Pilgrimage - June 30, 2014. I left there and drove north a few miles to Flamingo Jim's - one of our never-to-be-missed destinations on the Coast. They have everything from t-shirts to knick-knacks, not all flamingo related, but just a fun place to shop and pick up little odds and ends for ourselves and the grandkids.

April 29, 2011. I opened my eyes. Eight o'clock! Where was Jim with my morning cup of coffee? He never let me sleep this late, and since I'd fallen from his truck four days ago, he was especially solicitous, wanting to know how I was feeling, if I'd slept well, was I in pain.

No," he said, showing a flash o...

It's the little things. Here we are, two years later, and the only thing that doesn't change is that I keep being surprised by the changes! Lest you get the wrong idea, let me rush to say that I'm in no way wanting to hurry him out of this world! It's not a skill I ever wanted, but I certainly am thankful that I developed it!

Fifty-two weeks. Anniversaries come around like that. They start with, "One week ago." or "One month ago." but eventually the weeks and months become a year, and we sit and wonder where the time went. How can it have been so long? How did it go by so quickly? I'd just visited my doctor, complaining of pain in my left leg. He'd ordered x-rays, gi...

Change is good, people say. Change can also be bad, sad, distressing. Change can even, I suppose, be neutral. On a more emotional level, I'm experiencing the almost daily change in how my life is ordered, and the ebb and flow of Jim's physical and mental limitations. That will never change.

You're funny, Grief,. But I'm not laughing. Some days - not many -. You are there, but gentle:. Bringing memories of happy times. Days when we smiled and laughed,. Days when we quarreled and made up,. Days when life was just. Wine on the deck. Ducks in the yard. You're like the Class IV Rapids. On Jim's beloved Deschutes:. Today, for example,. Days yet to come.

There is a secret place that lovers share,. A place that is theirs alone. It's the place that holds the memories. Of the first kiss,. The first fight,. And the first time you silently forgave. For a hurt that the other didn't even know had happened. In this place,. This place of memories,. Of hours spent together,. Here live the private words,. The stolen looks,.

A perfect day for knitting and a movie. I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with Thing One and worked on her socks. I've decided to make socks for everyone! Thing Two and DH and me. DH says he doesn't. I figure the 70% Superwash merino will make them warm, the 10% nylon will keep them tough, and the 20% Bamboo will help wick moisture a...

In late summer of 2015, my sister, niece, and I made our second genealogical Southern tour. This time it was precipitated by the news that one of our forebears, John Justus Grovenstein, was to be honored by the DAR at Oak Grove Cemetery in St. Marys, GA. And Eulia May Love.
