Y'all Ready For Some MORE Pictures? :)

By Bill Craig


This is the Methodist Church where Dondra and I were married. It's very small and could almost be considered a chapel. Small membership too, but ya know what? THAT is just fine with the "German Boy"! I LOVE small churches.



This one is at the altar, and were my knees a'knockin? Yeah, they were!



I plan to add more ASAP, but I'm having difficulty with PICASA, since they are copyrighted, and it will only let me save certain ones to MY PICTURES, sorry!



Remember to click to feed and click to vote, please?

I haven't given up, even though I think THEY have. I still think we can do this so let's do it! :) Just checked and Paulding Humane has now dropped to #12 in our state, so if you know someone who doesn't know about clicking and voting, please tell 'em okay? Also remember that every time you click the ad box PHS and Alzheimer's Research share in the proceeds! :)

Thanks for your visit! I love y'all! Enjoy this pretty song!

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the pictures, looking forward to more.

Once again congratulations to you and Dondra. She must be a very special lady to partner up, again, with such a very special fella.

I love you posting music video's and especially love Our House. Hope this runs true in your house.

When it comes to compliments, women are ravenous, bloodsucking
monsters, always wanting more, more, more! And if you give it to 'em, you'll get back plenty in return.

Good advice,,

Later y'all, BeckyP

As long as I have Dondra and Bert (the cat), my guitars and you, our "House.. will be a very, very fine house", indeed.

If I didn't before, let me just point out again that the two of us never married anyone else in the entire time we were "apart".

Neither side of the family accepted the divorce as it usually happens.

My Mom and Dad loved Dondra, and never ever "let go". And neither did the "In-Laws" let go of me.

SOMEBODY (ies) KNEW there was a love running very, very deep and would "surface" sooner or later.

Becky?

Are me and you supposed to know each other?

It was totally "MY" mistake.

Sorry if this posts twice, but I'm not sure it went through the first time.

No Bill, no mistake on your part. You don't know me as making my acquaintance in person, but I've been reading for sometime on the alz.org forums and following your posts and blog. My first introduction to you was here:

http://alzheimers.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/204109581/m/659104501?r=534102531#534102531

I'm drawn to anyone with a great sense of humor, especially under such dire circumstances, animal lovers, musicians, adventurers and all around great guy. So naturally I was drawn for whatever reason to you and your life. So therefore I know you much better than you know me.

Yes indeed, there must have been something still deep inside both of you that kept you connected and then reunited.

Better stop or I could go on and on with this.

Anyway, take care of YOU and YOURS as best you can with unconditional love and life will be good to you for as long as it can.

I'll be watching and reading about this next phase of your life.

Later y'all, Becky

Thanks, Suzette!

My friend and dementia counsellor Suzette recently wrote a very informative (and flattering) article about the "German Boy" and his upcoming bike ride, and you may see it by clicking the title of this entry. I am very appreciative of her and the GA chapter of the Alzheimer's Association for supporting me, and my ride is dedicated to them, Alzheimer patients and their caregivers as well as the four-footers. Incidentally, D and I were finally able to attend this month's Forget Me Not luncheon (for Alzheimer's patients and their care givers) at South of La Paz Mexican restaurant in Atlanta and I'd like to thank my friend for making this possible. Really , Suzette's so sweet she makes ya wanna roll over and do all kinds of doggy tricks for her! I kid, of course, but I don't think I have ever met a more charismatic person in my life. It was also a pleasure to meet and converse with Kathy Simpson who also works with the Georgia chapter. Kathy and I have e-m...

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t...

Alzheimer's Advocacy Forum 2011

I have been given a great opportunity and honor from my local Alzheimer's Association and my counsellors Suzette and Kathy, and I wanted to tell y'all about it. It is a chance to be granted a scholarship to attend the Public Policy Forum/Advocacy Action Summit which will be May 15-17 2011 in Washington, DC. It will be a time to become educated about the issues, learn new skills, network with fellow advocates and take our message directly to members of Congress to fight for our legislative agenda and I am honored to have been chosen to have my name submitted for this event. If I am chosen to receive the scholarship, I plan not only to participate in all of the above events, but to serve as a "reporter" and write about what I see and experience there. This will also allow me to put to use my journalistic skills which have been "moth-balled" of late. Quoting from Karen Kauffman's* article, 2010 was a year of optimism for those of us in Alzheimer's Advo...
