Great trip to Michigan over July 4th weekend.Tonight we are reading the journal's that Bob had us all write. What a great way to remember the vacation from 5 perspectives.<br />This weekend is wretched- we are moving Marne home, cleaning out Mom's condo. Bob leaves Monday to get Mom and help her move!<br />Today we got to see Jon be installed as a Sr. Counselor in DeMolay. I'm so very proud of him! Went over to help Marne (she is having a melt down moment) got a lot done, and then on the way home, we talked about his term as Master Counselor. Looking forward to this next year!<br />Going to try and upload and update more frequently.<br /><br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-45429987361018326772010-04-02T19:13:00.002-05:002010-04-02T19:26:16.316-05:00Good FridayGood Friday!!<br /><br />Today, I finished training with Shirley for Transitional Coach. Monday I start with a couple of members already enrolled, and ready for me to follow.<br /><br />This weekend we will be blessed with a visit from my cousin Jane and her family and my Great Aunt Bernice! We are not ready at all- but I'm sure we'll pull it together tonight.<br /><br />Bob and Jon have been busy today- they bought a new twin bed (for company and then for Jon) and a yard tractor! Bob mowed the yard today in about 1/2 hour- usually takes us 3-5 hours pushing it. How nice it will be to have those hours and days back this summer!<br /><br />Kelsey worked her butt off today, went to the grocery store, and began prep for Easter meal. What a huge help that was!<br /><br />Dixie enjoyed the frisbee in the newly mown yard.<br /><br />So, tomorrow I get my nails done, shop for Easter treats, (shower stuff), and finish preparation for company! What a great weekend! <br />Also looking forward to next weekend, my MOM will be here and Kelsey's baby shower! Hard to believe Jaxon will be coming in about 1 month! Off to clean up a little!<br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-80619109551021525642010-03-31T18:31:00.002-05:002010-03-31T19:07:29.062-05:00Windy WednesdayHUMP day!! HORRAY!!<br /><br />Pray for Pastor Mike and Lillian they need their car fixed.<br /><br />Kelsey did a great job today cleaning up the house! It's starting to look like my place again...starting.<br /><br />Cousin Jane and her family should be visiting this weekend! What a welcome surprise!<br /><br />Bob leaves soon to get Mom! The logistics are tough, getting a bed here, getting her stuff here from there.... the baby shower the same weekend.... yeah life keeps me busy!<br /><br />Dancing with the Stars- last night Shannon Doughtry left, thought Kate Gosslin probably should have gone before her, but, I guess TLC fans are more devoted than 90210 fans.<br /><br />Today, Shirley and I went to Vanderbilt. It was fun (in a weird way) got to see 2 members with Sickle Cell anemia. The thing with SS crisis is pain management. These two members have been in and out of the hospital about every 2-3 weeks. One of them was obviously still in crisis and heavily medicated. I wish I knew what nursing interventions I could suggest that would keep these members out of the hospital, but I'm sure if Vanderbilt doctors can't do it-neither can I.<br /><br />Then we went to Select Specialty Hospital (near Baptist Hospital) to see a mbr that I used to care for when I worked at the ministry. The member was found unconscious at home, and now is on a vent, and must have private duty nursing if discharged home. When I walked in the member was alert, and seemed to recognize me. It was a good feeling.<br /><br />We got to go to the hospital and read the chart, lay eyes on the mbr, and document specific information. These cases that I'll be sent on, are to gather information so that the Medical director and panel makes determinations if the mbr qualifies for Private Duty Nursing (PDN)paid by TennCare/Medicaid.<br />Most of the mbrs that are in PDN are ventilator dependant, feeding tubes, etc.<br /><br />I love how I will be investigating and gathering medical information, I still have face to face contact with members, compile the information, submit it and then be done and onto the next case. I think I'll like that!<br /><br />That's it for tonight, need to get going on my 1 hour of housework and then IDOL results!<br /><br />Thanks for reading.<br /><br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-55378543831415970422010-03-29T20:10:00.002-05:002010-03-29T20:35:02.290-05:00My MondayMonday Monday... Mama's and papa's song always runs through my head ...(thanks Mom)<br /><br />Today was a good day, mostly...<br /><br />Shirley and I saw 2 clients today. One was in Nashville, and he had SIX cats running around. They thoughtfully put their two dogs up while we talked. Anyway, this man had the biggest housecat I think I have ever seen! It wasn't a tabby, but Garfield has NOTHING on this cat! It's name was "fat cat" and I swear it probably weighs about 19 pounds! It was almost 3 feet long, and as round as it was wide...well, it seems like it. It was funny, they had this little kitten their that was a speed demon.. jumped off the chairs, was climbing around and knocking stuff on the floor, then it would run to the door that was holding the dogs back, and seeing the dog's noses poke out underneath..would swipe at them to put them in their places.<br /><br />We ran into the office, and said Hi, but I didn't get to check my email or anything. oh well.<br /><br />The next client, was in Murfreesboro. This guy has been dealt a hard deal, a MVA left him disabled. Anytime there is a trauma like that, leaves a body at risk for so many complications and problems.<br /><br />We came back to Shirley's home office and started doing what we do. We enter all our data etc.. In my new job, I have access to a "census" for all the area hospitals, I have found 2 of my former Graceworks Clients. Both of them I worked with since we began the Parish nurse program. I know that my nurses don't follow these members but part of me wonders if their health issues (both are serious, one is on a vent) if they would have had those at this time had we been able to continue our PN program. Guess we'll not know, but I am excited to have the chance to see them in my new capacity one more time.<br /><br />Dinner with Bob at TGIFridays, He got a lot taken care of today, found out about our health insurance was inappropriately cancelled when he retired. They will "fix" it in 5-20 days...oh GOODIE!<br /><br />I came home and cleaned my horrible dirty bathroom.- for an hour and STILL not done, cleaning out drawers etc..so that's why it took longer. Tomorrow night I'll finish that-<br />BUT, I get to watch DWTS!! WOOO HOOO.<br /> So I need to get to the Y this week. ... maybe tomorrow night?<br /><br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-78863746928648098882010-03-27T20:44:00.003-05:002010-03-27T21:05:45.481-05:00Super SaturdayToday was such a pretty day outside!<br />I got to the eye doctor again finally and got my contacts just about perfect now. I had some that weren't working. Then I went SHOPPING!! I went to my favorite clothes store Avenue in Cool Springs. They have such nice stuff and reasonably priced! I got 3 new Tees, 3 linen shirts, 2 capri pants for work, and one for lounging,2 new pair of cloudwalker sandles (appropriate for work), a new silver purse, all for under $250! Then I went to the Party Store in preparation for Kelsey's baby shower in 2 weeks. I won't write what I got (in case she peeks here) but just say I got a few cute things. Next, I went to Michael's-- one of my favorite stores! I got a few more things for the shower, (of course a little sumethin for scrapbooking - on sale). I went to the YMCA - Bob rejoined there a couple days ago, I didn't take time to exercise today, but we hope to go tomorrow. I was on my way to Walgreens..when I called Bob, he was going to a movie over in Smyrna at our favorite theater Malco, so I drove as fast I as could legally could and made the 4:55 PM. movie of Hot tub Time machine... yeah, probably not on my top 10 wish list but John Cuzak..what more needs to be said?<br />That's a busy day! I relaly enjoyed being outside today..tomorrow A few more errands after church, the Y, then a little housekeeping and call it a weekend!<br />But I have 2 goals for April.<br />1) Exercise 3x week<br />2) do housework or yard work 1 hour/day my house and yard both need it and I think I'll feel better about certain things.<br />So, now that I've blogged it, it's out the cybershere.... hold me to it!<br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-53337778123928725422010-03-26T21:14:00.002-05:002010-03-26T21:44:26.640-05:00Back on blog!Well this has been a long time coming! SO much has happened in the past 6 months!<br />Since I have been on Facebook, I never get to post here...from now on I want to keep this going! Blog promise.... is that like pinkie swear??<br />Anyway....<br /><br />The biggest thing is my sweet Grandma Audrey and My Uncle Bob passed away in January. It has been the saddest of times, and it hits me in waves of sadness and loss. I rejoice knowing they are together in heaven, and with Jesus- but the depth of my loss is still unknown to me. I don't think I've hit the bottom even yet, as life whisks me along daily but in those quiet moments in the dark night, when sleep aludes me, it hits me so hard and there is nothing to do but feel it, and move through it, and pray for it to pass.<br /><br />The next biggest thing is about to happen! My daughter Kelsey is weeks away from delivering our new Grandson Jaxon Charles! We will welcome him into our family sometime in late April/early May. Her baby shower is April 11th at the church.<br /><br />Yesterday, Bob bought a new truck! 2009 Chevy Silverado.<br />Going back in time to record the Allen family changes, Bob has retired from GM as of December 1st. He got a voucher to purchase a new vehicle and God provided this new truck within the voucher credit.<br /><br />Going back further- in November I tried my hand at writing my novel in an internet site challenge <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.com/">www.nanowrimo.com</a> I was successful for 6000'ish words. I really want to continue to write this story...life again has continued to sweep me along...someday huh?<br /><br />I have another loss in November. My friend Dorene, and I had words over this writing challenge. It was immature and petty (on both parts) and we have decided to part ways. This is very sad for me, my friendship with her spanned 35+years. We have been through the birth of our children, changes in jobs, in relocations, and grown together spiritually as we challenged each other to know God deeper. It was the one relationship I could be brutally honest, and know it was ok....until it wasn't. I had to look at my own failings, I say things before my brain can filter...I do that to my husband as well and recently have felt the sting of that as well. What is it that there isn't a 3 second delay between my thoughts and my mouth? I would have been spared alot of sadness and spared those I care about a lot of hurt feelings. When I see God I hope I remember to suggest that in the next models of humans... I digress<br />Dorene, I pray the best for you, I pray that you find the fullfillment of your heart, the love you deserve and peace of God. I pray for your family- every day still. Your children are very precious to me. God bless.<br /><br />The new job.... well it's been 6 months, I am now on my second manager, someone in Memphis that I haven't met yet (except on the phone and via email) I am in training for a new aspect of my job, Transitional Coach- that is a pilot program to reach our Complex Care cases in the hospital and following them home to make sure they have the correct meds, appointments and resources..following them for 1 month and then referring them in the appropriate matter, either case management or disease education. The second part of my new job is PDN field assessments. I do a one time specific assessments to see if the member needs nursing services in the home in continuous type care... an example is a child that has a birth defect such as Cerabal Palsy, that is on a ventilator, feedings with a seizure disorder and living at home. Certainly, this child would be one that might need extended nursing care So what I do is document specific things, so that the powers that be make the decision if our tax dollars support this member. Glad I don't make the decisions! Many of these cases come up for lawsuits- especially when services are denied when they once were receiving services. Documentation is key. Glad I had a really good mentor! Shirley and I are working together still this next week so I can help her with Complex care Case Managment. <br />Whew! that brings you up to date!<br /><br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-5384316040463122632009-10-21T23:08:00.002-05:002009-10-21T23:16:49.310-05:00todayOk today, I was in "Immersion" training. I've been well taught- as I was teaching the instructor how to send a fax from the computer- correctly according to the NEW policy! Yeah me and my mentor!! Thanks Robin!<br /><br />I ate outside by myself today and enjoyed some fresh air and people watching untill.....<br />I saw this young-ish woman (maybe in her late 20's or 30's can't tell) walking between the two buildings, I thought from a distance she was smoking, but as she passed by me to go into the buiding behind me, Inoticed she was SUCKING HER THUMB! Not only that, she was moving her other fingers like she was playing the Trumpet! She removed her thumb long enough to open the outside door, and stuck it back into her mouth as she entered the room. HOW crazy is that?? FLu season- to old to suck your thumb, she MUST have been having a bad day.<br /><br />I am working on my first assignment! George- a guy living south of where I live, very sick young man- born the same year I graduated from high school, maybe even the same DAY! Talk about irony...anyway, really nice guy. Friendly, I am enjoying working with him. I am still getting all my drives, programs and software set up- after a month being there. I wish I was smart enough to know how to do my job without all the questions, but I know that's part of the learning process.<br /><br />I just joined Nano-write-more writing contest Marne has been yakking about for a year. I found the notebook with the sketches of my "someday book" we'll see. This contest- there is no tangible prize but perhaps something that might resemble something that gets published... but you write 50,000 words in the month of November. We'll see if I have that many words in me!<br /><br />Off to bed, I want to get up and start chili- but it's looking like no so far tonight. :(<br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-18169470396887991342009-10-18T22:59:00.003-05:002009-10-18T23:11:00.651-05:00HELLO blog!<br /><br />I missed you!!<br />Time has zoomed by and I've been very behind- in LIFE!<br />Let's see, Mom was here, bought a condo- close tomorrow!<br />Found a place for Uncle Bob- one waiting list!<br />Zoomed up to Iowa for a quick trip - moved my sweet grandma into a nursing home where she was comforted to know she was there. She said "not much longer" very sad! BUT, a month later and she's still kickin!<br />Got to see family again- always fun.<br />Started a new job- Nurse Case Manager for Americhoice with United Health Care. I am in intensive training the next two weeks..<br />Kelsey is sick- has been for a few weeks.<br />Marne has the flu this weekend.<br />Jon - trouble! Looking forward to Oct 26 to be behind us<br />Bob is having gout attacks and is suffering.<br />We bought a new (slightly used) Sleep number bed- I'm a 50! LOL<br />I bought a new laptop! I'm looking into Nano Write more on the prompting of Marne- challenge to write 50K words in November. I've always thought my idea of a book would be interesting- probably only to me but what a kick it would be to do it.<br />I am enjoying my laptop! Can't wait to buy Photoshop sometime. I also have dreams about a new cell phone- debating about an iPhone or back to the crackberry....<br /><br />Now I have to go to bed, because I work tomorrow and I should be sleeping!<br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-58384729188367111092009-08-28T07:59:00.003-05:002009-08-28T08:25:22.728-05:00Change is a happenin!I've missed you blog!<br /><br />Back up= need a little catch up time, since last we chatted. Mom and I have scoped out the PERFECT place for her, and for Uncle Bob when it comes time for them to move! She is bidding on a condo about 15 miles from here- EASY access to us, to shopping, and to Bob's place! Uncle Bob- will qualify for senior housing! We are submitting the bid for mom's today, and if accepted, we are putting Bob on the waiting list. They will literally be about 5 blocks from each other! Long term this is good for me- as they need more attention- I can see both and not have to travel far at all. I think it's a good place for Bob- lots of guys just sitting around outside, he'll have plenty to talk to, and get to know. Walmart is about 1/2 mile away- and for now, he's able to walk that and help himself in many ways.<br />Mom's place is adorable! She'll have three bedrooms to stuff, and a garage! She'll have her craft room available and no yard work to worry about. I think it scares her, and I can see some anxiety in realizing that she can't have all that she has now, but I'm praying that this will release her from the bondage of so much clutter.<br /><br />yesterday- was a great and horrible day. Started off Mom and I were going to go shopping, got a call that will change our lives at least for the last half of this year. Jon is in trouble at school again. Without going into it here, he is attending Smyrna West now (the alternative school) we've been down this road once with him before, and his story doesn't add up. Something is "hinky" as my old boss Cheryl would say. I just ache in knowing what he's done to himself. Losing his position in JROTC, his friends, and his pride. Stupid decisions- the boy must learn life the hardest way possible it seems.<br /><br />Then I got a GREAT call!! I got offered one of the two jobs I'm most interested in! The pay is at the top of what they are able to offer- it is a Diabetes Educator for Public Health. This is not a glamourous job by any means- LOTS of hard work, but I'm excited for the challenge! Really was hoping for the HIGHER paying job, but I'm excited for this opportunity as well! God has ABSOLUTELY blessed me beyond my hopes!<br /><br />Last night, I attended the advisory council board meeting. What a mixed bag of emotions that is! I am angry at my former boss, for many reasons, some of them personal. I felt that I was on outsider for the first time in years. I am moved to a few key points- none of which I can go into here.<br /><br />more later<br /><br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-83117557732823426022009-08-17T17:04:00.002-05:002009-08-17T17:14:47.113-05:00Blog abandonThis has been one heck of a ride!<br />Today is the first day- unemployed! I left Graceworks- to go back into nursing. (that's the company line) I'll leave it at that- those who want to know more- email me.<br /><br />I found out I was going to be leaving last week. I applied for about 4 or 5 jobs online. I've had one in person interview- with a second interview scheduled next week, one phone interview with a pending back ground check should hear about that either today or tomorrow... have another interview scheduled for Wednesday, and declined further investigation on one job. The last job I applied for- ended up not hiring at the moment. No further action needed.<br /><br />I have gotten my new cell phone- my old one. I gave up the blackberry- that was more difficult than leaving the job! I am a crackberry addict! Bob and I agreed, until I find a job and see what it demands (and pays) will determine if I get a new phone or not on our plan. Drooled at the iPhone! and AT&T has blackberrys too- I drooled on those as well.<br /><br />I got a lot done today (so far) 3 loads laundry, dishes, fed cats, emptied trash, read two Sunday papers, walked on tread mill for 1/2 mile- not a lot of walking but I started! Had lunch with my friend Angela and daughter Kelsey- activated phone *see above, went to old job and turned in phone, and picked up paycheck, went to bank, got notary to sign paperwork for Jon, and tonight is bible study!<br /><br />Mom is coming in three days- I have MEGA house work to do....in between tomorrow's meeting for HMA, and going out for drinks later that evening after everyone else works. Guess I better have a productive morning!<br /><br />I have to find my phone charger tonight, find my camera charger tonight- since breaking up my office things are a little helter skelter here- nothing that a week of hard work won't fix--- if I had a week!<br /><br />So here's to new beginnings!! Praying for the best- and expecting nothing less!!<br />Maybe I'll have a little time to scrapbook???<br /><br /><br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-40799076747348623372009-07-01T17:34:00.002-05:002009-07-01T17:50:34.559-05:00Blog neglectMan- has it really been this long on my blog??<br />I can't believe how time has flown by!<br /><br />Facebook has become my new addiction- cuz I can do it from my black berry- blogging takes time in front of the keysboard and not on Farmtown which is a game on facebook. The addictions I pour into!!<br /> I really don't have a lot to say for the blog, My status is on my face book pages sometimes twice a day. I enjoy the now 211 friends I have-and hearing how their day is going...<br /><br />I am really looking forward to the High school reunion. I needed something to look foward to these days. With Change comes a lot of strife- and I'm strifing right now through my job, but the horizon may look brighter the closer I get to it- right now it feels miles away.<br /><br />Bob and my financial future are fluxing- he's retiring August 1st. It's been great having him home, seeing him more relaxed and happy than I've seen him in a LONG TIME! But we've both had a few sleepless nights over finances and the future.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Mathew McConehey (sp) and Jennifer (Gardner)Aflack. We really enjoyed it!</div><div></div><div><strong>Saturday before Mother's Day</strong>- I spent most of the day at Work- doing the annual Postal food drive- (see pictures above) about 550 bags of food were collected. (I think-total count isn't finished yet) It was muggy but at least our prayers were answered- NO rain!</div><div></div><div><strong>Sunday</strong>- My dd and ds went to church with me, then oldest dd and I did something totally cheesey- we sang Kareoke to Mama Mia! LOL We cracked each other up! DH and Ds went to Star Trek, DD went to Ren fest- I sat on porch, read and facebooked.</div><div>Later that evening dh &ds bring back rotisserie chicken and instant potatoes, and we have dinner- no cake or pie :( Here is the not good part- dh didn't take ds out to buy anything AND did not have a gift for me either. Before I sound totally like a shrew here- it's not the gift- its the effort and the thought! HE (DH) GOT ME NOTHING!! and what's worse- he didn't help ds get me anything. My middle dd is throwing a scrapbooking crop all day next Saturday for me at our church. Marne got me a beautiful photo she shot, mounted and signed (even if it was of me- what she wrote was very beautiful) and a couple of "mommy books" that I know I'll enjoy looking at.</div><div>I did call my mom (and step mom) and talked to my mom for a long while- she called while visiting my Grandma- poor Grandma- she can't really hear well enough to carry on a conversation and she asks "how are you doing" about 30 times- I miss my Grandma I grew up with- not the debilitated lady that now lives in my Grandma's body. Bitter sweet. </div><div></div><div><strong>Back to work today</strong>- drove the Graceworks TRUCK to Nolensville to pick up another food drive! </div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI3A8wnFgS1IVL2UhSCPQ6icRUoHfARmcU1t-C3-gWosYHw0XAYRa5cR8PCNUIYnuVGniwclUXX0aT2SCTbj1JpAJstTgm5wuRPMQa4UpurudKgVUj5AsqXWzrnGsBzwQlnXj2oWWl3Hw/s1600-h/Graceworks+Truck.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334687386194431506" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 122px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI3A8wnFgS1IVL2UhSCPQ6icRUoHfARmcU1t-C3-gWosYHw0XAYRa5cR8PCNUIYnuVGniwclUXX0aT2SCTbj1JpAJstTgm5wuRPMQa4UpurudKgVUj5AsqXWzrnGsBzwQlnXj2oWWl3Hw/s200/Graceworks+Truck.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center">WHAT A GAS!!</p><p align="center"></p><p align="center">Bible study tonight- then meetings tomorrow to work on Volunteer stuff!!

OH I just HAD to add him. I collect friends on facebook like I collect scrapbook supplies. You never know how many you need..just get MORE! I seriously have an addiction and somewhere in my twisted mind, I equate personal wealth with how many friends on Facebook I can have!! LOL Now, I know that my TRUE worth is only in HIM! My God and my saviour..and I'm worthless without HIM!...but that's beside the point in my puny little mind. Next topic<br /><br />Ok, the storms of last week have devastated our community of Murfreesboro, please see these links:<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.richardcall.net/2009/04/10/todays-tornado-damage-in-murfreesboro-tn/">http://blog.richardcall.net/2009/04/10/todays-tornado-damage-in-murfreesboro-tn/</a><br /><br />I sat home, we are safe thank GOD..and life is going on. We still are in limbo with Bob's job at GM and this is causing quite a lot of tension, but we know that GOD has a plan. We just have to wait and see what our part is.<br /><br />I have gotten a new title at work..I am now the Client Services Director/Parish nurse. I'm still running my program full time but now have the additional responsibility of all client services. Right now, my focus is getting our volunteers trained and empowered to make informed decisions. I am in the process of thinking of restructure to better fit the model of volunteers and assistance that our new Executive Director would like to see us go. It has been a challenge and at times a headache, but the outcome will be (hopefully) so much better.<br /><br />That's all I have today!

The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, 'OK old man, time for you to retire.' The old rooster replies, 'Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?' The young rooster says, 'Beat it: You are washed up and I am taking over.' The old rooster says, 'I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop.' The young rooster laughs. 'You know you don't stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start.' The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. The Old Rooster is squawking and running as hard as he can. The Farmer grabs his shotgun and- BOOM - he blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, 'Dang...Third queer rooster I bought this month.'<br /> <br />Moral of this story?<br /> <br />Don't mess with the OLDER GENERATION age, skill, wisdom, and a little treachery always overcome youth and arrogance!<br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br />Lovingly??? well just written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-24277395140655533262009-02-06T19:35:00.003-06:002009-02-06T19:42:31.613-06:00A kiss from heavenOk, I'm behind on my HSMSHS (His space,my space, her space blog challenge) of a picture a day- so this weekend I"m going on a picture safari. I need this creative time as I have been working very hard. It is 7:45 p.m. on a FRIDAY NIGHT and I'm still at work- just finishing up a bunch of loose ends and taking a moment to post on the blog-o-sphere!<br /><br /><br />I had to post this pic:<br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh6EO3V1nydW16HBQYdjmb6Y73TzGUjEU5BsaX2CbF8fbmYwBrMzWLvdnPy-yJHE54vaxW85xorApx_1hlygTjq3HU36XH0vc_3ncUXc9Y9u1Pli1-IGlDymbQ9DdMZq_Uzl8zPYVAg6g/s1600-h/flowers+from+Charles.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299863697650717122" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh6EO3V1nydW16HBQYdjmb6Y73TzGUjEU5BsaX2CbF8fbmYwBrMzWLvdnPy-yJHE54vaxW85xorApx_1hlygTjq3HU36XH0vc_3ncUXc9Y9u1Pli1-IGlDymbQ9DdMZq_Uzl8zPYVAg6g/s320/flowers+from+Charles.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>I got it from a client. His name is the same as my late-grandfather's, although we are definately not related. I was honored to be part of helping purchase an artificial leg for him. Did you know that Medicare won't replace a prosthesis? His was in such bad shape- that he kept getting infections from it cutting him! I was appalled by the treatment he recieved. With God's help- I was used to get his custom fit leg for him- at no cost to him! Those go for around $7000-$8000! This was about 2 years ago, and he sent me flowers (and chocolate)to thank me again!<br /><br />The reason I say this is a kiss from Heaven - it has been 5 years working here at Graceworks Ministries. My previous work history has been five and move on. This confirmed for me that God is not done using me here. I don't take this appointment lightly either. There are so many hurting people and I am so blessed to be able to serve and help them find hope!<br />I pray that I reflect God's loving heart to those hurting.<br /><br />Thank you Mr. C- I love the flowers.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Lovingly written by just me...just jane.Just Jane's Journalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10682184369494056363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7824592645236855147.post-7160235638199135652009-01-16T15:12:00.003-06:002009-01-16T15:13:40.446-06:00HSMSHS SQUARE<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Q8w1SOPIL4U7CY5Ry7b7pU5l9HPYWInNPHxzqT0URcOr1LBTJ9dri8mwpxEavOvXIOpQnuDmoUAG2g0BEPCCEjB4WUf-EuS744C2fX9kFBwrTPGgi6OMTGuXeL4tvlpJ3iAOsVDJVSs/s1600-h/blog+giveaway.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292002678184343794" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5Q8w1SOPIL4U7CY5Ry7b7pU5l9HPYWInNPHxzqT0URcOr1LBTJ9dri8mwpxEavOvXIOpQnuDmoUAG2g0BEPCCEjB4WUf-EuS744C2fX9kFBwrTPGgi6OMTGuXeL4tvlpJ3iAOsVDJVSs/s320/blog+giveaway.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center">Ok, this one is a cheat- and I'll really put one of my pictures up later..butover at Happy Daisy she is having another give away!!
