Senior Ring for Josh

Hello dear blogging buddies. Sorry I've been away for so long. We've been so busy since the funeral of my dear FIL - with his estate, with my sweet MIL, with the farm, etc. We've hardly had time to think. I think when everything hits my husband, he may crash and burn. It's been two weeks now. My MIL even with her dementia has accepted that her love is gone on to heaven. She misses him so, and wishes to be with him every day. They would have been married 60 years this September.


I just wanted to check in with you guys. I've been reading when I can at work. This has been about the only place I've been able to keep up with you. Our homelife is so busy lately with all that has gone on that I hit the door running when I get off work and fall into bed exhausted. Work is almost a refuge sometimes. It's the one place that I can sit and be on my own time, my own schedule, and nobody's hollering for me to do something. Has it ever been that way for ya'll?


On a more happy note, my middle son, Josh, received his college Senior Ring in a special ceremony last week at his university. We are so proud. It's been a long time coming as he floundered around for a couple of years before deciding what to do and how to get serious about it. He has been on the 6 year plan. (I'm being sarcastic) So we are thrilled. He won't actually graduate until next May, but we can see a light at the end of the tunnel for him (and a raise for us!)So I'll leave you with this picture of me and my handsome son. He hates having his picture made, but I think even HE was proud and didn't seem to mind this time.


Be back soon with pictures of my garden. It's going pretty well, altho I had to replant my corn and green beans... (the dove and crows have been picking at the seeds...)
