The May theme of fortitude really kept my attention. The journey to begin to learn a way of living without my soulmate was not fast or easy. Taking 2-3 steps forward to seeing some good things then a step sliding back into sadness. And slowly realizing that there was a turn-around to more...

I'm back... Went over to the new market and got some freebies and used some digital coupons. Loaded up on some fresh veggies. And got a free gallon of milk (bonus as a new member). Got smart and put half of it in a plastic jug and stuck it in the freezer... as I won't use a full gallon by May...

Morning, all. We had RAIN yesterday... several different storms came through. The first one had lots of pea to quarter sized hail with it. Then a couple more later on in late afternoon and evening. Woke up twice to thunder and lightening during the night... was not a restful night to sleep...

What a delightful template...

Oh... this has been quite a day already... Wanted to call my sister and find out how it was at her house in TX last night. When I dialed her number on the home (cordless phone system) it took her number but would not call the number... message was "Hold" on Home line.... WHAT???? Hung up and...

Wow... it was quite a storm that blew through the area late yesterday. A huge hail storm covered about a mile of I-40 just to the west of here... it looked like the area was covered with snow!!! It tapered off before it got into the city but we did have the high winds from it. I need to touch...

Such a beautiful little girl... marvelous use of the template. Outstand clustering.
