My grandchildren LOVE getting cards in the mail. To them it’s something special. I send the fancy ones. My sister sends me really pretty ones for my birthday and I keep them on a shelf. I have one on my dresser from my mother who recently passed. It takes work to show you care. So I hope Hallmark stays in business. Texting and emoji just don’t cut it.
I guess urbex has been a part of juvenile exploration for a very long time. My brother, sister and I along with some neighbor kids were always exploring the LA storm drains in the San Gabriel valley 55 YEARS AGO. Being severely claustrophobic, I could only do the open ones. But I would follow on my bike and meet them down on Foothill Blvd several miles away. When I see the storms hitting that area now, it’s a wonder we survived. But then, it never rained in southern California.
I got the nail polish package as well…immediately thought it was a scam attempt. It was, but not on me. Unscrupulous businesses on Amazon will ship innocuous items so they can show a “shipment” of their product and then post glowing reviews. Quite lucrative it seems.
Even with a year after his passing, I still feel married. I can’t even imagine trying to find someone as perfect a partner as he was. I’m too old to “train” another one anyway. I miss him terribly.
My husband of 43 years passed away last year…it is still very hard…while I am still having to learn to take care of the chores he did (cars, tractor, ATV), I am thankful to have survived him….he would have been so very lost with the general day to day life things even with our boys around, it breaks my heart to think about it.
My recently passed husband of 43 years was filmed talking with a neighbor when he paused mowing our property a few years ago. I took a screenshot of it when I saw it. Don’t want it blurred.
We made it to 43 years in June, then my husband unexpectedly passed away 3 days later. He was only 73, me 69. Still trying to manage the trauma. I was so hoping for a longer time together. We did so much together. The boys try to help but it’s not the same when I want to tell him or show him something and there’s just silence. The most upsetting thing that happened just afterward was I needed to change a lightbulb on a high ceiling. There was no one to hold my ladder. I had no backup. They say it gets easier, but right now I can’t see it.
The artwork on their costumes is great too. This has been fun.
