Carolyn Hope that you had a great celebration yesterday, sounds as though you have made a positive life for yourself which is what we all strive for. I know for a certainty that I could never make it to 50 years (I'd be 101) but I certainly am going to try to make another 14 years or so that I get to see my youngest granddaughter graduate from high school. Who knows, I might have a couple of great-great grandchildren by then. J
I have a little greenhouse and in the springtime we grow tomatoes, peppers etc to sell. Yesterday was the first day of selling and of course the weather turned cold and rainy, at least it wasn't snowing, but still had several sales. I was very late getting my website up and running, each time I have to work on it I have to refresh my memory and then learn what new things the hosting site has changed. My web address is: Tomatoladyreno.com. It's not fancy but I did it by myself and it certainly keeps me busy updating all the descriptions every year of the new things that we grow. Please post more, it would be so interesting to hear how you have been affected by technology change. Just in my few short years there have been so many changes, and several on here are in their forties quondam but 50 years is amazing.

To stay so upbeat and positive over 50 years is remarkable. I'm on year 42 and feel like the dark cloud over my head keeps growing. Please post more because you are an inspiration and you give the rest of us a glimpse of what to expect. You are the Daniel Boone of the quad world -- a pioneer of uncharted territory. > Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 17:28:48 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [QUAD-L] > > A few of you wondered if I was crooked..I am not..guess I'm just lucky in that regard. I had my bladder removed in 1995 due to bladder cancer and now have a Miami pouch...I love it. I have had my problems with excessive sweating but it turns out the sweating was being caused by an open sore on my foot..I think. This past year I have not had any cold sweats and the sore is closed. I have had about 30 kidney and bladder stones (In my Miami pouch) all removed last year but I will probably get more! > In 2005 I had shingles and after being put on the medicine for shingles I had a brain bleed which has affected my short term memory...other then being stuck in this wheelchair life is good! > I have been married to my wonderful husband Tony for 47 years, have one sweet daughter Lisa and two incredible grandchildren Ryan and Megan. I will celebrate being alive on my 50th ann, of my car accident which put me in this chair Sunday..I have a great life always busy doing something. I do phone work for AmVets..calling for discards since 1986..brings in a little money. I don't write that much on the quad list but I read all the posts..will try to write more. >
