NNNNEXT!!!


Ok, so we moved into this downsized home, in a retirement golf community overlooking the lake. We sit right below Mission Winery, on the 5th Tee. Sounds Idyllic, right? Maybe not so much. Days after we arrived, our delicious granddaughter tested the EMS (Emergency Measures Services) in town when she stopped breathing. The next 12 hours were spent in Emergency, amongst all the blood and gore a resort community can offer. The good news is we left without seeing the doctor as she seemed better and I was hungry. A month later the EMS guys visited next door some time before dawn. Then again weeks later, paid another visit to different lady, I liked to call her, the well, golf lady 4 doors down. We attended her funeral a week later. Two months passed and the Ambulance again stopped off to take our next door neighbour to the hospital and we sadly attended her funeral later that month. Summer arrived with the neighbour on our other side riding off in the early hours in the Ambulance and took the ride again easily 20 times over the next 2 months. She thankfully seems to be treatable and is in hospital as we speak, hopefully getting well. This morning the fit and slim woman 5 doors down took the big white ride to the hospital. Now I am not fit, not slim and if reports are accurate, may be in the throws of an early dementia and have bones of glass. I have made dutiful preparations just as I did prior to giving birth. This time without the breast pads and nursing bra. In other words I am packed and ready for any future trip in the big white Ambulance, we are the only house left. Over reaction, I think not!
