Tuesday, April 29, 2025 Today would have been my gramma Hazel’s 127th birthday. Donna went to Home Depot to get paint and thought to celebrate gramma’s birthday with pansies. She is so thoughtful. They look great on the deck. I spent the morning in bed with AFib. I haven’t done that in about six years. […]
Monday, April 28, 2025 We had our final walkthrough this morning. Donna gave me lucky ducks and lucky rocks.
