Hello Everyone,

 

I hope y'all are all well and safe.

 

Offering my apologies for vanishing, I should have done better.

 

My dear. loved, and admired, friend, mentor, supporter, guide, and Papa

died on July 16.  He was 95, a traveler, teacher, animal lover, animal protector, seeker, guide, writer, WWII vet, good friend, to so many.  His friends contact list was 9 pages long.  He was a long time member of a local poetry group who did a reading in his memory. The outpouring of love for him has been a true gift.

 

At his age, death was not a surprise, one can prepare for the event, but

Nothing can prepare for the steering pain and loss.

 

He left me his home which DH and I have almost finished repairing and renovating.  He also asked that we care for his dog, Ruby.  She stayed 

with us many times when he traveled, and so, seems to be settled in.

 

In addition to his loss, during this time two of our cats, 14 and 17, passed away, as did three very close first cousins, and one cousin-in-law.

 

It has been a sad time, and a long hard winter.  The week Papa died DH 

and I both got COVID, likely from spending so much time in the hospital

with him.  He did Not have it, and was allowed no visitors, all Doctors, and 

we were masked, and gowned, I guess it was just our time.  We've had every vaccination and booster.  Thankfully DH was pretty much OK in two

weeks.  I being immunosuppressed, was down for 7 weeks. I developed 

irregular heart rhythms, and BP drop on standing. But, good news,

the Cardologist who took care of me ran my bi-weekly EKG yesterday,

guess what?  

 

                      Absolutely Normal Synus Rhyrham!  
I am so grateful, especially to my wonderful Spouse who took great care of me, watched over me, drove me to appointments, AND STAYED WITH ME 8 loved me even though 
I've been a sad, pretty helpless, mess. 

I missed you all, and will be peering in once in a while as I work to catch up.

 

Love, Drythe

 

♥️♥️♥️

@Drythe 

 

I'm so sorry to hear of all your recent losses.  It's never easy to say goodbye to loved ones, but to have to do so with that many in such a short time must have been devastating.  I'm sure they all still leave a hole in your life.💔

 

And then for both you and your husband to get sick during all that--I can't imagine!  You needed some time off from everything. 

Thankfully it sounds like your health is finally better.  What a relief that must be for you. ❤️

Good Morning Y'all: Currently 35 and prefer to stay in bed but more cleaning to do. 

Hope y'all have something more fun and exciting planned for today.

I finished my biscotti yesterday and Sam's currently sold out of that brand. I don't have time to make anything so my choices are cereal or cherry pop tarts. ???!!!🤔🤗

Good morning friends, after a week of low energy I am up and cleaning to old Motown. I've only had coffee so far, no appetite yet but it's still early.

 

How is everyone this sunny morning?

@JaneMarple : Good Morning. I cleaned my middle room carpet yesterday  and waited until this morning to vacuum. I am finished with that room. I am starving and going to the kitchen to see if I can find anything else.🤗
