Where to start. I guess from when I got up! I realized that it was one year ago today that John passed away. In the midst of everything going on THAT was my first thought. But I changed and washed the bed sheets, showered, had breakfast, and went the the Flea Market for Jen’s Ninth’s Life Rescue. I always think I will NEVER find anything – but I walked in the door and Nate said, ‘Mom, when I saw that bench it reminded me of you!’ I said I’d look around and decide. I saw Sherree (Jen’s mom) at the front table, and she said, ‘Did you see that bench out there? It has MARGE written all over it.’ So — you can guess what I brought home! I scrubbed it and added the decals and there you go!
Kath gave me a little basket with rope handles that she didn’t want, so I scrubbed it, added the lamb that Mom made Autmn when she was born, (Autmn, not Mom!!!) and there you go again!
I had my eye on a purse at L&L, and decided since I was down that way I’d see if it was still there. It was, so … there you go! It has like ten different compartments, at least. It’s so organized it’s scary.
I spent a few hours helping Kathy pack boxes, load two vehicles, and take a trip to the new house. I can finally see that we are making progress! She was spending a few hours with Millie and Wyatt tonight so we stopped early. I came home and weed-whacked, pulled weeds, trimmed the Azealias, added a step by the deck to the fire pit, and moved my cement Bench. I plan to put pond stone around the bench, since I can’t mow under it. I love how it looks and it will be perfect for fire pit nights.
I bought 2 metal stars (one red one blue) and attached them to the deck rails by the fire pit. I took a close up of the blue one; you really can’t get a good idea as to how they look but for 50 cents I was totally happy!
June 4 – Tell about hot dog or marshmallow roasting. “Sometimes, not too often, we would roast marshmallows. Dad wouldn’t buy hot dogs. He heard they put ‘junk’ in the meat when they were grinding the meat. We had many at the cabin, as you will remember.” I think we all question the nutritional value of hot dogs!
