A picture my son took of me

My son was testing out a new lens for his camera. Gosh, I am sure looking OLD. But then I am .

Friday May 30th 2008

It is a really beautiful day. We have sunshine ! It is very dry and some rain is predicted for tomorrow. We really do need it.

Tomorrow is my sisters birthday. She has helped me so much since my husband died. Don't know what I would have done without her at my side. The 911 operator called her and she was here as soon as possible. With COFFEE in her hands. She stayed with me until my boys arrived and my nephew Dana.

She and my older son were both born the same year three months apart.

Must get busy have much to do today. 

Remember to be kind.    Alice

It is Wednesday Morning

I will be out the door very soon. I had an e-mail from my niece and will be seeing her in Sept. She will fly in from Arizona with her aunt.

Must go and do my errands. I am a busy old lady. 

Tuesday Morning May 27th 2008

Our neighborhood is a bloom with lilac bushes. They are in full bloom and so pretty. It smells so nice.

I have much to do today. Will see how much I accomplish!

The sun is bright but it is forecast to be cloudy with some showers later today. I hope to get my screen house set up today and need to go and get my inspection sticker. This is my last week.

Everyday something has come up.......now I must get to it.

Have a great day.Alice

It is MONDAY Morning May 26,2008

I am running late with my post today.

My son is cutting the grass and later I will get outside.

We had sunshine early but now it is getting cloudy. Nice all the parades were able to proceed with good weather today.

I had some nice pictures from an old friend in NC. Her grandkids are  so very adorable.

I look forward to seeing my friend Beth in a few weeks as well as Carolyn up from Louisiana.

Hope you all have a nice day.

SUNDAY MORNING MAY 25,2008

Good morning. It is a nice sunny day here in MAINE. I have had breakfast and have been watching the finches at the feeder while I sip my coffee.

I have to go down to Topsham and put flowers at the cemetery. I will also go to the veterans 

cemetery in Augusta where my husband was laid to rest.

I am grateful for the wonderful church friends I have here in Corinna. Last year when my husband died so very suddenly the ladies were here with love and lots of food. With such wonderful neighbors and friends I have decided to stay in Corinna. I have posted a picture of my church where I am secretary of Corinna United Methodist Women.

Saturday afternoon

Here are a couple more quilts I have made.

It is Saturday Hope it will be a nice day

Yesterday we had sunshine and showers.

My son Mike who is my "KEEPER" didn't want me driving  160 miles in the changing weather.

So I will go tomorrow when we do have sunshine. Must have breakfast. 

My son has a wedding today............ enjoy the weekend.

HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY WEEKEND

The sun is bright. I made a perfect cup of coffee this morning. Now I will read the morning paper

and enjoy my coffee and toast and fruit.

Then off to the PO for the mail. After that I will be on my way to Brunswick and Topsham to visit the cemeteries and see some old friends.

Only two of us now go and place flowers on the grandparents lot. The young ones only know them by photos. I have wonderful memories of going to the grandparents and there were aunts, uncles and cousins. The aunts and uncles are just memories now.

Enjoy your families. Be kind to neighbors and friends. Enjoy life. Alice

SAD NEWS

It is with a heavy heart I have received the news that one of our extended family members has passed away.

With love and fondness we will remember Elloyd Millette. He was in a nursing home in Georgia

suffering from complications of diabetes.

It is a cloudy morning !

Good morning friends. I will have much to do today. This is a picture of my backyard apple tree.

 My backyard looks out on a large pasture. I know it is spring when they put the cows out.

I will also see much traffic as folks travel north to Moosehead Lake.

Stay safe and be kind. Alice

It is Wednesday Morning

Yesterday I went to Newport with Mike and got groceries before the holiday weekend.

Friday I will be in Brunswick and Topsham . 

Today I want to get flowers some to plant here at my house and some for the cemeteries.

My husband is buried in Augusta at the Veterans Cemetery. I will go there Sunday. 

We should have a very nice weekend with perfect weather.My son has a wedding Saturday.

To all have a great weekend and do drive safe if you go out on the highway.

Must enjoy my coffee and get busy today. 

With Memorial Day I am really missing my husband so much. My life will never be the same.

Good morning We have SUNSHINE

Yesterday we had sunshine-heavy rain-HAIL- and sun again. A really strange day.

An old friend from my days in Topsham called me and that warmed my heart. She said it had started raining in South Paris. I laughed and said "I have bright sunshine".

I went out and got in my car and was off to the post office. Just made it home and the downpour 

was hitting me with rain and hail.

If you don't like the weather just wait a minute. So true yesterday.

Be a friend to someone today. Alice

Hi a couple more pictures

It is MONDAY

I have many errands to do today. My Red Sox won! My Celtics won!

Wishing a nice day for everyone.

Sunday Afternoon

My Red Sox are winning and the Celtics are going strong. I have the Sox on the radio and the Celtics on TV.

I am adding a couple quilts I have made for all to see,

Good Sunday Morning

We got a little rain overnight and now the sun is bright and it is a wonderful day.

I have coffee perking on the stove.

Will later go and get the Sunday paper. Or Mike will go and get it for me.

For months Sundays were the time I felt so sad. Now I get up make coffee and have a good breakfast....that seems to start the day off right. Mike made three loaves of wheat and rye bread 

and that makes wonderful toast.

To my friends who do not know how to comment on my blog.

Read my post and at the bottom you will see comments. Click it and read the comments and make one of your own.    Love to all.

I knew it

The sunshine is gone and it is a cloudy day. A good time to do some chores.

I thought when my husband died I could not survive . A year later and I am really doing quite well.

Thanks to great friends and a wonderful family. 

I have two sons and one of them MIKE lives with me and is a great help. My other son lives in southern Maine.

I have four grandkids. Two of them grown adults. They are Rebekah- Christopher -Lauren and Caleb.I love them all dearly.

Tuesday I had lunch with ladies that I went to grade school with in the 40's.We have all been through the ups and downs in life and are always there for each other. 

Have a nice weekend

I am waiting today for my stimulus check.

I am looking forward to seeing an old classmate Class of 49 next week. She lives in Georgia.

Then in June I hope to see my friend Beth.

I have to get my car inspected and go to the landfill tomorrow. All the things my beloved husband did  and now I have to learn so many new things. 

It is sunny and nice today and we expect some rain over the weekend. So it is time to get some of my veggies planted. Should be a very nice day.

It is a wonderful sunny afternoon and I am going outside and enjoy it.

Mid 70' s and sunshine.

Good morning  from Maine

It is a beautiful day. Sunshine and 70's.

I have quilting to do today,
