This is not the life I pictured, but here I am. I can still make something beautiful. Grieve. Breathe. Begin again. – Thema Bryant-Davis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Sue made her 50th High School reunion in 2019 and is pictured with Brad and Susie-Q, our beautiful and musical friends.\u00a0 She enjoyed the event even though I had to talk her into going, you know ow, never bring attention to herself.\u00a0 Well, we pulled off a great coo.\u00a0 We offered the band to play for the event knowing full well they played “dance music,” so Sue and I tripped the light fantastic all evening long.<\/p>\n

I remember she was not doing that well on that specific evening, but no one would have ever known as she put on her brave face and greeted everybody, even a couple of old “boyfriends” from a long time ago.<\/p>\n

Sue was just marvelous, and her memory and recollection of events dating to high school were crystal clear.\u00a0 She told stories and reunited with many.\u00a0 I wished her Mom could have been there to hear about the cigarettes and her mother’s sweater.\u00a0 Ask me sometime. I will tell you.\u00a0 I love you, dear one with all my heart!<\/p>\n

OK, first things first! Cleanup.\u00a0 I went through the front yard and did another scrub down and condensing of the tool\/supply footprint.\u00a0 We are beginning to return to normal.<\/p>\n

Vinegar takes away the old dust and somewhat restores the brick finish.<\/p><\/div>\n

Then I cleaned up after that guy who lives here, but I never see!\u00a0 He just leaves things lying around, and I am continually picking up after him.<\/p>\n

Sue watches everything going on from many vantage points.<\/p><\/div>\n

Then I returned to the kitchen, and I heard the faint sound of someone saying, “Eat me!”.\u00a0 It was the eggs and sausage appearing away.\u00a0 I made them happy and fired up the big skillet using the mighty stovetop. Flames were whipping around the skillet shooting into the air as it turned a bright red indicated it was time for bacon!!<\/p>\n

Sizzle, crackle, frizzle, sputter, hiss, and spit the bacon rendered itself to the heat.\u00a0 Once it was underway, the sausage hit the pan with another audible outburst!\u00a0 After a few minutes, I attempted two eggs, but alas, my uncoordinated hands sent the egg container crashing to the floor.\u00a0 All six eggs broke, some worse than Humpty-Dumpty.\u00a0 I was able to save two eggs, and that became breakfast.<\/p>\n
