Friends
Both EJ and our son work four 10-hour shifts at their companies. EJ works Friday through Monday and JJ works Monday through Thursday. Mondays are the only days when they are both at work and I have the day to myself. I still accomplish… Continue Reading “Friends”
Oh, Christmas Tree
I wasn’t planning to write for a few days because I know everyone is busy with the holidays. However, I was cuddling Little Bear and meandering through Christmas memories and thought up this true story.: I used to love decorating for Christmas. I had… Continue Reading “Oh, Christmas Tree”
On Our Walk….
We have had some warm days, but the weather has a hint of autumn in it now. Some of the leaves on the trees are getting edged with color. I love every season of the year, but I think autumn is my favorite. I… Continue Reading “On Our Walk….”
Times Two
This has been a busy week, relatively speaking. Sunday afternoon EJ and I went grocery shopping. We have always gone shopping together. Going together makes grocery shopping more fun and less of a chore. We enjoy being together and with both of us adding… Continue Reading “Times Two”
Boogerized
Today was mostly almost good. I always make Challah bread on Fridays for Shabbat. I always begin making it as soon as I get up in the morning, even before I make coffee or check Facebook, because I have to prepare the dough, let… Continue Reading “Boogerized”
Mostly Good!
I woke up this morning when I smelled the coffee. EJ had gotten up before me and made a pot and the aroma wafted all the way upstairs. By the time I got downstairs–before 7 a.m.–EJ was falling asleep in his chair. He works… Continue Reading “Mostly Good!”
A Wintry Day
We woke up to a beautiful wintry world. I don’t know what the official totals are, but I think we got at least 7 inches of new snow. I believe I must be the only person in the whole Midwest who welcomed the snow… Continue Reading “A Wintry Day”
Day 1 of Cycle 3
Yesterday we spent much of the day cleaning the house and doing chores. After we were finished getting everything done, we sat down and watched a favorite Netflix series with delightfully quirky characters. This morning we woke up to another six or so inches… Continue Reading “Day 1 of Cycle 3”
Hunkering Down
First thing this morning I got dressed and went outside to care for the outside cats. I was worried about the cats being too cold in this weather, but we can’t risk them bringing any illnesses into the house with JJ’s immune system so… Continue Reading “Hunkering Down”
JJ’s Cat
Yesterday when I got back from the post office, I found a drop of blood that was slightly smaller than a dime on the floor. I thought that probably one of the cats had injured himself, so I began to search for more drops,… Continue Reading “JJ’s Cat”
Autumn Projects
Yesterday morning EJ and I got another load of firewood from our friend RB’s place. We just put the wood into the back of the pickup truck rather than try to pull the trailer home. Today’s wood was heavier–we took the lighter pieces… Continue Reading “Autumn Projects”
The Hospice Store
Today was a splendiforous day. I love that word. It just rolls off the tongue. It means magnificent and wonderful. After JJ had left for school, EJ and I set off to the hospice store in a nearby town. The hospice store is a thrift… Continue Reading “The Hospice Store”
A Dagobah Day
Order and sanity is returning to my home. The cats all seem to be in good health…or on their way there. After we took Luke to the vet the other day, we put him in the bathroom. The bathroom is smaller than the back… Continue Reading “A Dagobah Day”
Not the Worst of Summers
It also has not been the worst of summers. It has also not been the best of summers. Compared to problems many other people are experiencing, our lives are greatly blessed and our problems are small. I have a loving husband. My son is… Continue Reading “Not the Worst of Summers”
NOOOOOOO!
Last night I saw that Timmy has worms. Will the nightmare never end? I woke in the night thinking that we needed to give worm medicine to all the cats, and wondering how we could afford it. I called the vet this morning and… Continue Reading “NOOOOOOO!”
