It is home time for me again, thank goodness. Now it is off to the shops to decide what for dinner, get some steps in and lurk in here a little later.
This breaks my heart.It's been a really hard day for me. Today (the 21st), is our 30th wedding anniversary. Or would have been.
It's been 14 months since Pete died, and I still want to tell him things, little snippets I read, or hear. The house is too quiet. I hear the ice drop into the bin, and the water refill. I hear the AC compressor kick on outside. I hear the ticking of my clock. I hear the little sounds a house makes when it's built on an earthquake fault.
I couldn't hear these tiny sounds when Pete was here. I hated that the TV was on 24/7, and I had to work conversation into 5 minute episodes while a commercial was on. Now, what I wouldn't give to fight the TV for one more day.
I miss him terribly. What a sad day this has been.
But I can stop by the CDR and see what the roomies are doing. I laugh a lot, cry a little, and keep checking myself to see if I'm as crazy as most of them are. I have a way to go for that. And I'll never get to the level of debauchery that has been achieved by a few.
It's OK. I slip in, bribe an armadillo, read til my eyes bleed, add my two cents occasionally, and quietly slip out.
That's how I get through sad days, like today.
No problem.Oh darn I was hoping I could get by with that! I’ll have to go and look at some pictures.
Oh ok thanks, I think I must of missed thoseMark's mission has been terminated. He posted some bad, blurry, poorly framed photos. In actuality, he is an excellent photographer.
Latin name for the plant heather?Well that’s easy...Eather-hay! Oh wait.... that’s pig Latin.... let me see ?
How about Calluna? Ima flower, or a weed... depending on the day ?
Indeed.Just Hugs Karen..big warm hugs. You are special.
Oh yay!No problem.

You get points.
I certainly did, I felt like one of them stressed mothers who loose their child in the shop, telling him off for just wandering awayYayyyy, the little bugger, scaring you like that. I hope you gave him a good talking to about being responsible and letting you know where he is going the next time.
Well he does it very wellH
is mission has already been terminated. And the weather thing is just Marks thing. He likes to keep us informed on what the weather will be doing.
Double points.Oh my...how about dinosaurs? Or the modern version...tortoises!

You're coolWow I have been up since 3am, really bad heart burn, shouldn't of eaten that lasagne which was full of that stuff Adam dreams about, and then to eat 4 crunchies that was just plain stupid. Still I have managed to catch up in here so I will count that as a blessing. Really enjoy reading all these posts. It is now 6am and time to get up and prepare for the day ahead. Happy things are looking good for Heather's daughter. Hope the gas and pain has subsided from ?( Dam I forget names so easily). Hope the lady who fell and broke her knee cap is behaving and looking forward to her sisters arrival. Sorry I can't go back and look for names, it takes me too long. Best wishes everyone.
Happy birthday Adam
