It&#8217;s about two kids who meet, one&#8217;s a nerd and the other\u00a0one is a full of life girl. They become friends, grow up and marry and grow old together. Then the old\u00a0lady dies\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0the old man is left with one wish on his mind. To complete a dream his wife had.\u00a0 So he blows up hundreds of balloons that carry him and his house\u00a0and a little boy scout stowaway to the adventure of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>In one scene of the movie, the old lady is becoming ill and can no longer walk up a hill where they have picnicked often.\u00a0 She gasps for breath at the exertion.\u00a0 I have become that old lady.<\/p>\n<p>For the past several months I have gone through a myriad of tests in Florida and here in my state and the doctors could find nothing wrong except I had a slow heart rate and an extra beat to my heart.\u00a0 They think they have controlled the extra beat, but my heart rate is not what it should.\u00a0 My heart beats at forty or fifty beats a minute and the average for women&#8217;s is in the sixties.\u00a0\u00a0 It has become increasingly difficult for me to climb stairs or walk any distances.<\/p>\n<p>Sooooo, tomorrow, bright and early the doctor is putting in a pacemaker.\u00a0 I&#8217;m\u00a0 not thrilled about it, but it&#8217;s a last resort kind of thing. I pray this will take care of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u00a0believe in God and are a praying person, please send up\u00a0a prayer for me that all will go well.\u00a0\u00a0If I wake up and see Jesus&#8217; face or David&#8217;s face, I will be just as happy so I&#8217;m not worried. It&#8217;s just an inconvenience to me and I will be glad when it is this time tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I have so\u00a0much more to tell you about a little trip we took this past weekend on the back roads\u00a0of Indiana.\u00a0 There are lots of surprises when one takes the back roads.\u00a0\u00a0 One never knows\u00a0what\u00a0they will come across.\u00a0 So after this is all over, I will tell you about our trip.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to good health and may I have it soon.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you seen the Disney movie, Up?\u00a0 It&#8217;s a delightful movie about love, loss and renewal and I love it.
