Hi Soline, welcome to this terrific site where we're all somewhere on the road to getting better organized. I'd like to suggest that other than using up/disposing of perishables from fridge and pantry...just list kitchen cleaning projects if you're about to depart on holiday. I find I return energized and I don't mind tackling the list.

Do you know what you'll be packing? It's not too soon to bring out the suitcase and looking/stacking stuff. Check hems, buttons and those tiny details that can be so maddening.

Hi Soline:
WELCOME TO GON! We are glad you joined us. Very nice and helpful ladies here.

Just do what you can, and have a lovely holiday.

Yesterday, I scheduled a dentist appt for Monday. An eye exam appt for Aug 8th, and a doctor's appt for Aug. 20th.

Good for you Tinytina.

Hi Everyone! Been taking a couple of days to just let the tears flow. Tuesday would have been our first wedding anniversay if everything had gone as originally planned. It brought with it a lot of different emotions. Due to the circumstances, I had to let go of R twice in the span of three weeks last year. It was good to just spend some time going through pictures, reading old cards and letters, and crying and writing. Feeling better now, but I'm sure the tears are just under the surface and will be appearing again and again in the coming days. (Aug. 7th is the 1 year mark since he died.) It's a hard thing, but I have a wonderful peace within me that is getting me through.

Did you feel the earth move a bit under your feet about 15 minutes ago? I finished unpacking my LAST box! This is a major triumph for me as I never did unpack all of my moving boxes in the last 3 places that I lived. It feels GOOD!

DD and I went out to the car this morning to go do some much needed grocery shopping to discover a flat tire. DD was such a champ getting right in there taking care of jacking up the car. We tried to put the spare on, but the lug nuts were just too darn tight for us to get the old tire off. We finally gave in to defeat and decided to call a tow truck. That's what I've got towing on my insurance for so I might as well put it to use. We're waiting for them to get here. I can't find anything wrong with the tire so I'm thinking it just needs air. It looks as if someone took the cap off and let the air out. Can a person even do that, I'm not sure? I'm really hoping that's all it is.

My "Summer Goals List" is looking good too! I have a lot crossed off that has been completed. There are a couple of things that I have scratched off the list because I've changed my mind about doing them right now. I start back to work on August 1st, a week from yesterday, so the countdown has begun. I am very pleased with everything I have accomplished this summer. It has been a wonderful blend of getting things done and lots of relaxing.

Hugs Carol can't believe it has been a year nearly. Go with the flow and experience those emotions. It is all part of the grieving process. Hugh congrats on unpacking the last box!

WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO Carol. All unpacked. You will have those moments, and days, but better to experience them (like Karen stated) than to not. You can PM me if you wish anytime.
I cannot believe it is a year already myself.

You have to be proud of yourself in all that you have accomplished the past six months, moving, crafting, etc. That is wonderful. We are proud of you!

Karen:
Great going on the yard. Cannot wait to see it finished, along with your neighbor's fence.

It is raining off and on today! TYG! Grass is looking a little better. Not all green again....but better.

This upcoming week will be busy, I have a class and lots of plans to work in the house.
