My many adventures

I survived breast cancer, to travel around the world to some of the many places I've always wanted to go. There are lots more places I still want to visit.

I've been to Scotland, England, Vancouver, Victoria BC, an Alaskan cruise, Yukon, Alaska (Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway), a fab Mediterranean cruise which took us to Barcelona, the Vatican & Rome, the island of Crete, Izmir & Sulcuk, Ephesus Turkey, Egypt and Malta. I have been to Las Vegas, Hollywood LA, Cabo San Lucas, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Tampa, a Disney Cruise to Bahamas and Disney's Castaway Cay island, all over Canada and Hawaii and Pearl Harbour. We can add Cozumel, Costa Maya, Mexico, Belize City and Honduras. What a fabulous way to see the world!
Take the time to do the things you want to do because life is too short and if you wait until you can afford it, you'll likely never go. So get your plans ready and pick a place and start booking your trip. It is so worth it.

Thanks for dropping by. I have lots of posts to put up so stay tuned...

BLOG POST June 2019

Hi Folks! During a convention in Toronto in 2017, my grandson and I visited Niagara Falls, CN Tower and went to Medieval Knights dinner theatre. We had such a fabulous time! I will be posting pictures of that wonderful trip.

I still have a great deal of travel posts to put up. I want our vacations and travel to be shared with you all. I'm not sure of what our travel plans will be for 2017, but for 2016, I rested all the time. Retirement is so awesome!! I was able to take pictures of the summer's Totally Eclipse of the Moom, which I'll share with you here on a post. It was incredible for sure.
I just love summer! I hope the winter will be gentle to us.

Still trying to find my ancesters with the Foran/Forhan name. Apparently two brothers came over from Dublin, one was name Edward who had a son named Edward born in Prince Edward Island and he had a son named William who had my father. I love doing ancestry but it is very frustrating when you can get no further without the "parents" names.

I have so many posts to write about so please keep patience with me. I received a great posting from SiteHoundSniffs.com which looks to be a great animal site. Hope you enjoy it.

My granddaughter Layla made it to Master Chef Canada in 2018 but was cut. She's still a great cook.

My little guy Rialey is now 16 and is 6'2 ". He is so thoughtful of me and helps me a lot.

I had hoped to travel last year or in 2019, but health issues stopped that thought. Now I face another health issue, heart failure. Last May 2018 I was admitted to hospital and went into cardiac arrest. Thankfully they brought me back. With all the great health care, I am in recovery. When you don't have yur health, you have nothing. I think I have about 8 specialist doctors and my MD and I pay nothing, thank goodness!

Take care my blogger friends.

Thanks friends,

Debbie

Travel, children and living

Life is like a blink of an eye.  It's here one minute and gone the next.  Nothing is promised to any of us.  We are born with disabilities or not.  The difficulty life gives us are the many challenges from day to day.

No one asks for syndromes or disabilities or diseases but it happens.  We have to pick up the gaunlet and forge on, but some of us need help.  Friends, neighbours, family and co-workers can play and are a big part of our lives and they can help make a difference.  They can give us that strength to just keep moving forward, regardless what we face.

I faced severe breast cancer which nearly took my life twice.  I lived and now bring up my grandchildren, 8 & 16.  Difficiulties?  I ask you, do you think???  When I travel with the children, which I do a fair bit of, we do have difficulties especially when the little guy starts to become angry and upset.  He can run away, throw things, say horrible things and call names but eventually he begins to calm down and is very sorry but the damage it done.  As parents we just have to move past it and hope the next one isn't too bad. 

On the cruise, he only had a few upsets and the teenager gave me attitude issues, but we made it through and had a wonderful vacation in Europe.  Now that Egypt is calmed down and democracy is shining through the stars, we will go back.  There is so much we want to see and explore and we will give ourselves more time.  I definitely want to go back to Rome, Egypt, Turkey, Malta and to see Athens.  My upcoming vacation to Kauai, Hawaii will be awesome.  In the meantime, I will be doing lots of work travel.

Don't forget to support the Dragon Boat race coming up in May 15, 2011 and check out the site on twitter @battleinthebay This will be an amazing fund raiser and awareness for breast cancer.  Please support and give what and when you can.  If you're really adventurous then put a team into the race yourself!!

Thanks for letting me vent, I needed that!
