A nice morning temperature wise. It is 71 with a cool touch in the air. Of course the full strength of the sun is not out when it may reach 95. But I certainly am enjoying this morning air. The garden has been watered and laundry washing. Good start. Yesterday did the errands; gas, Staples for printer ink but forgot the one black that I needed!, then a quick stop at JoAnn's for foam for the footstool which I changed my mind about but...
look what followed me home. I just love Tilda's books. I must have this little darling and so she is on the to do this week list. Oh, that is right, The Brother Alan will be here on Tuesday. It is fine, I will have some time as I do believe we are not going to be running all over the place....well, maybe she will have to wait a little. No rush. I cannot believe Alan will call her scary as he feels about Tilly! I just love how Tone Finnager designs her dolls. She refers to those protrusions on the side of the heads as "tuffs". They are optional but I do think they are cute. Oh... and the monkey is adorable!
My friends, I would like to clarify a few things....the little things that throw me for a loop. The little things like getting gas. It is not that I can not it is just a reminder that Denny is not here to do it. It is not that I can not water the garden, it is that this was his hobby. It is not that I can not drive but did not have to. None of this is really complicated, but I know that I over think things-- but this new normal for me is not what I want but will and do make the adjustments. A couple of the kitchen knives need sharpening...I do not know how to correctly use the sharpening tool that Denny di with precision , so I will get them sharpened by someone who knows how to do it. There is always a solution I just have to take a step back and not panic. I am a very strong lady and I can and will make all the adjustments that I must...just a little at a time. My head knows what is necessary but my heart is still quite broken and does not want to do the little things.
Thank you for being here for me. Thank you for caring enough to offer hugs and kind words that are felt from everywhere. Thank you for being my friend when I need you the most.

What a cute little doll, I love her little head scarf.
I think you are doing so well with all the extra chores, it is the little things that Mr. H always did that surprise you because they are not happening now.
I used to work with a man who went out early on cold mornings to turn the heater on in his wife's car so she didn't have to drive a cold car. How sweet is that?
Okay, there is NO way Alan can think Tilda is scary!! Too cute!
BIG HUG for you Gracie!
Maybe you should learn how to sharpen the knife........ I don't know how to do it but I do know Mr Chooky only sharpens his own knives unless at friends with blunt knives and boy Wonder sharpens his own knives.... Apparently everyone will be a slight different angle and can blunt a knife before you get it sharp...maybe that is if a steel is used instead of a knife sharpen block....... I do love sharp knives and ours always are very sharp......
Goodluck........ Oh and 2 sleeps til the brother arrives.......
Hello Gracie, I feel you on the changes you have to make. I hope each time you go to have to do something he used to that it hurts a little less for you. You are doing great with what you been given. Hang in there girl. You got this. Countdown until the brother Alan arrives. Happy times a coming. Enjoy your day.
Dearest Grace, may time and days heal your pain and loneliness. Know there are many out here who send their love and hugs and prayers. Sending all three to you now,
With love

That's a really cute doll, I can understand you like it :)
I totally understand how all those small things can throw you off still. You will get there in time, and until then you have friends to help you and all of us to rant to as well!
