Welcome to my blog. I have had ALS for 10 years now.


Since I started this blog in June 2008 I've had amazing feedback. Family, friends, people from all over North America, Australia, Scotland, England, and places I can't recall, have commented, encouraged and corresponded. I had no idea when Cynthia taught me how to set this up, how much I would love posting and how many people would read it. I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has helped propel this therapeutic exercise into a daily routine. All of you, both friends and visitors, are now part of my blog family. Welcome.

Old Ranch

This is the Old Ranch where we kept horses. It was fun to ride in the hills. This is the first time I saw wild horses roaming. We encountered them not far from Tom's old cabin.

A Definition of ALS


ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. As motor neurons die in the cells, the brain's ability to send signals to the body's muscles is compromised. This leads to loss of voluntary muscle movement, paralysis and eventually respiratory failure. There is no proven treatment or cure for ALS, and most patients die within five years of diagnosis.

A visit from my former Boss and his wife who just published a book

Olive published a book about the Irish settlers who came to Canada. It is an interesting read. It was nice to see both of them. I worked with Jung for many years. 

Friends from High School

Margaret and Cammy always visit. This time on St. Patrick's Day. I am thankful to have my friends from St. Margarets.
