I am so glad that you’ve had positive results with your HRT!  I found myself nodding in agreement as I read how you took your time when making the decision about this. 

i hope that all goes well with your husband, and will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.  

I did smile when I read about you being bombarded with emails and videos.  I do have to admit that I still am adjusting to having all of my medical info available online.  At the risk of showing my age, I prefer paper documents in a folder - so I can highlight portions as well as use post-it’s. 😇

Enjoy the day!  I hope it is sunny and warm there!  My weeping cherry tree is in full bloom, so it must be Spring.  💐☀️🌸

It is that time of year again. Down here in the south we have to put of with these things all summer. Last week I think 25 people died in Mo. and KY. from these storms. This week one took the top off a factory where 75 people were working. I don't think any of them needed a band aid. Go figure, when the Lord wants you, you better be ready. 

Thanks so much for the update about the knee surgery!  You must be so relieved!

(Aside - I too was the victim of Identity Theft - like countless millions of other people - an organization did not safeguard my information effectively.  What a nightmare to death with at what was already a very stressful time!) ❤️

 Hope you both have a relaxing weekend! 🏠🌈

I hope everyone had a fun weekend! 🌸

We just had a lovely, cozy three-day wedding experience that I wanted to share.  While I have attended a few of those “ in lieu of a gift, please consider donating to ****”, this wedding had a thoughtful “twist” on that concept. 

in the invite, we were all asked to “give back” in some manner - whether it be of our time, our skills, or our funds.  The choice was ours to make.  We were then requested to let the couple know what had done with the couple prior to the wedding.…

….Then, over the course of the festivities, this lovely pair would periodically share some of the collective “gifts” (One snippet I distinctly remember, “ a local food pantry was cleaned from top to bottom, lonely shelter dogs were walked and cats were cuddled and read to, and a women and children’s shelter has received dozens of pairs of new socks.”

….

It was such a collectively heartwarming experience, and we all focused on the small ways we could make our own tiny piece of the world a bit better.

I came home to some peonies still blooming after the drenching rain, and am sharing those too!

Oh, I am so sorry for the loss of your faithful companion.❤️. 
I too enjoy this cozy place on the porch.

I will share that, on a peg to the right of my back kitchen door, hangs the collar of my childhood dog.  After she passed away when I was in college, my father couldn’t bear to remove it from its place on a hook in the garage.  When my parents downsized, I took the collar and hung it at my back door.  Its bow might be tattered and its colors faded, but my memories of her unconditional love are bright and clear. 🌈

I am currently loved by a 21 year old rescue - an affectionate purring love bug who no longer hears.   When she passes, I intend to adopt another special needs senior companion, or hopefully a pair.  

….take care
