Taking care of Mama

Good morning all,

Hope you are well and blessed!

Mama and I are great! As you may or may not know, Mama is in her hospital bed so taking care of her and changing her bed is so much easier. This morning when I pulled her bed away from the wall to change her bed, she turned and looked me in the eye and asked, "Way you taking me?" I haven't gotten used to the way she now talks, but hey, Mama talks and I am grateful. And, she can make me laugh. She is just my little comedienne.

Later when I sat at the computer to do some work, I pushed out a great big sneeze. Mama heard and said, "J-E-S-U-S." I guess I disturbed her peace and quiet, LOL!

Stay well and cool my friends and blessings to you always.

Working on short story called The Storm Within

Hello Again,

Mama and I hope you are well. I am working on a short story today that is entitled, The Storm Within. Hopefully, I can make it available to you all very soon. I would love to know what's going on in your life. Whatever it is, I hope it has a bit of a challenge, it is enjoyable, fun and is exactly what you want to be doing. We've got one life. Let's live it to the fullest, doing the wonderful things that we find pleasing.

And, as usual, until the next time, many blessings to you.

Sweet Potato Pies

I made some sweet potato pies a few days ago and they were delicious. The only problem is that I am eating too much of it. I am trying to fit into a size 14 dress for my nephew's upcoming wedding(July 2nd) but the dress doesn't fit very good. I refuse to get a size 16. Or, maybe I should since I am certain that this dress is cut really small, ha ha ha!

Next time folks!

Hello All,

I hope all you fathers as well as mothers who have taken on the role of mothers and fathers, had a very Happy Father's Day today. Mama, my brothers and I went to the cemetery and visited my Dad and two oldest brothers. It was quite emotional, but as a family, we got through it together.

I'm a very excited camper today. My website is looking great. Can't wait for us to launch and it looks as though it going to be really soon. Look out for us. www.leighmcknightonline.com.

Until we talk again, blessings!

Mama singing dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all are well. My sister is visiting from ATL and it is great. Just don't know what Mama and I are going to do when she leaves in July. She is staying the entire month of June and we are loving it.

We were feeding Mama this morning and Mama was singing dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb and we looked at each other and laughing we were wondering whether Mama was really talking about us. We will never know but it was so funny.

More Mama updates later. Please keep visiting. Thanks.

Sister is visiting from ATL entire month of June and into July...YAY!!!

This is such a great month for Mama and I. My sister is visiting from ATL this month and we are having such fun; playing Scrabble (I even got closer to winning this time but still no cigar), eating homemade sweet potato pie,talking and laughing and having a really good relaxed time. It is not often my sister can spend this amount of quality time with us, but we certainly are enjoying this time together.

We also watched the Mavs beat the Heat(Her for the Heat, me the Mavs this year) I have never chosen the Mavs as my team prior to this year but since My Celtics were defeated, then the Thunder, the Mavs got my vote and they won. Congratulations to the Mavs.

Procedure done today where anesthesiologist administered Propofol

Hello Everyone,

I know, it's been a minute but here I am. Not much to say today except that I had a procedure today where the anesthesiologist administered the drug, Propofol. I looked him in the eye and asked, "have you ever heard of Michael Jackson?"
He laughed and said, "Yes."
"Well, I don't want to end up like that," I said, only I wasn't laughing. Anyway in addition to them taking really good care of me and waking me up without any problems, I had about a half hour of the best sleep.

Let me back up a moment. The day before the procedure, I met with this doctor for the first time. I sat across from him at his desk and again, I looked this doctor in his eyes and I told him to please not let me die, that I had an elderly Mama that I have to take care of. He assured me there would not be a problem. Thank God, I'm alive. Well, until next time, good night all.

Blessings!
