I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th 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.

The World Has a New Seven-Year-Old!
What a big day for our Joy! She and all her family had a great time celebrating her birthday. Waffles and ice cream for lunch! Yum! Yum! And, then, add presents in...what could make up a better day?!
Woody got up and went for a five mile walk in the rain. He came back pretty wet even though he did have an umbrella. I slept in a little later today, but hit the floor running when I got up. I headed straight into the sewing room and sat down in front of the laptop and started getting overdue letters ready. I emailed as many as I could and have already gotten a lot of replies. I still have to print off the ones that I will have to mail. But it took all morning till party time and then I came back home after the party and finished them up. Graham came over about the time that I was finishing and we mended a hole in a pocket on his shirt and then just messed around in the sewing room for a while. Then we went downstairs and I got busy with supper and a pot of chicken noodle soup while he played a "game" on my iPad. Woody headed out right after the party to run some errands. Then he came home for a while and then headed off to do our weekly shopping. I had the pot of soup ready and waiting for the ingredients that we lacked that he bought at the store. We ate our supper and then I got busy finishing up the soup. The timer just rang a few minutes ago and the soup is finished...ready to be eaten this weekend! I don't plan to cook tomorrow. Woody has settled in for the evening with a library DVD and probably a book. I plan to go collapse in the upstairs recliner. Celebrating birthdays is hard work...and I'm tired! Got to get rested up for the next celebration in five days!
And, I will end by wishing Joy a great BIG Happy Birthday! She got a really neat pink plaid bike...very unique...just like she is!
