Well, I just wasn't up to posting yesterday.     Some of my readers know why, but for those that don't.

I got a call at about 7AM from my brother, Jeff, calling to tell me that my brother, George, who lives near Houston, had passed away at 5:30AM.      Betsy called Jeff to ask him to let the rest of us siblings know.    He has bravely fought cancer for years now and the last few weeks especially, was going down fast.    There was nothing any medicine could do for him and he has gone ahead of us to join his Courtney.     We will miss our Smiling George forever, but he did not need to hang around when he was so weak and sick.   Pray for Betsy and Shawn and his family.    George will be  safe now.

So I called all the rest of my siblings because I needed to hear their voices.    They seemed to feel the same way.    We shared and remembered  and  missed him all at the same time.  

Aside from that, which was enough the days have been quiet.   I did get a haircut which got me out of the house for an hour anyway.

Bless you all.   Remember how special each and every one of you is.

Another quiet day.    I didn't go anywhere.     Bart dropped by this afternoon, thank heavens to give me a bread from me and Vita.

It was in the mid to upper 80s today so very warm.   Not as warm as we have to look forward to, of course.

I did some cleaning and worked on my Aerogarden.    I am going to plant tomatoes in it tomorrow.wish me luck.   I am sure they will start but wonder if I will get them to maturity.

Love You

The only voice I heard today was my Bart.   He calls me every day and when he is out usually stops to check on me.    I would be lost without him.

I WAS home all day.    Did some cleaning and sorting but should be much more active.   I do take Miss Vita for walks several times a day.     She is going to get spoiled.    The neighbors are impressed with her new hairdo.     I always tell them that she got a nail treatment too:)
What a Diva she is.

Tomorrow I am going to do a few things with my plants and gardens as it is going to be warm and as it is supposed to really rain tonight the ground will be easy to work with.

Nothing else to report

I had my carpet cleaned today.     So glad I know Jamal and his helper.    Not that strangers wouldn't be welcome but it is good to have someone in the house that you know.    Nobody just comes around and I can't just go somewhere either.

I did go to the bank to replenish my cash supply.    Oops.   My sons sat that I give out too much information:)    Well It is not enough that it should be a temptation to anyone.

Vita and I went for three walks today.   Not long walks but we got out and moved a bit.
Did I tell you that I heard from all my 6 kids for Mother's day and I feel very blessed.   I wish I could get us all together sometime.    Maybe when this pandemic is over we could consider that.

Weather is a bit chilly and windy.   But is supposed to go up into the 80s in the next couple of days.   More rain too.   The rain we got was surely welcomed, though the thunder terrified my Vita.

I must be feeling better these days.     I am actually getting things done around the house, including some things that I don't like to face, like repairing my shed in back and getting sod for the back yard.
Not quite ready for the sod, but someone Bart and Barb knows is going to get my shed on a new wood foundation.  

Today was quiet =  It was also lovely.   It is almost 4PM and 71 degrees.    I have the house open to let in fresh air.

Still can't get over how different Vita looks with her new do.     One of the neighbors asked if I got a new dog.    The only other neighbor I saw, knew it was a haircut.    She looks cute and is very soft.

My neighbor, Beverly, cooked a turkey that she had in her freezer yesterday.     Then she had so much turkey because she lives alone too that she called me and another neighbor to give some away.     It is VERY good.

Tomorrow I will have my carpets cleaned.

Hope all are well and being good.

Still find Sunday without Mass empty.    I did watch it on YouTube but don't get communion.    Our diocese is allowing masses during the week starting on May 19th.   Communion, only with the host, will be offered.    I HAVE to go.    I will stay as distanced as I can and use the mask AND sanitizer, but I HAVE to receive communion.

Took my Vita in to Pet Smart for nail clipping, a bath and a hair cut for the summer.    She was scared but behaved beautifully.      She sure looks different unless you look directly in to her face.     I am sure she will feel better on our walks on the warm days now.

I got quite a few things done around the house and got calls from my kids so felt very loved today.

In this pandemic, I was remembered!!!!!
