She sent a picture of her and Jon Marc at Disney, which is where they were that morning. Heard from Annette. She said she had a great time in California with Andrew. I had sent JA a picture of the big, ripe blueberries growing on our bushes, and I heard from him.  I told Angela that I had smiled several times that day thinking about her supervisory position and people getting to see how smart and organized and accomplished and hard-working she is. She thanked me and sent me an afternoon hug.  I saw a post about a bug museum and I put that on Kennedy's page, and she liked that. Heard from Morgan. She was in the office yesterday since they all had Monday off, so we didn't talk for too long, but she seemed...

May 6, 2019 ~Brittany's graduation. The processional. Brittany is standing in front of her seat, along with others as they wait for everyone to get in. She has seen us and waved to us. I blew her a kiss and she blew one back, which made me jump for joy. Later, on Facebook, I said that it had tickled me that she blew a kiss back and she said that it had tickled her that it had tickled me.  ~Kennedy came over yesterday and looked through albums for a pictures for a present she is making Beverly for Mother's Day. We had so much fun enjoying the pictures together. When she hugged me bye she said that looking through the albums had almost been cathartic.  ~We met Jon Marc's parents although we really only ended up speaking to his mother. His father sat on the other side and he and Jon Marc visited a lot. They left before it was over.  ~Enjoyed visiting with Paul and Kara and got to see Kim and John and Noah. We were all just celebrating and being proud of Brittany, s...

May 3, 2019 Barry and Holly and I spent last night at Firefly. We left here at 7:15 last night and got back here at about the same time this morning. We walked out on the pier. We took Holly for a little walk. We took her to SeeMore and then walked around a little bit. We talked about the popcorn trees in the lowland. And then we sat in the glider swing that is near the edge of the bulkhead and watched the stars come out. As we settled in, I laughed and said, "This is what old people are supposed to be doing." He seemed unsure what to say, so I clarified, "This is what we are supposed to be doing."  Got to voice visit with Beverly yesterday. She had her first day of orientation at her new job. Heard from Kennedy. She'd taken care of getting a flat tire changed and is hoping to come over Sunday to hang out.  Heard from Amber. Had a text from Beth.  Got a lot of errands taken care of yesterday. Shawn and his friends came over to swim.

May 2, 2019 I woke up to a text from Faith. "Sorry to message you so late but I got the best news today!!! I'm going to be a key holder and I start my training on Friday!!! Hope you slept well or I hope you sleep well depending on if you're still up. I love you very much!" I'm proud of her and excited for him, and I just keep smiling because she shared her excitement with me. Heard from Skyler. Her sunburn is better but still itchy.  Phone visit with Beverly. She said the back window of their RV looks out into my shrubbery that birds seemed to enjoy, so she set out some seed, and the cats like to sit in the window and watch them. They've had all kinds of birds, and a little ground critter that wouldn't come all the way out of its hole, but only pulled in the seed it could reach from there. Tori was working from home yesterday, so I sent her a text in the middle of the day and we got to visit a little. She said she hasn't had any more kidney s...

May 1, 2019 Last night, remembering Kristi July talking to the teachers, "I do want to give a shout out..." and told them that it was our company that got the Duck Boats to Texas after the hurricane. ~Heard from Andrew. He said that he'd been awake for awhile and had been to another planet and back. ~Heard from Morgan. She sent me a picture of Davis.  ~Heard from Angela. It was a mid-day text hug, so we didn't chat long.
