MARCH was
a very busy month!
Where to begin? Let's start with Dad who,
at the end of February turned 88!
In my visits this month I have found him less and less communicative and he has now been put on the puree food menu. The several times I visited at mealtime he ate every bit of his tray. So the appetite remains fierce as ever, it's the swallowing of solids that was an issue. I sit beside him and give him reports on their homeplace and the family. He nods and will give rolling eyes when I say something outrageous. Oh yeah, he's still listening.

| Here I am visiting Dad Easter Sunday, Mar. 31. My Aunt Sharon took the pic. We had a nice visit together. |
Mom's plot got an upgrade
on her March 24 birthday.
I installed a graveside Meditation Bench
and two black vases
on either side of their headstone.
The installation of the new bench
and headstone vases
I did after giving both our Machu cemetery
and the adjacent Beard cemetery
a lovely mowing and edging
prior to the Easter Holy Week.

Oh lordy,
I struggled for over an hour & half
with spade, hoe, and pick ax
with spade, hoe, and pick ax
trying to remove this dead bush
from a bed near cemetery pavilion.
But I got 'er done!
And then I came home
later that same day
and dug out a dead bush in
my backyard
and planted this lovely new
red salvia for my hummingbirds
Speaking of family cemeteries,
I also visited the Taylor City Cemetery
and placed flowers on the graves of
my Loessin grandparents and
great-grandparents,
as well as my dear friend Jason.

Loessin grandparents and my Dad
I redid these shadow boxes on the wall
of their items that have
special meaning for me.
Well, I don't know about you,
but after all that hard work
Arne and I needed a break!
LOL!

Here we are chillin'
on the patio
earbuds in while listening
to classical tunes
and reading my new mystery,
a glass of chilled
sparkling cider at hand,
and my best friend in my lap.
Ah-h-h-h......

Chad gifted me with a new

I named her

after everyone's
favorite mother-in-law!
We made a healthy lunch
and did a bike ride out at
Lake Granger's Fox Park.
