I co-own and operate a summer rental house on Lake Norris, have a Portuguese Water Dog whom I dearly love!, travel extensively due to family in three states, and live in Phoenix in winter and Caryville (north of Knoxville) in the summer in our permanent home. I'm a new runner, and beginning pilot training. The title has to do with the fact that my hubby says I'm his Lucille Ball.http://rudy53.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com (Ruthy)Blogger11125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787694523281053939.post-6762705671756408300Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:15:00 +00002007-08-28T15:00:17.156-04:00I found this site and decided to post my map below.

Mom had some minor skin surgery and I came to take her and to support her. She has worked so hard to help Dad with his journey of illness. She was so nervous this afternoon going to the office. The procedure was completed in less than 15 min. and she was laughing and having fun leaving with 6 stitches on her back.
