I woke up Saturday wanting to share recent events so here goes! I've been writing my private thoughts and my activities in what has grown to be a very long blog. But there are some things I want to share today and tomorrow. This past week Roy's tiller found a new home. The nicest couple… Continue reading 10.26.20 Tiller, grave monument, voting for President Trump, trucks and pumpkins

10.16.20 A day with my big sister!
My big and only sister Harriett came to visit Wednesday. We drove down Highway 16 with me showing her everything along the way. When she and my brother-in-law George come to visit they go the back way so Highway 16 is full of different scenery. We planned to eat at Wendy's but when we got… Continue reading 10.16.20 A day with my big sister!
10.13.20 Samson’s playground, Mulberry Tree, Jesus Circle, and more good things
My little buddy Samson has given me, his Grannie, so much comfort and love. He's was at his mama's for a couple of days and I couldn't wait for him to come back. Daddy Chip built Samson a 15' x 15' playground outside the back door. I bring him outside with me every time I… Continue reading 10.13.20 Samson’s playground, Mulberry Tree, Jesus Circle, and more good things
10.08.20 I’m trying but this being a widow stinks…..
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. I have worked on this post for the last couple of weeks. Couldn't write about it before that. I… Continue reading 09.26.20 Roy Chauvin’s Funeral September 5, 2020 and some thoughts
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
