For Grandpa Doll

Today I put my trowel away for the last time. I closed my eyes to this life and opened them to the new. Today I put my trowel away for the last time. I breathed my last breath of earthly air and inhaled the sweet breath of heaven. Today I put my trowel away for the last time. I saw Mom waiting for me and we sang our song.

He gave me three wonderful daughters who stole his heart. He gave me strength and support.  He gave me everything he had and more. While he was sick and fighting the cancer,  he changed. He was no longer anxious. He was more understanding. He no longer let his pride get in the...

Root canals...

Image
I had to get a root canal today. It was started at least. The dentist had a problem with the drill so we had to relocate to another room. I decided to take a picture of myself and this was the result. I need to return in two weeks to get the process finished. I have been very sore from it. I hope it improves the next few days.
