My thoughts will have to wait Read

I have lost power twice since I sat down to write my thoughts about working in the medical field I will finish tomorrow I promise :)

Never Forget

I've written thousands of thoughts on the effect 9/11had on me my family and friends. I know some who lost loved ones in the towers I pray daily for them. Yes it's been 10yrs but it feels like yesterday we are a strong Nation under God we have moved forward the new tower is half way finished it's going to be beautiful.
The memorial sits between the footprints of the original towers with 2 trident steel beams that survived the ruble of the collapse was built around them it's breathtaking.
The 2 pix I've posted are from the day of the opening
Ciao for now

Just to update you on my eye issue....it's healing nicely with the new medication.  I'm going to a new eye specialist who seems to care about getting my eye back to as normal as possible, thank God. 
I know that if I hadn't stopped everything back at the 1st part of Aug things could have turned out much differently, but the Lord took over and I'm on the mend. 
I love it that I can sit here writing my thoughts and rants and SEE what I'm doing lol life is good. 
I have several rants that I need to put out there today about the Nascar Chase about the wonderful 9-11 weekend of memorials and tributes which was breathtaking. 
I need to share about my life on Twitter lol it's been interesting to say the least and the comments made by some in the print media is again, interesting lol I will go into that later. 
But first and foremost I want to thank you all who have had in my prayers for healing, it's working as it always does.  I feel like my sas is coming back and when it does you will know it lol.
Ciao for now I need to get dinner started....I will be back LOL

I have been through a bit of rough time the past 3 months with an eye issue. I have a new doctor and team to follow me and get this eye healed on stable I thank Dr. Yee for that :).
Now, for my HS reunion thoughts...that was the best time I've had in a very long time. See and catching up with the BEST DAM class on planet earth Villa Park HS Villa Park Ca just rocked back in the 60's and 70's. The class of 71 was the ONE lol and I'm proud to say I was part of them and still am even after 40 years. The reunion was held in Temecula Ca which is just outside of San Diego (where I was born) it's a beautiful area with Wineries all over the place with some of the best Wine in the world, it's a mini Napa.
Brian and I stayed with his parents in Carlsbad by the ocean for a few days it was wonderful, cool and just beautiful.
I'm grateful for all the good thought and prayers and support for me during the last few months, I'm on the road to recovery thank you very much lol.
I will post my thoughts on the haps in Nascar soon, and boy do I have a RANT built up lol
Ciao for now

VPHS Reunion Update

If anyone that follows my blog is also one of my high school buds, all the information of buying tickets and where to stay is posted at htt://vphs71reunion.blogspot.com/p/welcome.html

For most of the last three to four months I have been dealing with a problem with my left eye. Finally after a year of issues with it I was diagnosed with Glaucoma and I have to have a Cornea transplant the end of August.
I'm sorry I haven't been here in a few months to keep you all updated with the happenings in Nascar, I will be back to normal soon I promise.
With that said I am not happy with the performance of the #5 car and I'm sure Mark Martin isn't either but he's bound and determined to fight his way back up to the top 10. He sits 20th which is the lowest he's been in a 30yr career in Nascar stay tuned and watch.
Ciao for now

God Bless On Memorial Day

From Track Side with Melli & Other Stuff

I want to take a moment to say "Thank You" to all our men and women in our armed forces now and those that have given their lives for all of us and the Freedoms we all have because of their ultimate sacrifice.

My father served in WW11 on the USS Radford and served proudly during one of the bloodiest battles in the South Pacific. Dad shares almost on a daily basis and he's now 91, what he experienced as a young man fighting in a very mean, ugly war. We as Americans must NOT forget what they did for us and died for our freedom.

Take the time if you see a young man or women in uniform to say "Thank You" and shake there hand.

I will always be grateful to dad and all those who have preceded him in defending this precious country we call The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA yeahhhh I'm so damn proud to be AMERICAN oh yes I am.

Ciao for now and have a wonderful weekend

Prayers For All In The Storms today

From Track Side with Melli & Other Stuff

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the terrible tornado's in AL and through out the Southeast.

Mother Nature is very humbling and she doesn't play favorites it's going to take many months or long for them to recover, so lets please give to the American RED CROSS who are now there helping those displaced.

Ciao for now
