I’m looking forward to reading some of the many books I find collecting dust on my shelf. A glass of ice tea, a good book, and my kitty at my side…what could be better?

My plan is to spend quality time with my husband. Maybe I'll even clean out all my junk drawers!

Super goals! 
I plan to spend time with my husband, diagnosed with Parkinson’s dimentia. Hopefully I will also be able to sort, organize, have a yard sale and finish painting some of the doors around the house. 😊

I wish I could do that. My husband doesn’t like to travel anymore. So my kids and I FaceTime when possible. 
He has Parkinson’s dementia. 
Hopefully, we will be able to make a short trip in the autumn.

Well as I am getting older I am getting all the things done in my home  one thing at a time. My daughter is getting  married in Nov and my home will be going to her so there fore the more I can get done since I can while I am alive and financially can do it she will be able to just move in as she is newly married and not have to worry.  Since things are so expensive my husband is in construction so that's the way to go he has his crew come in with him get it done and it looks good for once we are gone I don't want to see her taken advantage of and the work is done and done right.  I never had this help and she is my only one.  and in  todays world anything to help the kids is a plus

My summer goal is to relax, visit family, enjoy my backyard and begin the decluttering process before heading back to work.
