Mulched and bagged leaves for last time. Ran lawn mower dry and put away. Snow blower doesn’t seem that hard to use just a matter of doing it. New furnace filter. Truck had oil change. All my wintering over plants are downstairs under grow lights. Sprinklers blown out. Picked up water softener...

My daughter bought a Friendship Lamp for herself and me. Every morning we tap the light to say good morning. (Basically to check on me) She uses red, purple colors and I use blues and greens.

I had a Chatty Cathy too. First day I got her I fell on driveway and broke the torso. My dad duct taped her back together and said Good as New. 😂

Now that I’m by myself I always strap my Fanny pack on. Even to take garbage out or weed my garden. I keep telling myself to just hide a key outside but not comfortable. Hubby locked himself out one time and had to call a locksmith. He was thinking of breaking a basement window.

I remember hearing whispers from the adults when I was young about Ed Gein. To me he was the boogeyman. Now they have a series on him. The trailers are enough for me. Nope Nope Nope

I’m last one left. Three brothers passed age 8, 57 and 60.

It’s a new day. How are you doing Olivia? I just saw an interview with Jane Goodall. Don’t give up hope and keep fighting was the message I got from the program. ❤️

Living around Lake Superior I’ve gotten caught up in some cold and stormy weather. However the worst storms were living in North Dakota. The winds are strong and everything was flat.

Welcome! It’s coming up on 1 year since my husband passed. I’m more at peace or acceptance now. For me when those thoughts of guilt or should haves come to mind, I remind myself that the story has been told and the chapter has been written. There’s no going back. We are usually hardest on...

Nothing is guaranteed in life as we all know. Looks like you are counting your gratitudes. 😊

There’s a book called The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. The book explores all the different choices this woman could have made in her life and the aftermath. Basically a type of butterfly effect. It’s an interesting read. I’ve made mistakes and have paid the consequences. Would I change...

I’m taking a low dose of blood pressure pills but doctor has been suggesting me to raise the dosage. It’s hard to figure out what your blood pressure is when taking deep breaths can lower it and and having your mind race can raise it, all within 5-10 minutes. I’m lucky that in the past this...

Husband and brother were stationed in Adak, Alaska back in the 70’s. My brother asked me to write to his buddy because he wasn’t getting any mail from home. I was 16 and we wrote for about 2 years. Then he started calling me when I was over 18 and flew out to see me for the weekend. He went...

I’ve had vivid dreams of past lives. Was it real?? I believe they were. I’ve had a good life but like most of us, Ive had struggles. Right now I want to rest. The thought of having to do this all over again makes me cringe.

I looked deeper and found some. 👍
