hi all, Still alive and kicking LOL. Been busy helping DIL2, not sure if I posted this but her father passed away 3 weeks ago and it’s been very hard on her. Her 2 sisters haven’t been any help. So she (and Son2) have had to step up and get things done. Her mother doesn’t drive (and both sisters don’t drive either) so my DIL has had to do all the running around. Her boss has been wonderful with letting her take time off to get things done but she feels a guilty taking the time off but what can one do with the businesses she has to deal with only open during the week. She put together a Celebration of her father’s life on his birthday last Thursday. It was really nice, I don’t think her mother knew how many people her husband knew and interacted with on a daily basis. My SIL and I are going to a “Women’s Expo” on Friday. They have a couple of good speakers I want to hear according to the schedule I’ve seen. They are talking small area gardening and small area composting and other more self sufficient subjects. Last time we went all they had was a lot of vendors like Mary Kay, linens etc. SIL and I haven’t gone in quite a few years but my friend says it’s much better now, more learning opportunities rather than people selling stuff. So we’ll see how it goes. Other than keeping close to home to avoid crowds right now not been up to doing much. The weather has been so inconsistent, I’m not sure if its Spring or Winter any more HA HA HA!! Seed catalogues are starting to come in So I’m plotting and planning the garden. Have signed up for an online tutorial so I’ll be watching and learning. Maybe THIS year I’ll get tomatoes to grow LOL. Stay safe and may the Good Lord keep you all.
