Puppy, will we make it in time? Will this ornament come true?
Is it almost time to change our trajectory? I sure hope so!
It’s true…age is hitting us hard – gray hair, sunspots, etc but know what? It’s not too late. The final 1/3 of our lives and our greatest joy is straight ahead. Puppy, are you about ready to get this show on the road? Will I be making us Christmas candies this year? So fun!!! I’ll teach you how, okay!?
I love this song so much. For me, it represents your love for me and the boys and MY love for you and the boys. Either way – it fits perfectly. I hope you’re having a great day? I’m resting a bit and also working. I’ve got some “hamburger steaks” in the crock pot with lots of bell pepper and onions – smells great. It will be served over rice with a yummy simple salad. I surely wish I could share with you. How wonderful to be enjoying a simple Sunday afternoon with my honey. Know what? I’d make us some lactose/dairy free ice cream OR one of your favorites – fresh blackberry cobbler. I’m about to drive back to the storage room…just taking things there in small loads as possible. Enjoy the afternoon and keep me close – you know!! Be still and quiet…feel your heartbeat – that’s where you’ll find me. I love you! xo
Hoping you’ve had a nice day? Eat some good, healthy food today? If I was there, we’d have some yummy grilled steaks and a huge salad with everything under the sun in them. A loaded baked potato, too. Why not, right? I make a wonderful marinade for steaks – turns out super yummy every time.
Peachtree Junk came this afternoon and I’ve been busy preparing for them. They took away lots of junk so that’s a relief. Less to pack and store.
This song by Kenny is so special. Of course, we’re going to work hard to be certain your mind, body and especially your memory stay strong…no matter, his song about Alzheimers is so touching. I shared this video with you (related to MY dad) years ago…long before you were diagnosed with PD. Most people dx with PD maintain their memory (or most of it) until death. That’s great news!
Anyway, this song has so many parallels for you and us. From driving a chevy to his love for baseball…to struggles with his memory. It’s especially touching featuring a son (that is gay) whom loves his dad so much. The scenes in this video also call out to me…reminding me of our future (if we’re so blessed) and the MANY things we hope to experience together. The ocean waves engaging the beach…the long drives along the backroads of our home state….sunsets. Still so much to experience with one another.
I’m about to continue my work packing…I can’t imagine a day off? I can’t imagine a relaxing Friday night with my puppy? Hopefully someday. Get some good rest tonight and keep me close. You KNOW where I am…that’s were I live. I love you, Baby. xo
As you know, I love Carter – he is so fun to watch. I hope you’re having a great day? Tummy full? I just returned here from my client’s home – she has guests arriving this afternoon and wanted me to come “fluff” a bit. I brought some new pillow for her outdoor furniture, a few new potted plants, etc. Just got things looking nice.
As for the house and basement – my guys finished today around 3. It looks great – I’ll share a few images in a day or so. I’m definitely closer to listing now. YAY! Peachtree Junk will come tomorrow afternoon to collect some stuff then Monday my yard guys will return to clean up a bit, add fresh pine straw, etc. In the meantime, I’m packing (what’s new) lots of things that had to be moved upstairs so we could do the basement work. I’m still hoping to get these things moved to storage sometime mid-next week.
No matter how the next week or so plays out, I’m closer than ever.
I hope all is well with you. I think of you so much…you’re always with me. Keep me close. I love you, honey. xo
I saw this yesterday and laughed out loud. It made me think of you and your passion for politics.
Do you remember me singing this song to you last year? I can’t believe we’re another year older. Time is passing so quickly.
I hope this note finds you well. I’m worried about you. You’re breathing was so labored in your video post – just didn’t seem like you…you’re always somewhat fit. I hope you’re okay?
Things here are ongoing. I will be honest…many days I truly wonder how this can still be going on, yet it is. I’m not sure if I told you but I think I did? The realtor I chose suggested that I get at least 50% or more out of the basement. He also said that I had to do a good bit of remedial work before he could legally list this house for sale. We’ve been working on various things for several days now and hope to finish up by Friday. A large support beam had to be removed and re-installed, about half of the old cinderblocks had to be covered with a plastic PVC type wall covering. They come in 4×8 foot sheets and have to be glued to the cinderblocks. It was a JOB! We are also removing the old flooring tiles. I don’t think they are asbestos but don’t want to deal with any drama “if” they are? I got masks for my guys and we are getting it all out and removed. The floors (concrete) will be primed and freshly painted.
I brought many things upstairs to the main floor to accommodate the basement work. Currently, I am working on packing the things I brought upstairs and hope to get that moved out to storage either Saturday or Sunday? We’ll see. If I’m successful this week (with all this – yikes) then the photographer will FINALLY come next Tuesday – a week from tomorrow. He’s scheduled, I’m just hoping I can be ready. After the images are taken, the listing will go live in 24-48 hours.
While I didn’t want to wait to list the house and, frankly, was a bit annoyed with my realtor (whom I like), I think things will have worked out exactly as they should (in the long run). When this house gets listed and if I got an offer in the first 2 weeks, I’d be under massive pressure to get the huge basement packed, moved AND repaired – all in 30 days time. I’ll update as things progress. I want this to be over so much…I’ve been working on it for such long time. My parents farm is calling me.
I’m going to write a long note and share many of my thoughts and concerns – soon. I won’t promise in the next few days but within a week or so. There’s just so much going on here. I’ve got lots of things on my mind (what’s new?) and want to share those with you.
Get some rest and keep me close, okay? You KNOW, right? Yep – right there in your heart. I love you. xo
