The caller ID showed an Asheville area code, so I eagerly answered the phone. Karen said hello and then reported that they had 2 inches of snow, "The day before Easter!" All I could think was what must the view be like when it snowed on Jacob Lane.
"So, is there news?" I queried.
"They accepted your offer," Karen replied.
The joy I felt at her words was indescribable; it was followed immediately by the conviction that I would work hard to keep this in my life. Then came the gratitude - to the sellers, to Karen, to Anthony, and to our ANGEL who is making this possible.
Nearly 5 years ago, I suffered a stroke that left me with numbness and lack of coordination of my right hand and arm. For awhile, I could not speak normally, and I couldn't say my husband's name. With time and occupational and massage therapy, sensation began to return. My speech cleared up within the month. I relearned how to brush my teeth and hair, how to butter toast, how to handle a fork. I used a speech program on the computer for several months, because my right hand could not type. I am very grateful for the lessons I learned from this experience. After 5 years, a person is considered to be at no increased risk of having another CVA (cerebrovascular accident). That's my upcoming milestone!

Stopping by for the first time. . .congrats on the new place! BTW, we were in Ireland just over 5 months. . .sigh! And I had not heard of your brother with the cats. Interesting! We'd be the couple with the dogs the neighbors are complaining about!!!
