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.

Very Much a Spring Day
The temperature warmed up nicely today...got into the low 80s. I wonder how long this warm spell will last! It was rather breezy. After I got home from prayer meeting this evening, I walked around my yard and snapped a few pictures of the flowers that are blooming now. Today was the first time for me to spot that some of my iris, aka flags, had unfurled. Today was more of doing a little of this and a little of that. I did some cleaning upstairs...actually ran the vacuum for a little while. I have clothes ready for the wash...but I only got as far as sorting them...now to get them down to the washer! Maybe tonight...maybe tomorrow! I talked to Melany just before I went to prayer meeting. She got the call today from the momument company that the stone is ready to be placed at Woody's grave site. If it doesn't rain tonight, they plan to place it tomorrow. Hope the names and dates are correct! My father was always disappointed when he visited his parents grave site, as their/his last name was spelled incorrectly. He was away in the service when the marker was made and didn't know it till after it had been placed. He always wished that he had had it corrected, but to this day Gilmore is spelled incorrectly as Gillmore. I guess now we will see if Woody's is correct. It has taken ten months to get the stone, but from what I understand that is not an overly long time from when it was ordered. Melany and Wade already had a trip planned to the farm where the Proctor cemetary is located this Saturday, so they will be able to check it out and get a picture of it. They have asked if I want to go with them, but at the moment, I'm thinking that I don't want/need to go this time. I'm just happy to hear that it is going to be placed. I've never been a big cemetary visitor...not sure about this time...but maybe it is that I don't want to see my name on the stone!!!! I just don't need the long trip on Saturday when I have to be up and out fairly early on Sunday and be ready to teach the Sunday School lesson. I guess I have hashed this out here! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
