauty in this world. Will be posting from time to time again.... Hope you will check back in with me. Love, Marilyn
