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.

A Funny Find & Got Paid!
I got the other half of the draweer cleaned out today. Tonight's photo shows the thing that made me laugh...why a Double Bubble wrapper in the drawer?!? And, I did get paid a penny from this side of the drawer. I did find other coins on the other half...but not much...just a couple more pennies and a few Canadian coins and some tokens for a car wash. I was sorting through things when Nathan and Kathy dropped by to bring me some zucchinis. I got them in on the decision making of what to throw and what to keep. Nathan did go off with a small load of nuts and bolts and a hinge and some lightswitch covers. I did send home a card game called Risk so the kids could try it out. I got online and printed out how to play the game and sent those along with the cards. Going back to zucchini...they are part of my Joy update today. Nathan came in the house with his arms loaded with a LOT of zucchini...he estimated about 50 lbs. Joy saw him with all the zucchini and he said he guessed he should have picked them sooner. Joy sort of laughed and said, "Yes!" The fact she said "yes" is an improvement...since her accident she mainly nods her answers. The other positive Joy story is that Esther had asked her mom what she could do to help Joy and Kathy said that Esther could take Joys clothes from the dryer and put them away. Esther knew that under normal conditions that Joy would not like her to do that...that Joy always wants to put her own clothes away. Well, Esther had something else to do before she got to doing that and Kathy was doing something else. When they came back, they found that the laundry was gone. Joy was still sitting on the couch so Kathy went to check and found that Joys clothes were put away and that the empty laundry basket was back in Esther and Joy's closet...where it belongs. Joy had done it and gone back to sit on the couch! So major progress, in our eyes! Praising God for each small sign of her return to being our Joy! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
