Losing Another Friend to Covid (via Heart Issues)

 Is another amazing co-worker gone. This guy was so special! He was the one that got me interested in NDEs.

Annie LOVES Miku !

A Sweet Memory from 2008

 This popped up in my Facebook memories, and I just had to share it here! It is my absolute favorite picture of Annie! Great big smile! Wearing a non regulation life vest with a rope around it so she wouldn't jump in the water. Her teeth show signs of thumbsucking. Best memories in the world!

Covid

 I have a much more detailed account in the book I'm writing, but I just thought I would mention here that The girls and I have been suffering with covid for about a week and a 1/2. The culprit? Our family July 4th get together at the lake!! Annie had it. Annie gave it to me. I gave it to aunt Patsy. Aunt Patsy gave it to Leia. Leia gave it to Harvest. I am pretty sure it stopped there. It was the BA5 Omicron variant. It was very mild. Felt like a flu or a bad cold with fever. We had a relapse after about one week, that included nausea. Finally testing negative now and back to work!

My Beautiful Annie & Leia at the Thompson Lake House

July Fourth 2022 : Lake Murray SC

Always in live with fire, I had to snap a pic of Leia and Harvest and SPARKELERS ON THE PORCH!?! [GASP] I didn't tell Grandpa. It was too cute.
Before Grandpa says grace: Another tradition.
 This moment brought tears to my eyes. I had to snap a picture. Leia and Annie sharing boiled peanuts just like when they were little.

The Supreme Court Overturns Row vs. Wade


June 24, 2022

I have been praying for this since I was born. DNA is there at conception, where human rights begin. Now it is the law of the land, yet again. BUT THERE ARE GRAVE CONCERNS  as this was done without universal health care, and without help for unwed mothers and the children of these mothers! It is time for us to help these women!

 I always said that if this ever happened, I would go immediately to a pregnancy crisis center and volunteer! So I did!
 The reason why I included my Facebook post is because the 2 people who who liked it represent the 2 opposite ends of the spectrum: one vastly conservative the other incredibly liberal. Unity is my goal! Let us all live together as one. Peace! ✌ ☮ 

Family Trip to Edisto 2022 : On Adventure

Whaley's, a Thompson tradition since 2012
Botany Bay Road, this time, at sunset!
"The Tree"
 I hate that I ruined this picture! But it is a representation of the kind of light show that we saw after sunset on the inlet side of the island one evening. Lightning lit up the clouds every second brilliantly!
