So Many Miles And So Little Time As it turned out, leaving earlier than we had initially planned saved Judy’s job. Making the run north to US-10 was easy, and we were soon westbound on US-10. We had been running in smooth traffic until we hit a massive stoppage due to an accident just east of New... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Three
Let’s Move The beautiful thing about this old-style complex was that it had the best swimming pool we ever encountered on our many travels. The bad thing was that the air conditioning units were almost as old as the buildings. If we tried to cool the unit down to less than 84 degrees, it would blow... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Two
And Travel We Did! I had a friend take care of our home while we were gone for the first year and on the road. I initially thought that we would be nomads for a year, maybe three tops. When it was over, Judy worked as a ‘traveler’ for eight years. We were into adventures, and her new job most... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty One
A Change of Scenery Somewhere in late 2004, small hometown hospitals began to be bought up by their bigger brethren. At first, this practice was good for the citizens of those small medical centers, allowing more big-town specialists to make once-a-week or monthly visits to the boondocks. However,...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty
There Was Blood All Over I watched Judy for a delayed response to my father’s death, but nothing happened. In fact, over the next five years, she only had one ‘bad spell.’ Our daughter was out of high school, and our son was a junior. Everything had been going along as best as anyone’s life could be...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Nine
A Return To Normal Over the next fourteen years, our lives remained trouble-free, and thus, things became routine. Judy had regained her emotional footing and was doing very well at work. She became the department supervisor. Part of her job was to rewrite and update department policies and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Eight
I’m Sorry Things had calmed down, and Judy returned to work after her mandatory eight-week maternity leave and the additional four-week vacation request I had requested for her. Our romance had returned to its original vigor, and even the kids enjoyed sitting together and holding hands. Amanda loved... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Seven
As I look back, I know that she was hoping that every time I became lucid, I would remain that way so she could step away from the harness. As strong as she was at work, she didn't like being the family's decision-maker. If I could go back in time and change just one thing in my life, I would go... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Six
A Knock On The Door The next ten months brought Judy back to her usual self-confidence at work while being an ever-loving mother and wife. We had found a new house on the edge of a small town. It was quiet, with a large backyard and a large wooded area behind it. It needed some work, but we were... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Thirty Five
Reeling In The Years The next three years sped by like a bunny with wings. Judy returned to work without missing a beat, and Amanda became the base mascot. We didn’t take her on any emergency runs or any such thing, but she became quite the little actor for our first aid courses. It was amazing how... Sign in to see full entry.
