Thinking of You, Hops

[gratitude28]

I have been thinking about you all day, Hops. I think we live somewhat near each other. It has been so pretty here. I have been walking and looking at the flowers (my favories are te peonies - I had to ask someone what they were). We've been in the woods, too, to smell the honeysuckle and collect ticks (yuck).

Are you doing OK? Are you feeling down, or are you hanging in there? You have been quiet, and I hope that is due to being busy.

Please take care, Hops. You mean so much to me, and to so many here.

God never gives you more than you can handle (though he comes close sometimes).

Love, Beth

Beth, sweetie, thank you so very much.
Yup, I think we're in the same region too.

I'm okay...trying to kind of climb out of the shock part and get going again.

I realized today something helpful -- all I have to do is MY PART.

My brother and mother can own their parts, whatever they are.

I've been working hard, enjoying Mr. Gardener on weekends, and getting waaaaaaay behind on paperwork.

Got my room pretty tidy this weekend. That felt good.

thanks for checking on me, hon.

love,
Hops
