Good Morning...............hope all had an enjoyable Memorial Holiday. Mine as very quiet and "at home". Had carpets cleaned last Wednesday and all the moving out and then moving back of furniture, tchatzki (sp) and just clutter wore me out.. I paid dearly, was exhausted. Spent the holiday quietly and napping, etc.
On Cousins..................My sister and I only had 5 - 2 boys where we lived (both dead now) and 3 in South Carolina we never saw/met - finally met youngest at one of the other 2 boys funerals....was kind of bizarre.
There is/was a 6th, an out of wedlock boy who was named Douglas and put up for adoption when I was about 9 yrs. old.
I have often wondered where he ended up and where he is and if he is still alive - he would be about 74 if still living.I often envied large families that had big reunions and vacations together and memories to share over a lifetime.
CRUISE SCHEDULED - sister and I have an 11-day eastern Carribean cruise schedule end of October to Nov. 7 - two ports we have been to before, but several smaller island that are quieter and less travelled. I don't care where it is going, I just want to get out of Alachua County and get onboard a ship and just drop-out for 11 days. Only problem is the 2 cats, I can get neither in a carrier (they just go stiff) and the cost of boarding has become prohibitive.
Happy Birthday Carol (bookdelle) and anyone I have recently missed.
Time marches on..... I have the 9 grandkids (eldest will be 40 in August) and 6 "greatgrands, (eldest 15, youngest 2 are 2 - (5 girls and 1 boy) Hard to believe at times. The youngest 2 I have only seen in videos or pictures, they were born during pandemic and live in different places. Maybe someday.............
3 weeks ago, I went out of Alachua county for the 1st time in 3 yrs........ went to visit my "ex-husband" in ST. Augustine who is very seriously ill with liver, pancreas, intestinal cancers and Transverse Myelitis..... he is a ghost of his former self, and it was extremely sad to see him in that condition. I count my blessing that so far I am pretty healthy for almost 84.
well, enough..................better get something "accomplished" before I have PT at 3...............still walking every day it's not raining, but dreading the summer heat.
