Truthful Lies of my Childhood

VICTORY IS A PHENOMINAL WORD

Victory ranks 7th on my all time list of favorite words. During WWII, our President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, encouraged everyone nationwide to have their own Victory Garden, to forsake their grassy yards and plant vegetables instead to help the war effort. Yes, plant carrots and beans and tomatoes in pots on patios and balconies; spade up parks and other public lands to grow corn and potatoes.
In 1945, when the war in Europe finally ended, VE Day (victory in Europe) was proclaimed and celebrations ensued. In the Pacific Theater 3 months later, it was VJ Day (victory over Japan). I attend Victory Baptist Church where we sing that old gospel song “Victory in Jesus.” At sports contests worldwide, crowds cheer their teams on to victory. As for myself, I attained a personal victory in my life when I successfully wrote and had published a book which I entitled “Truthful Lies of My Childhood.” Yes, victory is sweet.

She is the type of friend that loves me even tho I have faults. May we all have friends like that. Today I have been reading on the internet about hemodialysis and renal centers. Very scary, all I didn’t know after 5 years! I tell you–they do not educate you! Monday I go to Tyler to have my access checked. Keep the faith, Linda

My darling husband took me out for a Valentine lunch. And I sat in the garden for a couple of hours while Eddie worked. Taz the garden cat came to visit, then what an unexpeted visit, Sierra our 11 yr. old granddaughter came for a visit! For a bit of background I am in renal failure and a year or so ago my legs failed me. Now I walk with a walker. My hands and feet have lost some feeling. So I don’t go much except to the renal center, thus making today very special.

also I would like to blog about renal failure and hear from others who have the same problems. Keep the faith, Linda

My name is Linda Ann and I am married to Edward Emanuel, and I should have introduced myself first of all. We moved here about 10 years ago, to this wonderful place that is not like Texas at all. It has small hills and trees.

Thanks to my wonderful kids I am trying to blog. I am a hemo-dialysis person. When we moved here to Hidden Creek, we hoped to do a lot more than health has let us do. But my Lord has opened many other doors. Just a mere 47 years ago He gave me my wonderful husband.
