Hi.  Hope you missed me.  I did not really intent to not post but obviously I did not post.

I have been busy catching up on things I got behind on when I had company  (YEE HAA for company)   (Come back and I will LEARN how to keep on living), and when I was gone.

Bart dropped by this afternoon.  Always good to spend time with my kids.  We had a nice visit.   He will be spending time with his granddaughters, Abbie and Adria this weekend which means the world to him.

The main reason you did not hear from me is that my Nicky is sick.  He has an ear infection and is not happy with the treatment required.   When he did not want to go for his morning walk, I knew that he needed to see a veterinarian.    He has an ear infection and is generally run down from that.  Cost a fortune, but he is worth it.  The only creature that is ALWAYS there for me because he has no other obligations.

Please keep praying for our Jim who is having complications from hie surgry.

Just got back from Writer's Club.   We are going to be Kindle Publishing an anthology of our work early next year.   I will let you all know when we get it out.

Was busy all day just with writing and bookkeeping and going to the bank and grocery store.   I also had a plumber by to adjust the heat levels in the guest bath.     See, Bill, I do listen to you.   I wish you were here now, though, the mirrored doors on the pantry came off the track and I don't know how to get them back on.    I'll find someone to help me.   I am learning how to ask:)

Tomorrow will also be very busy with errands.   Then I have a day at home again.  I like it when the days work out that way.

Get well quick, Jim.

I was home all day today.    I like those days, but not all the time.   You all know me and know that I am a social person.  Darned near drove Dick nuts:)    He would have been content to just be home ALL the time with just me.  (Quite a complement)   He did like family things though.   Loved the holidays and when we spent time with ANY of the kids or family.  

I got SO much done today.   I am ready for Bible study, Writier's club, the Lawton Celtic group and my CWI updates.  

Nicky and I went for two walks around the block.   I "agreed" to a second one because - when walking this morning, Bart called and I lost one of my rosaries as I fumbled for the phone and tried to hang on to Nicky and a poop bag.   Believe it or not.  I did find the rosary.   Not a big thing, it is losing beads and requires concentration but it was made by a dear friend, Esther.  Thank you Esther.

Eating is easy.  I have leftovers until at least Thursday:)

Tomorrow will be quiet too but I do have a couple of things to do and must go to the bank and the grocery store.  I am almost out of PEANUT BUTTER.    Cannot happen.

A beautiful day.  Kind of quiet after Leslie and Bill left.  I miss the company.

But a beautiful day.

Went to mass this morning and visited with my Holy Family friends.  Met a couple of new army transfers in.  Always good and always will be.

The rest of the day was quiet.  Didn't hear from a soul.  Called Leslie this evening (I knew that they were home safe and sound but wanted to just check in.) She was making minestrone soup from my knock off recipe.  I am so proud.

So now, time for settling into bed.

Love you all

Mary
