Have emptied my moms apartment yesterday. Depressing work. To throw away so much. Knowing you will never see it again... It was difficult and depressing. To see all the things she kept. My teeth from child age and a lock of my hair as a little baby. All the letters i had ever written to her including postcards. Poems and articles i had written.... It is, for some reason, difficult to see proof of all that love. Not that i ever doubted it but still .
Hopefully i can begin to concentrate on other things now, like SKMB, again.

That's my sister in the white helmet with the teddy bear, on a Toys for Tots run. She says that's not even a quarter of the bikes on that run. I can't even imagine how awesome it must be to be a part of something that amazing, if for sheer numbers alone.
She's a beautiful woman,

But mess with her at your peril. LOL!
I am simply in awe of my amazing seester. She's in her mid fifties and didn't start riding until the last couple of years. I admire her bravery, going after something new and adventurous, no matter the numbers. She's an inspiration to me.

It takes time ((((Holly)))) - give yourself (and the hubby) time to heal. As time goes on it does get better. It took me a few years to grieve for my Mom and then not long after she died, my Dad (he lingered on for a bit with Alzheimer's).

Thank you precious! I'm going to be OK. My nervous breakdown was just darn bad timing. Why couldn't it have been while I was at the beach drinking pina coladas and napping all day. I wouldn't even have noticed it then.

Thanks for the update on the turtles, HollyGolightly . I have relatives in West Virginia and when I'm lucky enough to go see them I often see those box turtles cruising around the roads. And just like with the painters and snapping turtles up here in NH, I always stop and move them out of the road....
You are the Turtle Savior of the Northeast. Thankee Sai. We've got the Southeast territory covered. God save the turtle!

Happy Hump Day!!

Was a tough workday today and we are all so tired of everything. I am happy that weekend is almost in sight.

Been warm and sunny these last days. But forecast says rain for tomorrow. I've started to ride my bike again. So I hope
weather getting better to end of this week. So I can drive.

Have a great day everyone and take care of you, be well and please stay safe.

(((Kurben)))

Lepplady - great pictures.

Sitting before my computer writing an article on a subject that i'm not very interested in. But they paid me to do it soooo....
It is national economy. According to me boooring but he who paid me to write it said that it's only good that i feel this way. The article is not pointed towards people that understand and are interested in economy but those that have difficulties understanding the different terms and words and how they are depending on eachother. He said that if you write so you understand and find it interesting they will too. He knows i'm good at writing about complex things in simple words (he has read somew of my history articles). We'll see how it turn out.
