I was just thinking about you and your mom not that long ago. I am so sporadic with being on a hive that I often miss what is happening with folks. I am so sorry about your mom. 💔 I hope you and your

It is super weird/sad going through the stuff that meant enough to a person to keep their whole life. And also sad cause it is a tangible piece of them. So letting go of stuff starts to feel like letting

Grandma, Mom & Dad all took care of me, so I guess it is my time to reciprocate. 🙂 I just hope someone will reciprocate when I am an old lady. Grandma had lots of nice stuff. A bunch of it has fallen

I hope you guys got the lovely weather too! I am over all this rain. It really seems to be lingering this year. I just want endless days of sunshine through October. 😄

Hubby does love it. He has been saving and researching and looking for this kind of car for like 2 years. So I am happy that he (and we) finally found one. Used, low mileage and not beat up so good all

I am mostly doing Ok post grandma. I think it is just hard because the grandma stuff and the mom stuff are so intertwined. Just 2 days after grandma died mom was back in the hospital. And a couple weeks

My aunt is still alive but it has been 13 months since her brain tumor was discovered. She also has gotten to the point that there is no more medicine can do to help her. Since Christmas her condition

Wishful thinking my friend… I only said “roof down”. We did have our pants off if that makes it better?

Ugh… my heart breaks for you thinking about all the family you have lost. So many memories and good times that should have been made and shared to today. My family was all in the military too. Mostly Navy.

Heartbreaking. It is the worst that our furbabies have such relatively short lives. My boys are 12 and 14… just thinking about the short amount of time I have left sends me into tears. And I totally relate

How crazy that in an affluent country folks are still doing laundry in some ancient looking communal washing room. (Not even a coin operated laundry mat.) That is the best part of travel. Seeing how people

Is it the sausage they are hiding? 🤪

Beautiful coin. I always get a little overwhelmed thinking about that time in history. Thinking of grandparents who lived through one (if not two world wars). The intensity of that. The friends lost, the

My grandma had a half brother that died in the 1950’s (single and childless). Mom is an only child and so am I. So it is just me going through things. One of these days I will send my husband to watch

Thank you for the happy time wishes. 🙂 I loved the laundry room in that house. My current laundry room is down in a basement. How much nicer would the washing, folding and ironing be in a room with a

Hubby is obsessed with his car. We used to rent them on our vacations. Now he lives vacation life daily. 😄

The perfume bottles are pretty. Such an old fashioned thing to collect, but grandma has been building her collection for decades. And she cleaned them religiously. Not a spec on dust on them or in her
