Blog from mom 4.20.08

I'M COMING HOME!!!

I guess you can tell by my opening statement that I'm more than a little lonesome. I'm counting the days and they can't go by too soon to suit me.

All my friends left for their homes more than a week ago and all the activities are done so time drags by.

Tuesday I visited my former neighbor, Eileen, who is now in a nursing home. She doesn't know me anymore and it is hard to see her like that but I tried to carry on a conversation with her and she would perk up when I mentioned certain things. She and Marland always teased each other so when I would talk about him, she would get a gleam in her eye. Life is not always easy and I am so fortunate that I am healthy. Seeing her is a good reminder that I am blessed.

Thursday I went to Applebee's with friends and Friday we went to Sour Dough Pizza with other friends. That doesn't help trying to get rid of food that I have in the freezer but I have a good friend who can use that after I leave. Saturday, I stopped at Caldwell's for a short visit. They are flying back to Minnesota a few days after me.

It's Sunday and I'm starting to pack my luggage. Looks like I'll have to send a box with UPS. I hope Jeff will watch for it if it gets there before I do.

This is my last email for awhile. I'm taking the summer off. The reason I'm writing this blog is to let my kids know what I'm up to and now I'll be where most of them are so there is no need. That doesn't mean that any and all of you that read this on a weekly basis can't email me at home. I'd like that very much.

Love Always, LaVerne
