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.

A Full Friday
Woody headed off to the chiropractor fairly early. Then not too far behind him, I headed next door to Nathan and Kathy's. Kathy had an OB appointment and Nathan needed to take Graham to his orthodontist appointment. So I went over to keep an eye of the other five children. The oldest two got busy on their school work. I helped them when needed and kept my eye on the other three. Then when Nathan got home I stayed a bit longer and continued to help with their lessons till Kathy got home. Isaac kept taking my hand and saying "mon" which means "come on." He would then lead me to their front door. He wanted to go over to our house. So when I went home he and Esther escorted me home and they read with Goosey and played for a while. Woody went to the grocery store after his appointment. So when I got home from next door, I had groceries to put away. While putting them away, I took note of a couple of things that we still needed at the store so I headed off, got the items needed and then came home. I then got started on making our soup for tonight--Stuffed Spud Soup. It is an easy fix...except that now I make homemade cream of chicken soup rather than using canned (trying to cut back on salt). In order to make the cream of chicken soup I had to first stew the chicken. Then I had to bone the chicken before I could get started on the actual soup making. It ended up being a long process...or so it seemed to my back! And, since I had stewed the chicken I wanted to take advantage and make chicken broth. One thing just lead to another. And, then came the clean up...which is just about done. I still have a couple of things to put away. Sometime in the soup making process, Woody headed off for another doctor appointment. So it has been quite a day of appointments for both Woody and Kathy and Graham. I have one more thing that needs to be done today...at worked on some and that is the Sunday School lesson for Sunday. At least I can do that on my iPad while sitting in my recliner so will be able to rest my back doing my next task! Lots of thens and thens and...for my day!
