For as long as I can remember, if I am out of town, Fred will pick me up at the airport with a bouquet of flowers. This is the sweetest gesture ever. I deplane, come through the gates and see his smiling face standing with beautiful flowers and everyone is watching to see who… It’s good to be home, especially to see Fred’s smiling face!

I took a quick and somewhat unexpected flight to Michigan to see my family. It was very brief, but at least I got to hug them which hasn’t happened in 1 year and 9 months… but who’s counting? Actually, I’m quite sure many of you have been counting…

I was able to visit my parents and my sister – so that was nice. It’s back to reality today… normally I have posts written ahead of time on this blog, but after having family in town for our nephew’s wedding, then hopping on a plane with my sister back to MI I am awfully behind. So (JM) no need to send me a message telling me to post a house plan 😳. There will be a house plan posted this Friday. Sometimes we all need to be flexible. 😜I realize y’all love the house plans, but they take a bit of time and when time is short then I have to skip it. Please have patience… #reallife

✍️ Until next time…
