Independence and Other Things to Be Grateful For!

Happy Independence Day!
I IM'ed a friend in England today and said, Happy Big Loss Day! He didn't quite get it at first. Is my humor really that bad? Maybe you shouldn't answer that.

Good News! My father-in-law woke up! After the neurologist said he'd likely never wake even. So, we went from planning funeral to trying to take care of him again. This is still very difficult and he is still in intensive care. He is still on dialysis, respirator, antibiotics for staph infection and they think he probably suffered a stroke. He is a fighter tho and is not giving up yet. There is hope again and sometimes that is all you can ask for.

In other news! My dear sweet sister, Sharla, guess my question several posts ago. My license plate says: OSHEE. :) There is a story to my name, which I have never shared because it relates to my real first name. Sometime soon, I might just have to tell the story. But, it's been a real nickname for me since I was 15. (Over half my lifetime wow!)
Here is a picture of my new license plate!



The summer continues now with swimming in full force! Swim meets and dive meets every week and practice four times a week. Movies on fridays fill out our week. Everyone in my home is healthy again and things are over all improving. I have much to be grateful for in addition to being born and getting to live in this remarkable country.
