It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

The Server is Down

We've spent an afternoon in the Apheresis lab. Now, here at our Palo Alto motel room, Donna and I have had dinner (I brought sloppy Joes) and I am busily (and joyfully) scanning old typewritten pages with family histories. What's incredible about all this is that I am scanning these pages into text documents I can edit, add to or reformat. OCR technology has been around for a while, but often it took more work to convert than just retyping the pages the old fashioned way... except I can't type!

Another great feature of this little gem is that it fits right in my laptop case along with the laptop and half ton of other junk I haul with me. And it cost less that $100. A Canon LIDE60, just in case you are interested... great value. I am inspired!

We've lots to do tomorrow, the server is down and I still have 20 pages to scan, so will bid you a loving farewell.
