Slow  Dance  This  is a poem  written by a teenager with cancer. She wants to  see how many  people get her poem.  It is quite the poem  Please pass it  on. This  poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a  New York  Hospital . It was sent  by a medical doctor -  Make sure to read what is in the closing statement  AFTER THE  POEM. SLOW DANCE Have you ever  watched  kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to  the  rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a  butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the  fading  night? You better slow down. Don't  dance so  fast. Time is short. The music  won't  last. Do you run through each day On  the  fly? When you ask How are you? Do you hear  the  reply? When the day is done Do you lie  in your  bed With the next hundred chores  Running through  your head? You'd better  slow down Don't dance so  fast. Time is  short. The music won't  last. Ever told your  child,  We'll do it  tomorrow? And in your  haste, Not see  his sorrow? Ever lost  touch, Let a good  friendship die  Cause you  never had time  To call  and say,'Hi' You'd  better slow down. Don't dance  so fast. Time  is short. The music won't  last. When you run  so fast to get somewhere You  miss half the fun of getting  there. When you worry and hurry  through your  day, It is like an unopened  gift.... Thrown  away. Life is not a  race. Do take it  slower Hear the  music Before the song is  over. ------------  --------  FORWARDED  E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL  COUNT. Dear All:  PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know -  even to those you don't  know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon  leave this world  due to cancer. This young girl has 6 months left  to live,  and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to  live their life to the fullest, since she never will.  She'll  never make it to prom, graduate from high school,  or get married and have a  family of her own. By you sending  this to as many people as  possible, you can give her and her family a  little hope, because with every name  that this is sent to, The American  Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name  to her treatment and recovery  plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know  that we can at least send  it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just  your  time! PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.  Dr.  Dennis Shields, Professor Department of Developmental and  Molecular  Biology 1300  Morris Park  Avenue Bronx , New York   10461

 

Annual Boy Scout Winter Campout Rendezvous
                       February 19th, 20th, & 21st, 2010
                               Kaufman, Texas
Booshway~ Frank Shiels
Segundo ~ Samantha Three Jugs

  ~ No Camp Fee
  ~ Hawk, Knife, Archery & Rifle Competition
     (if there's enough interest)
  ~ Free Saturday Breakfast (at Three Jugs camp)
  ~ Free Saturday Evening Meal (at Troop Leaders Camp)
  ~ Award for 'Best Vous Camp'. A chance for you to show off you best period
camp. Selected Boy Scouts & Leaders will judge.
  ~ On 500+ acres of land that has been in the Shiels family since it was land
granted to them by the State of Texas. Ask grandpa Shiels about the original
deed. It states that the land was measured by the 'turn of the wagon wheel'.

      Once again the Boy Scout Troop Leaders are inviting all who enjoy a good
rendezvous to join them for their annual February campout. Last year we
introduced the boys to the spirit of the 'vous with great response. They had a
chance to forge a knife, make a possibles bag, learn fire starting and compete
in the hawk, knife & black powder rifle competition.
      You won't be asked to do anything other than set up camp and enjoy the
company. This will allow the boys to experience a more 'vous type atmosphere,
hopefully opening their eyes a little wider to what a real vous would be like.
Who knows, these boys may be the future of our 'vous.
      Don't get me wrong, those of you who would like to help, people are always
needed to help with the various competitions. If you have one event that you
would like to help with or be in charge of, your help would be more than
welcome.
      This is a chance for you to camp and show it off to boys who are eager to
learn more about everything from your favorite tent styles to why you wear your
jacket that way.
      This is our third time to be invited to this gathering and it would be nice
if we could get some response from other vous'rs. The few who have helped in the
past years are returning to help, but having those few people show up to
represent the many rendezvous'rs out there is just ridiculous.

For more information please contact Susan (Three Jugs) at 903-340-1788 or email
her at: rockinbranch@...

The following is off the www.texianlegacy.com page. This is always a great event. Hope you can make it!   Taylor January 22-24, 2010 - Pilgrim's Camp and Swap Meet. This year we will be at the Presidio La Bahia in Goliad. As before, we are stating that the public is invited, in the intent of making sure our invitation is not misconstrued as "members only". -- Program TBA but will include Charlie Yates on "A History of the Presidio". There has been a request for a presentation on "Becoming a Reenactor: How To Go From Spectator To Joining In The Fun". Email Jerry Tubbs if you want in on that. Folks from several different Texas Rev groups have joined together to organize this annual event with the goal of providing a friendly, safe, informative and fun place for "civilians" to explore their interest in living history and for "old hands" to pass on their knowledge and expertise. Camping will be available in two camps; one for modern camping and one for period camping. Camp setup will be on Friday and we can tear down as late as Sunday afternoon. There will be an all-day opportunity for one-on-one discussions on the various levels of living history; the philosophy and goals of our avocation; weapons, clothing and tools of the period; historical research, and, above all else: safety issues. In order to provide an environment most conducive to learning, the event will be focused toward living historians, reënactors, those curious about our hobby, and those interested in possibly joining us. If you have been interested in this part of Texas history, or have wondered "how could I", then this is the event for you. Ever wonder how this event got started? Click here. In conjunction with the "Pilgrim's" Camp, the "old hands" are encouraged to bring their surplus gear, equipment, clothes and accouterments for an old fashioned trading session and swap meet. Be sure to bring those items you no longer have a need for. If you're a living historian interested in helping lead one of the presentations or simply someone interested in getting involved in the wonderful world of early Texas, contact Jerry Tubbs (telephone 713-973-1136) or Charlie Yates. This year you will need to bring firewood and we will have real bathrooms (which also means water will be available). Of course, we are at the mercy of any burn bans, but at this site fire pits are allowed as long as you replace the sod, as usual. Since there will be visitors at the Presidio, period dress, though not required, is definitely encouraged. This event is rated 1.

Thank you Tim, for your compliments to me and Mama both, and for your kind wishes. She IS a good 'un, and a real pistol too. :-) Four ambulance rides for her this week and several emergency room visits kinda took their toll on both of us, thought I was gonna lose her last night, and have to make that choice whether to operate or not, but she seems to be rallying a little bit today and I am hopeful she can pull out of this. She's always been tough, she could climb up and over a barbed wire fence at the post, unaided, at age 87.

 

Hopefully if we can get her someplace where they can do physical rehab after they dismiss her and get her stronger, she can go back to assisted living where she was. I am sure her new boyfriend there misses her, and the other widow-ladies might make a move on him. :-) Been razzing her about that, makes her laugh. And to me, laughter is the best medicine there is.... Mama thinks so too, when she was pregnant with me, she prayed that I would have a sense of humor - let THAT be a lesson to ya to be careful what you ask for!LOL

Thanks, Cuz, you're a sweetheart for posting this, and I appreciate you doing it. This bunch is like a big family and I truly do appreciate the phone calls and emails of support that y'all sent.

 

My 95-year-old Mother fell last Tuesday at the assisted living place in Bastrop, and hit her head and there was a little bleeding inside the brain. Had to take her back and forth to the hospital in Smithville a couple of times, wound up at Brackenridge in Austin twice and now she is in ICU at Brackenridge. Last Thursday the neurosurgeon said they could do surgery to relieve the clot and the pressure on the brain, but he and I both felt that at her age, that "cure" is going to be harder on her than the condition is... But this morning the neurosurgeon said the blood clot is contained and they are not going to do surgery. One good thing is, she has not been on life support and won't be, because she is 95 and has some dementia, and does not want to be hooked up to a machine forever. She hasn't need it yet though anyway. She is conscious and is acting more like a regular 95-year-old nowadays, rather than her usual "acting-and- looking-20- years-younger" level, but is seeming to get a little better today in terms of staying awake a little better and being a bit more responsive. They will keep her another day for observation, and hopefully then medicare will kick in enough to get her some skilled-nursing/ rehab/physical therapy when she gets out, with the idea of returning to assisted living later if she is able. The assisted place where she lives is wonderful, but not set up for that level of care. So we are working it one day at a time, but things are looking a little better today.

 

Thanks again for your friendship, it really means a lot.

Patsy
