Well, we went to the beach today, our son's place. It was so nice, good breeze from off the ocean, sunny, and I think I got a little to much sun, my face is a little red, and feels warm right now. His canopy in the back yard was almost down, had a big pool of water right in the middle, ( from the big rain a week ago) the frame was down about half way, we removed the canvas, put in over his spa to dry, and took the frame apart. We have a few poles from an old canopy, going to see if they might fit the ones that got bent. I told him back in October to take that canopy down, I told him the wind might pick it up and fly it over to his neighbors yard. Well it didn't, but now it's down, don't know if he will ever get it back up. I also told him to put all his patio furniture away ( he has two nice big pillow chairs and a love seat, a coffee table, a end table, and a fire pit out there, and they are getting faded, and I noticed the fire pit is getting rusty on the sides. He's never home any more, should put everything away before it's unusable !!! He's asked us if we want to move in to his home for awhile, his home is big and beautiful, but we like our own home, and I have my garden I love. I am just getting ready to get it back into shape, our home is more comfy. His home is big and you can see the ocean from there, but it's drafty, and damp when there's fog. You know how you can get a feeling from a home ?, well when I am in his, I get a sad feeling !!!! The couple that he bought the home from, were getting a divorce that's why they were selling it, and I think that's the sad feeling I get when I am there. We made good time coming home, and it was much warmer here, and my cats were waiting for me when I got home. I still love our home, even after 52 years, I just get a god feeling when I come home. A friend of my husband came over one day, and said he could feel a lot of love in our home, I think that's what I feel too. A lot of love from all the years we lived here, raised our children here, and all the happy memories we have put in this home !! If possible this is where I want to end my days if I can, right here in this home I truly love. I told my husband that if I die before him, he should cremate me and sprinkle my ashes in the garden, good for the soil, and would me happy too. Sully in Sunny California
