I FOCUSED ON MY SPRING CLEAN-UP TODAY

An okay day folks.  I spent most of it in the backyard focused on my big Spring clean-up.  It was a very busy fire pit I had going.  A lot of old memories went up in smoke and into the garbage bins today.  More to go tomorrow.......

HOME ALONE

To my best recollection, I think for the first time since  1989, I am home alone.  Just me, no furry critters anywhere, and no partner.  It's a quiet house, with my soft music in the background.  Lorraine has slipped back to Stratford for a few days and that is okay.  I need a few days alone to work my way through things in my own way.  Not much to say tonight except, I'm doing okay.........

AND AGAIN, A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE

It was a productively okay day for Lorraine and I.  We took all the old curtains down in the living room.  I busied myself cleaning the living room windows while Woodsy busied herself on the end of her Dyson vacuum cleaner.  As soon as the sun broke through the clouds in the afternoon and skies began to clear, we were out the door and into the metal shed out back deciding what needed to be taken to the fire pit, what had to be place into the recycling bins, and what stuff needed to be put into the garbage bins.  Oh, and what stuff needed to go to St Vincent de Paul in Goderich.  We made progress and put a sizeable dent into the overall clean-up.  Keeping our minds busy was of overall importance this past week, following Pheebs' passing.  And again, a big thank you to everyone.  There has been a lot of caring expressed, and both Lorraine and I so much appreciate all the kind words.  I will have more to say about Monday and the following days in a future post.

I HOPE TO BE BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS IN THE COMING DAYS

Thank you each and every one for your kind comments, words, and caring thoughts regarding Pheebs' passing.  Your comforting words truly come from the heart.  It has been a few difficult days, both mentally and physically, and especially physically.  More about that in another post.  When we had Max and Checkers put to sleep 14 years go, I poured all my grief into my blog for days, and I am determined not to do that this time.   I feel it's unfair to readers.  Coincidentally, it was the exact same day, April 28th, all those years ago, that we had to have Max put to sleep.  I hope to be back in the swing of things in the coming days.  Not to worry, I will come out of this stronger than ever.

I'M DOING OKAY

Just a short note to let readers know I'm doing okay.  I just need a few days to get myself back together.  Lorraine is still here and has been a big help.
