He Left A Memory No One Could Steal

We lost a loved one early Sunday morning. My dear Uncle Johnny had fallen asleep on the couch watching the KU game on Saturday night. This wasn't unusual so my Aunt Susie left him there to sleep. She awoke the next morning to go for a bike ride with my Dad, and she talked to him as she usually did. When he did not reply she tried to wake him, but to her horror he was ice cold. He had been complaining of a chest pain and trouble breathing for the past week, but he didn't want to go to the doctor because he said his doctor wasn't there this weekend and he was taking benedryl anyway so there was no point. This was not the case however. The coroner's report yesterday said that he had suffered a major heart attack. You should all know that he was only 47 years old.

Everyone should know he warning signs of a heart attack. Here are two websites that tell you signs and symptoms of heart attacks in men. These are two websites that I trust so that is why I chose them.

Here are websites for heart attack signs and symptoms for women:

Please know these for yourself, and for your loved ones. Sometimes they can be prevented so educate yourself.

Since we were at my aunt's house the majority of the day yesterday we had a very simple dinner. I had some left over taco meat that I had frozen from a month ago so I just defrosted it. I then took some taco shells, filled them with taco meat and shreadded cheese then baked at 350 for 10-15 min. Serve immediately though because otherwise the grease will soak through the taco if sitting there for a bit, and the tacos then fall apart. You then top them with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy. Simple, even if you don't have pre-made taco meat. All you'd have to do is brown about a pound of ground beef in a skillet then follow the directions on your seasoning packet and you're done with the meat.
