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.

Best Laid Plans…
Well, I had good intentions. I had ham-stuffed potatoes on the menu for Melany and Erin's visit. These are a long-time-family favorite. They are sort of a glorified twice-baked potato. I decided that I would get everything prepared that gets added to the potato after it is baked. I diced, sliced, shredded, and roasted items for the recipe so they would be all ready to add to the scooped out potato and then returned to the skin to bake further tomorrow just before lunch. After I got all that done and had them in the refrigerator awaiting to be used tomorrow, I then checked to see what I needed to make a tossed green salad. I got those items on the list and headed off to the store after lunch. I first went to the Credit Union to deposit a check. Then it was on to Kroger. I got my cart and was adding fresh produce to my cart, when I pulled out my phone to check the list. In opening up the phone, I saw that Melany had sent me a message. Well, the news was not good...Erin is sick and Melany wasn't feeling all that well...so, in other words, they won't be coming tomorrow. I went on and did a little shopping for things that I might need over the next week. I'm glad that I stayed and shopped a little as I saw my good friend and one of "the barn crew." So we got to visit a little...nice addition to my grocery shopping! I came home and put away the few things that I bought. I talked to my sister for a few minutes...she is in the process of getting ready for her family Easter gathering at her house on Sunday. Then I decided that I had better package up the ingredients that I prepared this morning so they can go into the freezer--for when Melany, Erin, and maybe Wade might come again...or I will just make ham-stuffed potatoes for me when I am so inclined! I think that I may make some potato soup for me tomorrow. I haven't had time to work on the Sunday School lesson today. I doubt that I do this evening, as it is almost time for the season finale for Matlock...so I plan to watch that and maybe stitch. Sometimes Matlock takes more concentration than I can give it if I stitch while watching. I imagine they have something surprising in store for us this evening since it is the season finale...guessing they will leave us with a cliffhanger! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
