March 2018 — I can’t believe it has been over two years since I blogged. It has been a busy two years.

Pegasus Villas

Here I am all settled in for 2+ years here at the Pegasus Villas. I really love living in Dallas. Life in Dallas is quite different from Fort Worth.   I miss that old familiar life, however, a change is always fun and exciting.

I know that a lot of my family and friends think I made a bad decision by moving to Dallas, but over and over I see that God has me right where He wants me.  Both my children live in Dallas area and it is good to be close.

Within the first few months here at Pegasus Villas, I was voted President of the Residents Board. A pretty easy job and what a great way to meet everyone. There are 156 apartments — but not everyone is active in the meetings, card games, potluck dinners, coffee times and happy hours. This is a very Social Environment.     Presidential term was only for one year. When I stepped down we decided that we really only needed activities coordinators.  We had an awesome coordinator during my term and with a little encouragement, she agreed to continue for another term.

I started teaching an art class at the Tremont Retirement Center in 2015. Art has become my real passion.     We also have an art class here at Pegasus Villa's also a couple of times a month.      Long term plan is to teach a couple more classes every month.

Cabo is still my favorite place to visit at least couple of weeks a year.
2015 was the first time I really took a vacation to Cabo without taking work.  Retirement from Shipping Pets was another good life change.

July 2017 I took an Alaskan Cruise.  I have to say it was everything I expected and more.  I almost backed out because of some severe back pain -- but, even with the pain, it was still a great trip.

Glacier Bay - Captain of the ship took us thru Icebergs to get so close.  

The Icebergs were blue....  So amazing.  

This back pain started in October 2016.  I did physical therapy for 4 months and then just tried to deal with the pain for several months.  After the cruise, I went back to primary care doctor and have been seeing Spine Surgeons. scans, x-rays, and MRI along with getting injections.  3 or 4 injections so far???  To date, nothing has helped.  If you are reading this, I appreciate your prayers for God to intervene and bring supernatural healing.    Thank you, Lord, for healing.
