Lexie and Chase

 Our eldest daughter Trica and her beau have two dogs.   They are well behaved and very good therapy for Jerry who has suffered six strokes since early Summer.   The Doctors are not finding the cause very quickly.   Jerry talks slower, thinks a long time on some things and his sense of taste is whacky...he liked anything with peaches, sauerkraut, eggs and lemonade other than that all food tasted the same.

Chase 

Chase really like me...and I really liked him.   Lexie liked to be petted and liked treats...but was not as calm and chill as Chase. 

It was fun to have dogs to pet again.

The Pearls

 The pearls have some family history and it can be found here.  

On Adam and Courtney's wedding day Jen sent me a photo.

It should have dawned on me...but my thought was oh Courtney's hair is so beautiful.

Paige is the keeper of the pearls and she brought them so that Courtney could wear them...they must have been the something borrowed.   I gave her a hankie from my Grandmother/ Mother/Far Guy's Grandmother stash of hankies. Courtney's hankie was pink with a crochet edge.  

The pearls are 76 plus years old this year.

Cemetery Visit

 Far Guy and I made a cemetery visit a few weeks ago to change out the flowers from Summer to Fall.

It would have been my Mother's 97th birthday she died when she was 94 years and 121 days old. Mom picked out the gravestone after my Father died.   Having vases on each side of the headstone makes it easy to have flowers there year round....nothing to obstruct mowing or trimming grass.
