It's hard to believe it's the last day in May. And it's been a lousy spring - heck we really didn't have a spring. It's going to go right into summer.
I'm trying to get back on track. It's much harder watching what you eat when you are home. I've gotten a little lazy - staying up late, sleeping in, not going out. I'm going to try and get back on track. Now granted when I stay up I stay up stitching, but then I can't get up in the morning. I brought 2 skorts from dress barn and had to return them. They were to big. Did absolutely nothing for me. They were elastic waist and I figured since I could pull them from my body by 4", they were too big. Plus they had this belt/tie/bow in the front that I didn't like.
My sister Jane retires today. Now that's 3 of us who don't work anymore. Susie been 'retired' the longest. It kinda scares me being retired - so much time. Need to get more stuff organized. I think next week I'll start in the basement - again. It seems when I try to organize it just makes a bigger mess. LOL

1 YEAR
2 things have happened in the last 2 weeks that impacted my life significantly.
The 1st was, on May 19 it was 1 year since my last day of work. I can't believe it's been a year. At the time, I couldn't believe that I had to look for a new job at the age of almost 64 but then on May 28 the 2nd thing happened. My Dad died.
I never told my Dad I lost my job. I told my siblings and I was going to tell my Dad when I went out at Easter. See they told us we were all losing out jobs on March 25 and kept us around until May 19. But when I went out to Chicago and saw my Dad, he was not doing well and I decided not to tell him. He would have just worried about me and I couldn't do that to him. I'm glad I didn't because he would have died worrying about me.
But because he died, it meant I didn't HAVE to go back to work. My dad was good at what he did and what he did was take care of his family. I'd give anything if he had gotten better and I had to get another job - but that's not the case.
I miss my Dad every day but I know he is in a better place. I just like to think of him up in Heaven with my Mom and his brothers John and Don and Aunt Nancy. I'm sure they are playing cards.
love and miss you every day Mom and Dad.

Happy Birthday Jimmy
38 years ago today my baby boy was born. I can't believe he is 38 - it seems like yesterday. I can remember bringing him home from the hospital. He was so tiny. He has turned into such a nice young man. I am so proud of him. He is such a good husband, a wonderful father and a great son.
Happy birthday baby boy.
