My Watch Has Ended

I know I have been missing for a while. Life has had me busy taking care of my parents. Especially my dad. He had a mass on his bladder and Dementia. He fought. He struggled. He hung on for as long as he could. He passed away on the 16th of May. He will be missed. I have a lot more to say, but, not right now.

White Abundance, a Blogophilia Write

I turned to walk quickly back toward the house. I had to get my back pack. I didn’t know why we were being summoned, just that we were. I didn’t know why Ducky was back, just that he was. I had stored the bag securely in a special area of the garage, hidden yet accessible. The minute I grabbed the straps, my jeans and hooded changed into the dress of the wood. The soft, yet sturdy leggins of…

Christmas Comforts...a Blogophilia inspired write

Christmas is in the past, the new year begun. Still, thoughts and memories of Christmas linger. I have yet to take down any of the decorations and lights. I know I need to put them away. If I leave them out too long the cats will destroy them, simply by playing. I haven’t seen any signs of malicious intent, but then again, they are cats so maybe.  It took me a while to move all of the storage…

New Day, New Way A Blogophilia Write

Walking across the backyard I stopped at the edge of the Wood. Winter has never been my favorite time of year, the Wood held that cold, naked look. Without the covering of leaves I could easily see among the trees. The hillside was littered with fallen branches and small, dead trees. A cold wind danced among the pines and what few leaves, brittle and brown,  that still clung to the trees.…

Hurricane Hugo Anniversary, Thirty-six Years Later

This is its thirty-sixth anniversary and I’m remembering Hurricane Hugo.  I had been following its track for days, just as so many others had done. We are so far inland, it should not have reached us here. The day before we were warned that there would be high winds. We should secure anything and everything that could be blown about. I was moving things into our storage building when my husband…

Yesterday, Adventures at the Show and Shine

Yesterday, was an amazing day. Was it perfect? Was it without glitches? I’m sure there were moments that were not optimal, but didn’t ruin the day. Yesterday, the Love Like Lauren Foundation had their annual fundraising Jeep show an shine event. It is what it sounds like. A lot of Jeeps show up filled with people not only wanting to have a good time, but to support an organization that helps…

Try One of These

I thought I might hedge my bets and start a different fundraiser. I don’t push them too much, but help would be greatly appreciated. I have the trees that need to be cut up into firewood. I either need the equipment to do it myself, or the money to pay someone to do it for me. Having my own equipment would make it possible for me to do more work later on with other trees that are down around the…

Mom Care, Kitten Care, Dad Care

Tomorrow will be busy. Mom has an appointment with her optometrist, still following up on her cataract surgery. Hopefully that will not last too long. My sister-in-law will be staying with dad while we are gone. A little after one I have an appointment for the kittens to be seen at the local low cost clinic for an upper respiratory infection. They will get their first physical, a couple shots…

Contemplation on Memories

When you are scrolling through memories on social media and a realization hits you hard. In the following, written on this day in 2019, I mentioned stopping to speak with my brother for a while. Not knowing then of course, but able to look back now from the distance of time, and realize something important. Time was short, and we had no way of knowing. We only had a few months left together. What…

I know I've Been Missing

Some days are a struggle, some are simply the passing of time as we make our way toward the next moment. The falls, the forgetfulness, the confusion all adding to daily challenges. But we continue forward, knowing that we don’t walk alone, even when sometimes it may feel that way. I recently had a third tree cut down. It was dead and dangerously close to the house. That makes three down trees…

Dehydration and Dead Trees

One hundred degree heat plus humidity. Not a comfortable day.  Tomorrow is supposed to be just as bad only it comes with the possibility of severe storms. I hope not as that tree isn’t down yet. But that’s not what I’m writing about. My dad once again is showing signs of dehydration. He hasn’t been going outside. They are keeping the air conditioning on all the time but he still is getting…

Update

I know I have been missing. Life has been busy, trying to take care of my parents. Between doctor visits, home health care visits, trips to the grocery store time slips away quickly. I did update that givesendgo account as I have run into an issue. A tree behind my house has died and most be cut down. One more expense I wasn’t fully prepared for. For those who have helped me in the past, once…

Birthday Memories

What do I write? What words can adequately express my thoughts and feelings on this day? Today, if you had not left us, you would have been 72 years old. Are earthly birthdays celebrated in Heaven or is it the day of arrival there? Maybe both. I’ve been scrolling through the memories that pop up, allowing all the emotions to return. I’ve been reliving the shared moments, even the struggles that…

Memories

I’m not getting to write as much at the moment. What with so much going on taking care of my folks. I’m sure once things calm down I’ll be able to create once again. Until then, here is a trip down memory lane. Back from a quick trip to the bank for mom. Sitting there in the drive through line waiting allowed for added time to think. I’ve had a few conversations face to face or online with…

Character

I watched a video earlier about how character of our children is more important than accomplishments. My son walked in as I was watching. Usually he makes some off the wall comment on the things I watch, but not this time. By the time the video ended I reminded him that I love him and that I’m very proud of him. He tried to shrug it off, but it stuck, I know it did. My son, has grown into a…

Respect

The following is something that showed up in my memories. Still true and timely. In Respectful Memory It is Memorial Day weekend. Some people are off from work. Some are taking in the variety of vacation spots are the country. Other people will be spending time with friends and family with a back yard barbecue. I wonder, if during all of the laughter and enjoyment, there will be a moment of…
