Continuing Onward

A healing lunch
the last bowl of soup I duplicated from my granddaughter Sarah.
Brocilli, Cauliflower, Potato, and assorted vegetables, cooked and creamed with coconut milk, blended until creamy,  so good.
My favorite Sweet Potato crackers, Gouda Cheese and been probably 40 years for this drink
Bloody Mary, the best Vodka, V8 juice, olive stuffed with cheese (cannot drink a small amount of wine as it burns my mouth,  Ending with a slice of the best fruitcake I could find online (always' made my own_
So a continuing to heal meal, have gained 6 lbs, many yet to add to this small frame. eating every 2 hours


While eating I hear the tractor, been calling for days, another blessing before rain expected
and soon green wheat will fill the field.

I Smile
at my memories.

God is so Good to me.

I will continue onward

Thank you to all of  you who take the time to read my rambling and respond to me

Love,
from one woman who is now ancient and lives by the edge of the woods.....

Missing Him

They pull out the long country drive
I vow to not let him see me cry.....

I say
thank you over and over
the words so simple
but heartfelt

He leaves his mama
feeling better than when he arrived

He tells me to keep resting, moving and eating
and he will return in March

God Bless him
Safe travel wishes
sent.

My mind begins
how in the world
have I lost almost a year?

So I pass on
Never take anything in this life for granted.

I have so much to be thankful for
and maybe
the Good Lord
is going to give me more time
on this planet
surrounded by my nature filled environment.

THANK YOU

Sarah, thank you
I did it
Cauliflower soup.

Love you
grandma

Relearning much

patience, never my gift

weak, need 15 lbs, eating every 2 hours, difficult to imagine what happened

thank you to everyone.

My granddaughter the chef has brought me many soups
and this one my favorite.

An addition of many veggies, chicken broth and coconut milk for this soup cook all day
and then blended is so good.

Continuing onward, the son leaves for Thailand soon and will miss him.

and 5 days after his arrival
his father passed away, heart, very quickly and peacefully,
Funeral, Tuesday morning, many in the family, far and wide will visit me on Wednesday.

Thank you again for the many encouraging and healing words.


Love you
the lady in the woods

So Sorry

I struggle to write.

Thank you, everyone, for your special words, encouragement, and friendship.

A miracle if I bounce back
always believed in miracles
but may not happen

Told last week
my immune system was shutting down

struggling too even move

So many things I believed in my life
not happening

Hospice has been called in

So sorry for my family
and do not want to linger like this

I will say
the mind is still fine.

A lot of help arriving
but never wanted help doing the things I love....
