Continuing to keep you in my prayers, Auntie! (((hugs))) my beautiful friend <3
Merry Pines Day
Speaking of which - the crematorium handling my husband's remains is called The Whispering Pines - picked that one over the other one on purpose because it's so close to Shispering Pines where we gather weekly to see what shenanigans that three-humped camel is up to and enjoy some merry fantasy time.
Stay jolly!
Perfect!
Agreed with the others; I can't think of anything more perfect that that!Merry Pines Day

Good morning and Happy Pines Day! I'm off today and tomorrow - not much planned, except some housework. I have to go in for some testing today - I have had some issues with my thyroid in the past - have been on medicine on and off for the last few years. I’ve still be having issue with it, so they’re going to do an ultrasound today, to see if my thyroid it still the root cause. I’m hoping now that I’ve changed shifts, getting back to a normal sleep schedule, and adjusting my life back to normal health wise, my thyroid is just trying to adjust as well. We shall see!
Hope you’re all having a great mid-week day so far! Talk to you all later tonight!

Good evening, all! Just sitting back to finally relax. Took down my Easter decorations and put up my Americana decorations - I know it's a few weeks from Memorial Day, but I figured since that's the next holiday, I might as well just put them up, especially since I work this weekend and several of the days leading up to May. I'll just leave them up all summer then, until I decorate for fall. I've really accumulated a lot over the years, but love them and think it really adds to the home. Currently watching the Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Capitals hockey game - it's game 7, so whoever wins, advances to the next round.
Hope you're all having a great evening!

Good Late April Weather MMC! We have a nice day again here set up. Looks like that will end tomorrow though with some rain. It has not been a bad spring overall so far. It's been certainly better than last spring. We've had more decent/nice days this year than last. Hope you all enjoy your Friday Eve!
That was a great game!!!
Merry Thursday MMC ~
It’s going to be a pretty nice day, partly sunny with a high of 60. We have a chance of a shower later this afternoon. I don’t have too much going on today. I think I’ll take a ride to HomeGoods, haven’t been there in awhile. There’s a Barnes & Noble in the same shopping center so I’ll stop in there as well. Other than that I will be working on my daily chores. I’m going to fry chicken cutlets for dinner. I’m also going to make a tray of baked macaroni & cheese and roasted Brussels sprouts. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Brought my husband's remains home yesterday. I know some people believe you should have one final resting spot, but my husband wanted his ashes scattered in 4 different places. All of them except one are on crown land so it's no problem to honour his wishes. The other spot belongs to a relative in a rural community 40 minutes away where he spent many summers as a boy learning about life. I will have to contact them for permission to make that happen.
I'm not doing any of it until what would have been our anniversary in October, but perhaps I'll consider it sooner if I do it over Christmas in July because he supported me in my exchanges and gift-giving over the years and even set me up with the postal box which I have to visit today or tomorrow to change ownership since they hassled me a few times last Christmas season about picking up cards that weren't addressed to the owner.
I brought his remains home yesterday and wound up with three urns; one I am keeping, the other to hold the ashes to be scattered and the third I will offer to his ex-wife. We have become rather friendly over the years and even slept under the same roof on two different Christmases so the grandchildren could have an extra merry time.
O'Malley isn't meowing as much perhaps the smell from a few pieces of clothing is helping him.
When I was in the closet preparing a bag of nice clothes for the youth at the Crisis Centre, O'Malley kept calling, "Maaw". I placed the bag by the hallway entrance and O'Malley sniffed the bag and blocked the door. I kept two of my favourite tops that he wore that still smell like him.
Had my visit with my dad and told him about the call I had received that the two urns were too small to hold the remains so I had to find a larger one. The woman who was handling the paperwork and assisting the funeral director in gathering things held up a cake sized box and said, "This big at least". I guess the strength I was displaying made them think I was cold-hearted; that totally freaked me out because he was inside that box. Anger began to grow, but I didn't let it take hold. I thought to myself, "forgive her, she does not know what she did."
When I went to my dad's, I showed him the indigenous wooden box with strength symbols painted all over it that I picked out and told him how insensitive she was.
We had a good talk and a big hug; he heads out today for his trip.
When I returned home from the Crisis Centre drop off, there was a brief message on my answering machine, "Gary's remains are ready for pick up."
When I got into the car with his remains, I was a bit overcome with emotions and then Sirius 70's on 7 came to my rescue with BABE by Styx. As sad as that may sound, it gave me comfort to sing it.
I brought the urns home, set them up in three different places and O'Malley stopped whining. There's no way he could know what's in them.
I will be okay, but it was really hard sleeping last night.
Not having much luck with a venue for his celebration, hope to hear back from one today that allows you to bring in your own food.
Might have to settle for a church hall.
Thank y'all for your continued thoughts and prayers as I chuck along this unfamiliar track.
Happy Rudolph Day!
