All Alone

The top shelf of hubby’s closet looked ready to fail. He removed everything on the shelf and hanging below it yesterday. The bed and all horizontal space was filled. He was going to repair it last night but we were out too late. He is working on it now. We slept on our comfy recliners and I felt great when I awoke at 6:00. Hubby took the camper for its annual maintenance and then dropped it off in my mother’s driveway. While he was there, I found out that her neighbor/cousin passed away Monday. Momma told me yesterday that Sandy’s husband Paul came over and was quite upset but apparently she didn’t understand what he told her. Hubby showed her the obit and offered that we’d take her to the funeral. Sandy was 78. She made a coconut cake that was always her donation at family reunions. Folks always snagged a slice before getting their meal. Yesterday, we learned that a good friend and fellow Knight, Joe, also passed. Both of these folks had children in Jamie’s graduating class. And right before I started typing my journal, I found out another friend passed. Mary Ann was part of my Eucharistic Minister group that I oversaw at church for years. That’s three so hopefully it will be all. After breakfast, I went outside to enjoy another fabulous Autumn day. I cleaned the garden in front of our garage and pruned the bushes. Gosh, what an improvement. It wore me out so I am resting. We have this lone bloom on an azalea bush out front. I was happy to find it after getting rid of spent bee balm plants. Renee sent burgers so I did not have to cook. I feel a nap in my immediate future. Wishing you a refreshing siesta. Stay safe. Pray for the folks in Florida. Milton is due to make landfall tonight. Thanks for dropping by. I really appreciate your hearts, stars and sweet comments. “Be able to be alone. Lose not the advantage of solitude, and the society of thyself.” - Thomas Browne
