PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Hi! We had lots of rain now it is suposed[sic] to turn Cold. Dr is pleased with the way my eye is healing. Will see him again Monday. Hope all is still going well.

Hope you can get the classes you want and other things fall into place.

Be nice to learn how to use the Computor[sic] to trace family lines. Maybe soon I can get on to that work again.

Do you need another quilt to keep you good and warm.

Be Careful on the snow and ice. No fun to fall down.

Bet you had a nice time Home for Thanksgiving and Shoping[sic] for Christmas.

Take Care of Yourself.

And stay healthy – with no colds – No fun to be sick

Love

Grandma
