This picture was taken 66 yrs ago today. Mom and dad's wedding day. They got married in my grandparents house then lived in the little apartment over the garage for a few years.

A year ago today, we had the memorial service for dad. We couldn't have it right when he passed which was 12/30/20 so mom picked what would have been their 65th anniversary- something dad was so proud of and told everyone he could.

Beautiful picture, Debbie. Your mom and my mom look like they could be sisters.

Blessings to you as you navigate one year since your dad's service.

Lanette, Your husband must have been quite a guy. My daughter-in-law's father asked his nurse when she was going to free Willy during one of his hospitalizations (he was catheterized.) lol. I am so sorry you lost that fella. Sending energy and clarity of thought as you go through this phase of your life.

Lanette - sending thoughts, love and hugs.

Pip - I am impressed that you kept/keep journals all those years, it is not something I have ever been consistent with. And reading them could be so emotional.

Lisa, glad Corey is ok

Debbie - your mom was a young bride, I can't imagine what kind of silly choice I would have made at just about 15....

DH is not feeling very well today. I hoped we could do some food shopping together. Instead, I’ll pick up medicine for him and visit the grocery store for food items. Today I’ll be the go-for— As in go for prescriptions & go for groceries. I miss grocery shopping together. :ohwell:

Hi ladies,

Heaven gained two "Good Fellas" this week. Ray Liotta and my Italian husband.

Long story, but he collapsed early Saturday morning and I called the ambulance. They transported him to the ER, and finally he had all of the tests he'd been avoiding. Circulation was virtually nil in his legs from blocked arteries, heart also in bad shape. Liver failing, kidneys failing, and he had pneumonia.

Last night at 8:30 he went to join Sophie and his many buddies. My friend Tiff and I were there with him.

Nurses came in frequently and checked on him. Among his last intelligible words:

"I haven't had this many different women touching my d*ck since I was 18."

Good fella and smart *kitten* until the very end. That was him. I'm gonna miss him a lot.

It's going to be a busy week.

Oh Lanette ... I just burst into tears ... there are no words. My heart is just hurting for yours. Hugs.

I am also very unhappy with my neighbors today. Unprovoked, their Brindle German Shepard came into my yard and attacked my 18mos old chocolate lab. My son was able to physically remove the shepard off of our pup, but still our lab sustained multiple wounds. Son and husband are at the Vet ER. I'm hoping that most of the wounds are superficial, but they are finding many deep puncture wounds and these, of course, need to be checked out. The neighbors are, understandably, upset by their dog's behavior ... but to be honest, he's a very strange dog and they have told me more than once that he is not to be trusted. So why do they leave him out without being tied or fenced?? Our poor lab didn't have a clue as to what to do.
He was overtired and overheated, having just had a play session out back ... he was just trotting along in his own yard minding his own business when the other dog charged him. Poor Cecil ... he just cried and cried as the other dog tried to kill him. The neighbors have called me and come over twice to find out how our lab is doing. I don't know yet and I'm not really wanting to talk to them at the moment.

And just to add more fun to our day, I buried the John Deere in mud while mowing ... sigh.

Afternoon ladies

I took my brother out to lunch today at a nice restaurant on the river... it was sooo nice just for us to get together ..its been ages..so all in all a great weekend..
He is coming down to meet Miles tomorrow.

Beth, I just have no words. I genuinely hope at a minimum they plan to pick up the vet's bill for Cecil. That's literally criminal neglect on their part, to leave the Shepherd loose. OK, I was wrong, and I did have words. I hope Cecil is OK. These kind of attacks can leave dogs with a form of PTSD, bless them. Cecil's sweet temperament and all the love for him in your family may help him ride it out, though. Thinking about you.

I am very sorry Cecil was attacked by the neighbor’s dog. At the very least, the neighbors should pay Cecil’s vet bill. I hope he’ll recover fully from his injuries. ❤️

I’ve done my errands for the day. Groceries are in the refrigerator waiting their turn to be cooked. 😊

So sorry to hear lanette, my heart is with you

Lanette, I am so sorry about your husband. Hugs.

Beth, prayers for your sweet pup.

I’m feeling sad, guilty, angry and excited this week. Excited because I am attending Annual Conference this week as a district member at large. The last two years were virtual, and I’m excited to see my friends from across the conference in person again. Sad because my Dad is deteriorating and needs even more attention. Guilty because I can’t be there for my mother and fulfill my church obligations both. And angry because I feel guilty and can’t enjoy my feelings of excitement. Also angry because my mother refuses to even consider paying outside help. My sister is due to come back next week, but I don’t know how long she expects us to just stop our own lives to sit with Daddy. If we could just pay for an outside sitter a couple of nights a week it would help so much.
