Plate Lunch was always good...some kind of meat, two scoops of rice, and mac salad.

Yuck! Snow! I hope it ends up missing you.

They’re saying we could get a bit of it here Saturday. grrr! It’s only a 20% chance so maybe we’ll get lucky and get none.

It was a good day. Always a good one when I get to spend time helping out at the museum.

How are things down your way besides incoming snow?

Glad the week’s gone well so far. Bummer it’s going to be another long one though. Will you still have some time to get your Christmas tree this weekend?

She’ll still be with y’all in your memories.
Still not the same as being able to call her up and chat.
Prayers for all of you in your time of loss.

My Dad was a WW2 Vet (Pacific) and I grew up with his stories.

He was the Ship’s photographer, and i grew up with his pictures to go with the stories.

I have been very blessed.

I’m glad you got to go help out at the museum! What was your main task today?

We have gotten a bit over 3/10ths of an inch of very slow rain today. Great for the yard and plants!

Dulcie has not woken up today. She has begun to have gurgling in her throat, but is still lucid enough to clear her throat to remove it. She hasn’t eaten since Monday. We are keeping her comfortable with the morphine and Lorazepam.

I hoped you’d gotten a little more rain than that based on the radar. But gentle soaking rain is always good. There’s still more on the radar so maybe you’ll end up with a nice total when it ends.

We were thrilled to get 1.5 inch yesterday and it was a soaker. That was three times what we got the entire month of Nov.

Looks like any snow this weekend will stay north of us. Whew! But it’s still going to be cold enough we won’t want to go outside if we don’t have to. Highs in the 30s with wind.

My task today was what it was last week and will be for a while ..... cleaning uniforms. Just brushing them off real good with a lint brush. We’re supposed to get a bunch of garment bags from a dry cleaners to cover them with but they weren’t there today.

Sorry to hear Dulcie is going downhill so fast. But at the same time fast is better than lingering. For her sake any way. I know y’all aren’t in any hurry to say goodbye.
Prayers continue.

Well, it’s still coming down, and even if it changes over to snow/sleet, it’s still wet. LOL! 1 1/2 inches sounds wonderful...but people here would be crying “flood!”

I’ll bet some of those uniforms haven’t been cleaned since they left the person who originally wore them. LOL!

To tell the truth, I was afraid to go in to check on her this morning, but she was ok. Not responsive to voices but reacts to pain. Especially when the 2 ladies were bathing her and were not very gentle. I felt so bad!!
