He used to buy a lot of movies, now he can't remember watching them so he can watch them again!<br />Also, we had a good laugh the other day (admittedly a bit dark for some) in addition to PD he has diabetes and takes a daily shot. The other morning as he was giving himself a shot his hand suddenly started shaking where it had been still the moment before! He sat there repeatedly sticking himself with the tip of the needle, cracking up laughing, saying "I can't stop!" He thought it was the funniest thing that happened in a long time. <br />Everyday we thank God for his blessings. We focus on gratitude. On what we have, not on what's been lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726760868307129738.post-9926747278423731202018-07-01T11:30:06.711-07:002018-07-01T11:30:06.711-07:00My drinks are always shaken not stirred.
