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.

Party Time…Almost Here!
Carolyn, Jo, and I fot the tables ready for the party...well, as much as we could without Nathan's help. His help will add the finishing touches to the tables in the morning! I'm home now working on pulling out the serving pieces we need for some of the food tomorrow. Right now I am sitting...haven't done a lot of sitting this afternoon. I'm turning the heating pad on and going to sit for a few! We were so surprised to find the tablecloths already on the tables...a HUGE thankyou to our church's custodial staff! What a help that was! I don't know how many parties that I have helped give at our church and this is the first time that anyone but those giving the party have placed the cloths on the tables for us! We were able to get right to work on the decorations/center pieces. The blog will be short tonight so I can at least think through what is left to do and/or gather. I have found that a laundry basket is a great help in transporting items to and from the church. I took the table decoration parts in mind this afternoon...now will empty what is left in it...which isn't much and reload it with serving items, etc. that are needed in the morning to finish setting up. I have accomplished quite a bit. I ran errands this morning, which included a quick stop at the grocery store, a stop to get gas, and a stop at the Credit Union. I have also done two loads of wash...the second one is going around in the dryer as they didn't get dry before I left to decorate...so they are about finished. I doubt that they get any farther than get taken out of the dryer and put out smooth to be taken upstairs sometime after the party...at least they are clean!!!!! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! Perhaps a picture or two of the party tomorrow night...if I manage to get my camera out tomorrow. I had it with me and was going to snap a picture or two of what we accomplished today, but ended up only with a couple of pictures taken with my phone. Tonight's photo is just a part of one of those pictures...just to give you a hint!
