The day started with us waiting for Hector to arrive. His son was with him (the younger one -- can't remember his name, but he's a great kid!) and we all went out back to decide what things were going to be hauled off, and what we'd keep. There's a lot of stuff to go, including most of our lawn furniture. We're only keeping a very few items ( Read more... )

Before I go into my main topic, sister Sue offered to take me for Starbucks this morning. Later (around noon) she offered to take me to get Mexican food. I didn't end up going, but I thought it was sweet of her to offer. (She was using her tablet today with her friend Tammy, I'm happy to mention.) Anyway ( Read more... )

I know, I know. Larry Hagman died in November 2012 -- and J.R. died in March 2013. I suppose it's time to let go. (grin) By the nice thing about TV shows is that THEY live forever -- so I never really have to say goodbye J.R. Ewing. He's here whenever I want to see him ( Read more... )

Wow, it's hard to believe -- but our Mom and Dad were married 71 years ago today!!!

(Dad passed back in 1998, and Mom in 2000. I can't believe it's been 13 years since Mom died...)

I hope the folks are sharing something fun together in heaven today. Maybe watching a Sean Connery or John Wayne movie. (grin)
