My first ever vlog (Grandma, that's a video blog) but more importantly, my offering to release into the universe today. https://youtu.be/IYZ1fg_xJI0
Stranger Things.
Ted and I recently finished watching the entire series of The Sopranos and tonight completed Red Oaks. Both I highly recommend. After dinner we weren't sure what to watch so we both decided on Stranger Things. Neither of us had a good understanding of what it was, just that we've seen Facebook posts raving about…

I Carry You.
I miss you. Really miss you. Sometimes I’m still confused how life ended up this way. Tonight we have a board meeting at your cemetery. That sounds sad. That is sad. I’m not sure it’s fair that we’re members of a cemetery board, let alone your cemetery. A place where we had no choice but…

I've busied myself this month, ignoring the ever so present yet gentle, reminders that I am sad. Not sad like last year.…
Will you miss him with me?
I was working on my May calendar and after dating the first week I stopped and looked at the top and wondered to myself, "May? Is that right?" I thought for a moment maybe I'd skipped a month until I remembered at the doctor's office this afternoon I indeed dated my signature line, May 3,…
Light in the Dark.
This afternoon I was dining at my favorite lunch spot when I happened to look up. I had never really looked up before, usually just ahead as people walk into the grocery store, or down at the latest book I've chosen to read. It caught me off guard and I caught myself taking pictures of…
The Things We Hold.
Tonight is Ted's monthly board member meeting at our local golf course. We met at home after work, fixed a quick dinner and I was left with an empty house before the sun fell. I pulled out yoga mat and decided tonight was as good of night as any to practice in the middle of my…
