Normally life yields significant material for me to write about. Regrettable I’m finding ALS has slowed our life down enough that not as much has been happening. Anyway here is this summer’s reportable Smiths of Georgia stuff.

The two big events were the passing of Linda’s father and Lexy getting her license. Of course Linda father’s death was sad.  It had been the last few years that the two of them reconnected after many years of estrangement. It was good they had this time together. 

Lexy got her license and quickly adopted my car as her own.  Her logic was because I no longer drive the extra car was hers.  Female logic starts really young!  Well ten days later she totals the car, guess who it belongs too now.  By the grace of God, seat belts and air bags no one was hurt. 

Dani has moved up to high school.  Within two weeks a seventeen year old boy wanted to take her out.  She’s fourteen.   NO!  was the answer.  This stuff makes me crazy. 

I’ve added a couple assistive devices that keep me somewhat independent.  The Toys that come with this disease gain sophistication as my symptoms progress.  I’ll do a separate entry on the toys for PALS (person with ALS).
