“One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness.” – <\/strong><\/em>Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

One thing about Sue, she was ALWAYS a lady.\u00a0 She never a bad word nor spoke an unkind thought, always had good things to say, and she always dressed for the occasion,\u00a0 I loved being with her, and I know she would make me look good!\u00a0 Her memory was like that’s of a computer; she could recall how many biscuits we had for breakfast twenty years ago.\u00a0 More importantly, the world did NOT revolve around her.<\/p>\n

I remember her writing to a family member quite often when that person went to Detroit.\u00a0 She would send a letter once a week, usually with some kind of goody in it, to Pete when he was deployed.\u00a0 I remember her sending five gallons of popcorn to Korea when Pete was stationed there.\u00a0 She loved to cook with Mitch, and these two would laugh and giggle all afternoon.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be her birthday.\u00a0 I called Jan Mongell, who lost Jim several years ago, and she reminded me that Jim would have been ninety-six and Sue sixty-nine this week.<\/p>\n

When I see her pictures, I must admit I get teary-eyed, but I can remember each image as if it had been taken yesterday.\u00a0 I love you, my dear Sue!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Her smile even cheered up the flowers.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I place a Bat Phone call to Colleen, and she was dragging as their visitors had just left a few hours earlier, and she was pooped!\u00a0 I decided not to call her until tomorrow morning as I bet she will sleep tonight.<\/p>\n

Oh, those pesky hunger pains!\u00a0 I viciously attacked the refrigerator, and I came up with bacon, sausage, and eggs.\u00a0 A good meal, high in protein and low in calories! Tomorrow I plan a big rib-eye for breakfast as it is ready to be cooked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My frying pan does a super job!<\/p><\/div>\n

Me and the Silver Ghost headed to Lowe’s early as I wanted a new register for the heater\/air.\u00a0 The original one had several coats of paint on it.\u00a0 Now I have a new one!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I plan to replace several of the heater\/air ducts in the attic, so I priced then today!<\/p><\/div>\n

The bathroom scale went back to lying, so I am angry at it.\u00a0 To get back under 190 pounds, I walked for an hour this morning and then worked around the house, putting on more than 10,000 steps!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Perfect Christmas colors.<\/p><\/div>\n

A little further down the lane on my walk, the pink glare caught my eye.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The roses we displaying their charms for all to see.<\/p><\/div>\n

Does our “hood” have fruit trees?\u00a0 Yes, indeed, we do!\u00a0 I found several peach and nectarine trees on today’s journey around the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I controlled my temptation and did not pick one, but they were sure tempting.<\/p><\/div>\n

Today’s walk took a different route.\u00a0 I just missed with no specific path fixed in my tiny brain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

New route; new sights make for a refreshing walk!.<\/p><\/div>\n

I headed into the garden after arriving home.\u00a0 The corn is coming along, so I spent a good hour watering the entire garden making sure the corn got all it needed.\u00a0 Corn grows about five inches every night right about now, so keeping it hydrated is essential.<\/p>\n

One more trip to Lowe’s as we needed some paint primer, a wax ring to set the toilet, and a smaller grab-bar than the thirty-six inch one I had in the garage.\u00a0 It was a quick trip!!<\/p>\n

All the grouting is completed, and in the morning, I will paint the primer on so we can set the toilet, the vanity, and the countertop tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I was wanted to get out, so I quickly showered and headed to Patty’s Place for a drink, and I broke down and had two sliders.\u00a0 My 1908 Gin was not available, so Chuck whipped me up a martini!\u00a0 It was delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I sat alone in the patio (except for the three ladies having dinner)<\/p><\/div>\n

It was a nice dinner, and Chuck, the angel on my shoulder, limited me to two drinks.\u00a0 After the second one, he brought a glass of water and a glass of diet coke with the comment, “Your choice, big guy!”\u00a0 I thought that it was very kind of him to take care of the old man!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Smile, show them your tooth!<\/p><\/div>\n

As you may be able to see, the inside bar was wrapped in white.\u00a0 My usual seat was NOT available.\u00a0 When I left home, it was 80 degrees out, and even by 10:00 PM, it was still in the seventies, a pleasant evening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

N inside dining tonight, it was either the patio or the parking lot!<\/p><\/div>\n

After arriving home, I fell into bed and off to sleep.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow may be tough as it will be Sue’s sixty-ninth birthday, and I will not be going to Disneyland, the Sawdust Festival, or Catalina as we have done for thirty years.\u00a0 Robin is planning something to keep me occupied, but I will be reliving all those times, no matter what we do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Tomorrow is a special day for me to remember all the fantastic times we had together!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
