PATRICIA KEEN:  

2015-July * Had fun reading my old posts ... how life does move by quickly ... WOW! * Looking forward to the class reunion in August. Will be fun to see the old familiar faces. * Still single (except for being married to Christ Jesus) and content with that decision. Should have chosen that walk MANY MANY years ago. LOL! * Very busy with church activities, hanging with family and friends, waiting upon the Lord's return. * No more politics ... burned out after 2014. * Still selling H-D t-shirts and accessories, but not on eBay. * My dog Nicholas is pushing 7 years old (pomeranian), and is the greatest companion. He is now my service dog (ESA) and goes everywhere with me. * My birdie died suddenly and has left a hole in my heart. (lovebird) * My son Scott (31) has been living with me since October 2013. Been interesting, difficult and sometimes fun having him around. * A friend found herself allergic to her own dog ... ZoeZoe ... and asked me to go with her to put Zoe to sleep. I prayed about it and the Lord said I should care for the dog. Zoe is a French bulldog, who wears diapers (incontinent) and when I took her in could not walk. She has a degenerate spinal issue. After a few weeks with me she was starting to walk, can run while wearing her 'chariot wheels' and is enjoying her life. She has such a zest for life and is inspiring to everyone who meets her. *Well, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. 2009-November Wow. Just back from my TRIP OF A LIFETIME! Was supposed to be a big 5-0 for my friend Shari and ended up being a pilgrimage to the Holyland. God works in mysterious ways. Trip started off to be a dozen couples celebrating her birthday and ended up on my own, knowing one couple, and it was over my birthday! 3 Days in Rome, Italy, experiencing the Colosseum, the ruins everywhere you look and the fantastic statues; then board a fantastic cruise ship called the Celebrity Equinox for 13 days touring the Ancient Cities. 1st stop, Greece, Athens and the next day Rhodes. Unbelievable to be standing in these places that we learned about, studied and have seen photos of all of our lives. Turkey, visited Ephesus, the place Paul preached and up on the hill where legend has it Mother Mary spent her last years. Beautiful, fantastic really and Turkey was a huge excellent surprise. Clean with very nice people. Next was Israel. 1 day at port in Haifa, visiting Nazareth (church of the Annunciation) and lunch on the Galilee. 2nd day, port of Ashod, visiting Bethlehem (inside the walls of the Palestinian people-scarey)highlighted by the church of the Nativity, then Je...Expand for more
