No More Dementia at Fifty!
April 18, 2025, my heart woke me up this morning aching for you. Today marks three months since the last time I kissed your face, looked into your beautiful hazel green eyes or held your hand. Everyone tells me grief does its own thing, there is not a timetable on how long the “freshness” of Continue reading

Happy Birthday to ME ~ November 8, 2024
I watched Larry for a few minutes as he fumbled with his water bottle, he kept turning the top as if he was unscrewing the lid, but the lid wasn’t on. I told him the lid was not on, and he could take a drink repeatedly until he finally just turned it upside down to Continue reading

The Strongest Man You Know is a First-Born Daughter ~ October 22, 2024
I read that earlier today and thought to myself, what does that mean? People can construe things so easily these days, then I thought about my situation and realized stepping up and doing what needs to be done from cutting the grass to taking the trash out, calling the plumber, shopping at Home Depot or Continue reading

Hands Up! August 15, 2024
Narcissistic Personality: qualities include thinking very highly of oneself, needing admiration, believing others are inferior, and lacking empathy for others.

We’ve been cruising along adjusting to whatever has been thrown at us since the end of February. I’ve installed Ring cameras inside the house to check in or he can press a button and call me anytime I need to be in my office for work. However, one morning I checked in and seen him Continue reading

Did You Stick Something in Your Butt? 2/2/2024 (BETTER LATE THAN NEVER)
You shouldn’t stick things up your butt, especially your toothbrush! This was what the doctor asked the patient in the room next to Larry’s at the Emergency Department Wednesday. I know, those who know him probably wouldn’t be surprised but thank goodness it wasn’t directed at him. I had a good laugh though. So, before Continue reading

Whoa….I’m freaking exhausted! 10/18/23
I’ve said it before, I was 18 and Larry was 38 when we fell in love…age was just a number back then, not so much now, but trust me when I say this could happen to any marriage, and it takes a toll! If I hear “you knew what you were getting in to when Continue reading

Hi from Grand Rapids! 6/26/2023
Tragically we arrived in Michigan June 15th to attend my kind, funny, Jesus loving sister in laws funeral. She passed away June 8th on an Alaskan cruise doing what she absolutely loved. I’ll miss you Carol! We were supposed to board a plane and head for home June 24th, but guess what? Plans changed! Larry Continue reading
