In the first 500 photos my brother sent me tonight there are a few I want to print and frame.

What bothers me is that I do not recognize my mother for at least two decades, and that may be due to being away at college and work or remembering her as a child. She always looked sad in the photos.

These photos show that she may have loved me for a short time, I’m the eldest. Her older sister used love to rein in her kids just a bit. It worked, very well, and our method did not. Aunt J loved her kids, all of us and her grandkids.

A year before my mother died of cancer, as did her older sister, she told me she hated me. She was taking the disease out on me, which should be OK, but she said I never should have been born, and that still hurts.

My husband and I spent a week at hospice with her and I even got her last rites, that’s another story. For now it’s good that in her first photo album online there are a few photos of me that were included, Thanks from your first born, Dad, Dee

I just got photos tonight from the early days. I knew I always loved dogs and this will prove it. My father is holding me back as I reach out. I’ve never seen this photo before. It touches my heart as my father is holding me and protecting me and all I want to do is touch this dog.

This explains a lot of what I’ve done as a volunteer to help dogs and then cats, it makes sense. Cheers from Dee

I’ve been on the phone trying to get my Yahoo popmail service back up for days. They answer the phone and tell you you’ll never get through because they may cut you off, then they do after five minutes. We pay for this service.

I’ve had Yahoo for many years and have never not met such a rude service. I had to get Gmail in order to email Yahoo.

Sick and twisted, I know. Yahoo, I’m going after the Board and Execs, trust me. You don’t treat Dee this way. Battle! Dee

is a series. Just look it up on my site. Each part of the series has recipes to go along. All you do is look up article #1. There’s more and it took me a lot of time to put this together.

Just start with essential pantry #2 and go from there. A thought. Thanks for reading. Dee

That was against my religion, at least the one I was brought up in. My sister said it best when declining the 52 envelopes for contributions, telling Sister we went to the church down the street.

I ended up going to a Franciscan college not knowing so, but am better for it as I had two great profs, both priests, one dead and another dying who wants me to fly in to have lunch.

In the end I’ve no love for the Church, only those in it. The HRC Church told me not to think. That was against MY religion. Just follow and Jesus will show you the way. I’m not a follower of those who tell me I’m not smart, cannot have any influence in the Church in which I was baptised and am told not to think for myself.

God, I do not believe in organized religion. I’ve had enough time on earth to know you are here and that I do other things besides church to know that I care for others. For a priest in philosophy to say don’t think, just repeat my answers was the first step in my journey and it has been a long and bumpy ride.

Today I believe in redemption, being an honest and good person and in serving people and animals (Franciscan). Let us hope that is enough for me an my small family, Dee

p.s. Yesterday James Garner died. God rest his soul. Years ago I knew his daughter Gigi from a small park on the left coast. She’s done well and her father will be remembered from Maverick to Rockford to Tank in Space Cowboys, thanks for the memories. Perhaps someday I’ll tell the Space Cowboys story from his daughter…….. d
