Tonight's picture is the reflection of the steeple of the church where I went when I was a child... where we will have Mother's memorial service on Monday (will Monday ever come?). This has been the longest week! Melany arrived around 1pm today. Cheryl and I turned the job of making the memory board over to Melany and Rachel...so they went through the pictures and have them arranged. Now to get them adhered to the board! Cheryl and I went to view Mother. Then Cheryl and I went shopping! (Guess I should explain that we went shopping for shoes for the funeral to make it not sound quite so flippant!!!) We both found shoes. I was successful in getting Mother's obituary submitted as it was in the paper today. The minister for Mother's service stopped by to have us proof the bulletin for the service. There was a lot less to do today so maybe things are winding down. Woody said that his new medication really made him sleep soundly...for about three hours and then he woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so he went on one of his loooooong walks...to the movie theater and back. He ran several errands and went to the library. He took lunch over to the neighbors again today (he had enough of everything from yesterday's lunch (except for strawberries and Elijah REALLY loved those yesterday...so none left...so he went to the store to get some more...he said that Elijah didn't eat quite as many today!) He worked in the yard. He said that it was a really pretty day in TN today. (Another hot one here in AZ...but not as hot as yesterday...but still DRY HEAT! Winds are supposed to blow in some slightly cooler temps here...only supposed to be in the 80's by Monday.) I started this blog in 2009 to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 16 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. 6/16/24 Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

You and your sister are in my prayers. It is a sad process you are going through. So many details it seems. Earlene
