Well, after a bad start it all turned out pretty good! House cleaned and polished for Sunday, Jilly yapping at blow up ghosts on our walks, me writing 2 birthday cards, and one long email to cousin in Australia, Jillys home cooked dog food cooked for the next 3 days, and yellowing foliage cut back in the garden until the knees became too creaky. Now the Bean and I can sit back with no guilty conscience and watch our favourite tv programs tonight, well she usually snoozes unless a dog appears on the screen, and alls well in our neat little world.
Have a lovely relaxing evening girls,
Anne the organized! (For now anyway).2 -

Marie, if you right click on it, there is a place where it says save image as....save it to your pictures and it should be able to be viewed or printed once you save it. Otherwise send me your address in a private message and I will send it to you.0 -
Dearest Buzz ~ You are an amazing lady and I know, surrounded by family and friends that love you so much, you'll stay strong as you bid Mike au revoir, 'til you meet again.
I'll be with you in spirit.
Love you ~ Jackie

Happy Sunday!
Cubs lost, my dream is dwindling. There is still time if they win tonight so here's hoping. I am staying in today and doing nothing but vegging. I have another busy week, going to see Robby in his costume tomorrow morning with Bryanna, then lunch with my buddy Joe, Tuesday is a Holy Day so Mass at noon, Tuesday night a GR Meeting, Wednesday watching Robby for another doctor's appointment for Lisa, Wednesday night bingo, Thursday my meeting and possibly back to Robby's unless Lisa takes him with for another appointment and Thursday night exhausted. And people ask me what to you do to keep busy since you don't work. lol
Gayla sent me an email and wants me to be sure to tell you she said hello. She is busy with three grandchildren and arthritis issues but I did give her the link in case she wants to drop in to say hello.
Chris, sorry about your post.
Marie, the poem will be in the mail tomorrow. You picked a bad day to watch the Cubs.
Anne, are you trying to say Jilly doesn't like Halloween?
Patsy, you are not odd at all, I am a late night person also but I sleep later than you do, sometimes to 9 or later.
Marcella Glad you got organized and can enjoy your Sunday.
Lin What a beautiful graphic.
Nothing like being home, I love my place.

Just arrived at Kathy's and she has the house decorated so cute for Halloween. Isaac is having his nap
now so waiting for him to get up. Dave and Tom went up to the cottage and my nephew Glenn and his son are coming too.
Buzz- It will be a hard day for you so thinking about you.

I think the airshow was more tiring than I expected. I didn't feel well this morning, so I went back to bed, and slept thru the day. Headache is gone now. It was very warm. I stayed hydrated, there was plenty to drink, tea, water, sodas, beer and wine. Water tasted best. Jim was pretty tired, ready to go as soon as the airshow main attraction finished. That was the Thunderbirds.
Hugs to Buzz, everyone have a good night.

Well, here it is, "The Party's Over" and the Celebration was (dare I say it?) a huge success. The first thing upon entering the auditorium was a table filled with the most gorgeous bouguets I've ever seen. And no address on the ticket of the largest but since it came from Mike's son's partners, I can get it fairly easily. The guests were literally a mob spilling out the doors! I don't think anyone stayed home! The Chaplain set the tone when he opened with memories of how he first met Mike and me, and how the two men hit it off immediately while his wife and I rolled our eyes in pretended pain from their jokes! His service had us laughing and crying at the same time. Mike's son started his speech by apologizing that since Reverend Joel had stolen all his material, he had little left to say! But actually, he gave us a very uplifting short glimpse of his Dad's finest hours when faced with life's difficulties. And the musician daughter spoke beautifully and played on her iPod Richard Tucker's rendition of Exodus. It was exquisite!Darling Meggie read Deanie's Facebook paragraph, and I asked to tell about two traits I adored about my husband: 1. He never had a bit of envy for anyone or anything! He shared everyone's joys, sorrows and successes equally, and I found that an invaluable asset! 2. He was competitive only in sports! Pretty darn rare in today's society! I discovered in his drawer a Rolex watch I had no recollection of him ever wearing. Perhaps it was a gift, but it never occurred to him to impress by wearing the thing! And I was able to use his table-hopping dinner joke, so familiar to everyone who adored him here, by asking "Don't you have anything better to do today?" We will all miss that quip of his. As the microphone was passed around, it was so gratifying to hear how missed he already is by so many people. Oh...and someone had made a phone call today asking all the men to please wear their most outrageous sweaters in honor of the "sweater man" we will miss so much. I hope our video my DGD took on my iPad will show that! So we will have wonderful memories of a great guy instead of the haunted eyes of the past few weeks, and I hope he viewed and loved it from wherever he may be! R.I.P., Mikey; you've more than earned it! Buzz

You've brought a tear to my eye Buzz and I oh so wish I'd had an opportunity to meet the man. It's obvious yesterday was a perfect celebration of Mike's life so all that's left for me to comment right now is GORGEOUS when looking at that photo!
Hugs and love Jackie 0 -
Oh BUZZ, you've brought tears to my eyes as well. What a beautiful looking man. What a wonderful celebration for a much loved gentleman.
I too wish I'd had the privilege to meet Mike.
Hugs from Anne.❤️0 -
Buzz, Thank you for sharing about Mike's "Celebration". That picture is amazing! Not only does it show how handsome he was, but the picture itself, seems to have captured that strength of character you spoke of.
Sending hugs and blessings,
