Another day-another dollar!

It is a better day--better than yesterday for sure-I suppose this is how it will be, "forever and for always"--good days--with some days that I struggle to get thru------life with  a husband who will be 94 soon--All is well-so far, to-day-!!!

When Himself is struggling with every moment in a day, like yesterday, he doesn't remember it the next day--At least I don't think he remembers  how he acted yesterday--  Poor guy---!!!--

So, a new day--new possibilities--That is really what counts . himself is wearing his Hearing Aids--That helps him immensely!  Odd how he will wear them for the Ladies at the Hearing Clinic-- would not put them on for me for the past 6 months---The main thing however is that this morning, he is sorta himself again--

We have a very cold day outside, with a cold wind--leaves blowing everywhere, and snow showers predicted for to-night-Thursday morning , early , I can get the snow tires on the car---  one more thing , before winter--
Sadie was here (who is really me!)--  did the lower hallway-- mopped the floor and dusted pictures etc-I am trying to ignore the leaves, all over the place, outside, as there is so many more leaves on the trees yet--That inner voice keeps telling me, it will warm up again after all these cold days--easier to rake then!.
A bacon and tomato sandwich for lunch---with soup---Getting meals ready is much easier the day after one grocery shops isn't it??--I don't have to think so much , or be creative! 




It is a good day here to have a great day-- no stress---The guy who I married is  happy---  who  can ever predict what will happen in one's life eh?--  Just look at this young Lad--"Himself"---  who would never intentionally ever hurt a flea--  Isn't life weird?---

  2. In that photo of Fred, I see all your children. Beautiful!

    What would happen if you left the leaves on the ground until next year? Aren't they supposed to be a blace for small flying insects to be safe & warm over winter? Just giving you a 'way out' Lynda. ;) But I did read that somewhere.

    The days when Fred is Himself, are good days, so enjoy them. It's a shame what all can happen to us older folk, when we've been taught that our Golden Years are the best years of our lives - that is Rubbish! :)

    Much love and lots of hugs coming to you, Fred, Sushi, Beau and Lopez xoxo

  5. I just remember thinking about how mortified Mom would have een if she realized some of the horrible things she said and did . . . they were not her . . . it was the disease. Wretched disease!
    So, maybe it’s a blessing Himself doesn’t remember, but . . . that doesn’t make it any easier on you, for sure.

    And glad that Himself is wearing his ears and is mor himself. I can only imagine it feels better to him, too.

    Cold here, too. 2C. We had a dusting of snow overnight, which is gone now, thankfully, but it is very windy. The leaves still on the trees are not destined to stay there for long! And yes, our weather is supposed to warm up a little bit this weekend, so . . . it will be leaf patrol time. Not today, though!

    Sounds like a delicious lunch. Still awaiting the arrival of our new fridge. Ours died on Friday. So, in the meantime, have been living out of coolers.

    OH my, Himself is indeed handsome in that picture. Prayers and hugs and angels surrounding you to enjoy the good days.

    HUGS and blessings

  6. Wonderful photo of a younger Himself!
    Your posters are right on track, too. We need to look ahead through the windshield, not back through the rear view mirror!
    I treated myself to an apple fritter today when I went for bananas. We need to treat ourselves sometimes, too.
    Cold here, also. I especially feel the 'wind chill.' Below freezing tonight. Time to fill the gas tank and add Heet. Sigh. At lease no snow yet.

  7. Great picture of Fred. Easy to see why you became a couple. Like the sayings. Lunch sounds good. Glad today is a better day. Guess it's always going to be up & down. Leave the leaves and relax for a bit.

  11. Fred's hair reminds me of the way George wore his hair when we got married over 53 years ago! Oh man - do I ever miss him! So glad that your day is much better today!

  12. I'm glad you are having a better day today. I have been to the visitation of my SIL's father who passed away last Thursday. A sad time but I was able to talk with my daughter, SIL and 3 grandchildren who I haven't seen in over 2 years. That made my day!

  13. Leave the leaves be, they even advertise on tv, not to rake away or burn leaves. Better for good insects to live over winter, good for the soil. When we lived in the Sierra mountains, we never raked away all the leaves. Gradually, they fertilized the whole area. By Spring, no leaves even around. Glad you had a better day.
