Back from Mass, volunteered at the rectory and ready to start the day. Overcast and cool here. Hopefully, the painting can resume if it stays dry here for several days.
Plan to look at vines to plant over the arbor---just spoke with the owner of Dutch's Nursery, he has the vines I want but recommended planting the vines outside/back of box in the ground as the roots will freeze in the winter and die. Love Dutch's Nursery! Have lots of top soil/mulch/compost mix to build up the soil behind the planters and it will work very nice. Yea--have a plan. (Plumbago from Dutch's Nursery courtesy of Vicki on 2007 Mother's Day, it winters at friend's grennhouse every year).
Thinking so much this time of the year when Pop started getting sick. When he got sick we were put into motion and did what needed to be done. Just did the doing part---now am doing the processing/thinking part. I do not dwell on it, do not question it--just think often about the journey. What a courageous and gracious battle he fought and all of you were all there for him (and me). Will tell you kids over and over--YOU DID IT RIGHT!!! What pride I have in being a part of your journey---thanks!
Have some "For Sonny Days" plans in the works. Will have more to share as time moves forward. Let's think about Thanksgiving. Would love to have it here this year. What do you think? For now--stay healthy, be safe, keep in touch, value every moment of the time you're given and treasure the family and friends that surround you. Thanks to all of you for being a part of my life!
Love, Mom
