Sometime recently I mentioned something about Roy's tiny harmonica but I didn't share a photo. This is it and yes he could actually play music on it! I am trying to make an effort to get out and do things that put happiness back into my life. It's been a year since I've had a… Continue reading 10.08.20 I’m trying but this being a widow stinks…..

10.06.20 Peep and Chickie have a new home and other nice stuff
We are already six days into October. Time is passing fast sometimes and sometimes it is passing slow. Friday and Sunday were busy days at the Chauvin homestead. On Friday around noon a wonderful young technology guru named Lane Director came over and got Roy's personal computer running again. Roy always loved working with Lane… Continue reading 10.06.20 Peep and Chickie have a new home and other nice stuff
10.01.20 So much has changed
So much has changed since Roy passed away. I'm not sure how clearly written all of this post is. Losing a spouse for me is like losing a leg. Please love your spouse with all your heart, do right by them and thank God for them every day. One day they will not be there.… Continue reading 10.01.20 So much has changed
09.29.20 Make the Chili
I have thought a lot lately about how married couples should make more of an effort to do kind things for our spousea. In our later years, Roy and I did loving-kindnesses for each other but gosh I wish I had done more of it. That man worked so hard for our family for so… Continue reading 09.29.20 Make the Chili
09.26.20 Roy Chauvin’s Funeral September 5, 2020 and some thoughts
I posted this initially with no photos. I didn't take any that day but I thank Chip for taking pictures that I am including below. There is no picture of Roy, I would not do that.

09.25.20 Swapping phones
Since swapping phones with Roy's I haven't been able to hear the phone ring. I also couldn't tell who was calling. The calls coming in on my old phone had names and ringtones associated with them. On Roy's phone only numbers showed and who knows people's numbers any more. I figured it was something I… Continue reading 09.25.20 Swapping phones
09.20.20 Grief, Social Security and Verizon
Last night, Saturday, I felt such deep grief and cried missing my husband and knowing I will not see him again until I die and go to Heaven. I miss Roy's presence. I miss his joking and picking on me. I miss his love for me. I miss him reminding me to take my medicine… Continue reading 09.20.20 Grief, Social Security and Verizon

09.11.20 Roy’s photo slide show, the trash bag and the God thing!
I needed to write something that made me smile and be happy for a few minutes. Roy's photo slide show: After Roy passed away I went to the folder on my computer where his pictures to be used at his wake and funeral were saved. I did think there were a lot of photos there… Continue reading 09.11.20 Roy’s photo slide show, the trash bag and the God thing!
09.09.20 Getting through the first days and Roy’s wake
I've learned so much through this experience from others about what really helps a family during the first day or so after losing a loved one. Prayers and love are of the highest importance but food comes in next. The day after Roy passed away friends brought food. The unbelievable new neighbor Missy who ran… Continue reading 09.09.20 Getting through the first days and Roy’s wake
