THROUGH MY WINDOWS

Hello dear ones! Yes, I am home! When I left way back in November to travel up to Maine I expected to be gone a couple of months at the most. But stuff happens to aged people and aged pets and old houses, especially on an island in wintertime with no one close by who cares or is able to care if you are dead or alive. Add to that scenario a daughter who cares very much but lives almost 700 miles away. She is trying her best to give her mother some quality and dignity to her remaining years and fulfil a promise she made to her father. Then we have  to add a pandemic, the death of a son/brother as well as the demise of the beloved cat. And lastly, the illness of aged parent who is 93 years old . So, for those of you reading my blog for the first time this is my situation. I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother and a daughter.💖  The only flowers blooming were these growing on a large tree behind the garage in the dog yard. I forget the name of the

Pumpkin Island lighthouse Hello dear friends! I hope this letter/blog finds you well and reasonably content. As for me, I am sitting in my recliner with my trusty tablet in my lap perched atop my Tablet Pillow Pad I purchased from Amazon a few months ago. A wonderful purchase. I have my Amazon Playlist in the background playing and am listening to Eros Ramazzotti singing his album, DUETS, with well known singers like Bocelli, Pavarotti, Tina Turner, Cher and others I am not familiar with.   Very relaxing. 😊  Of course,  I don't understand a word of Italian or Spanish but I recognize the songs. And I love their voices. A few songs are in English. I don't know about you but music is a big part of my life. Roger shares my love of music, both classical and contemporary, and between the two of us we have a huge collection. Roger also has a great singing voice. I can barely carry a tune. And he loves to dance! 💖 Have I ever mentioned that he is quite the character? 😊

Hello dear friends,  Happy June! How ARE you? Are you enjoying more freedoms? My life here on the Island is about the same. The grocery store and pharmacy have the same restrictions as does my monthly trip to the Wal-Mart in Ellsworth where there are still long lines outside to limit the number of shoppers allowed in at one time. I found out the hard way t hat the store isn't accepting returns until after the pandemic. 😒  It was a very warm day and my feet were killing me by the time I got into the store to customer service and absorbed that information into my little brain (I should have realized it) but... I practiced kindness, as did they.💖 Finally we have love!y weather and pretty flowers growing. I have been reading all your blogs but not commenting much. To be honest, I have had to have a good "talking to myself" which, so far, I have ignored. 😏 I am my mother's daughter after all, and if she won't listen to me, why should I?  I
