GOT MY ATTENTION
I’ll admit that I knew something was going on. I just didn’t know what. Robin was EXTREMELY HAPPY when my son came home. She abandoned me! I wasn’t surprised. My youngest daughter had invited me to come to her house for thanksgiving, but I didn’t feel right leaving my son home alone. I planned to get a ham now that he was home and could bring it in. Then my youngest daughter suggested she and her family would drive up and join us. YEAH!
Before the cruise, I got my new covid shot and RSVP — Just to prepare for anything that might come home with him. He came home with a cold and decided he would shelter from our guests. I took extra vitamins. And planned for a meal that would now feed EIGHT. Robin would have more company too. Three more dogs would join the celebration. Our youngest daughter was gluten free now. I would NOT MAKE DRESSING. But many other staples would be on the table. I was very happy that I had gone through my art supplies. Both my oldest daughter and my grandchildren had new art supplies to play with.
I have kept our Christmas tree up and lit for four years now. I enjoy the lights, but the tree was starting to go DARK. New lights and a new angel were on my shopping list. I decided to stay with regular plates for dinner BUT NOT CHINA. I DID NOT TAKE OUT THE THANKSGIVING TABLECLOTH EITHER. Planned for FAMILY NOT COMPANY!
My oldest daughter’s husband took the ham in and out of the oven for me. My oldest daughter cut the ham. My grandson and youngest daughter stepped in to help. My grandson might be away at college next year. We had lots of food. THANKFULLY I HAD LOTS OF HELP. On Wednesday my left thumb became unusable. Let’s not talk about my knees or other body parts. It is surprising how much you use your thumb.
Friday morning, I was surprised to see a yellow stuffed duck sitting on the back porch holding a dog brush. I didn’t remember anyone having the duck. It was not one of Robin’s toys. NO ONE ADMITTED IT WAS THEIRS! Many years ago, my husband had a dog brush out on the back porch. The duck must have been out there too, stored in a metal canister that was laying on it side.
I don’t know what abilities the spirits on the other side have but I know a MAN WHO IS VERY TALENTED. Because of the duck and other happenings, I was sure something was going on. While my son was gone on his trip, I had a lot of help. My husband is often off with the other family when stuff is happening but this time, I felt like he was with me. I didn’t write down the little things that occurred but noted them at the time. I WAS VERY GRATEFUL.
DAWN FINALLY CAME on Saturday morning. On 11/23/2019 my family gathered to celebrate A GREAT MAN’S LIFE. I had forgotten. He had arranged for part of the family to be together on 11/23/2023 to celebrate FAMILY! I planned to go shopping so I invited him to come with me. I have to admit that I had a lot of human angels help at the store. I was tired at checkout and wished I would have help to unload the cart. The family in front of me had two grammar school age sons that were happy to help me when I asked. I bought new lights for the tree and a new angel for the top. The new angel is holding a rose. A good friend went home this month. Her name was Rosie. My new angel will remind me of her.
