I'm a little late posting today. I woke up this morning with a sinus headache but after taking some Sudafed my headache seems to have gone away. Yay for this.
Too much rain for sure!
Sam and I rode to the farm this morning and wow...there are areas standing in water. We have had a good bit of rain and the ground seems to be saturated.
Later today, I met Mylee at Dillards and we shopped for her a pair of dress boots. She, along with her mom and dad will be attending an event at her school on Sunday evening. Her dress is a short, navy Blue dress and it is made from a soft leather material. She will also be wearing a furry jacket that is the same color as the boots.
This event will feature the Ribbon Cutting and the Grand opening of their New Arts building. (located on the right side of the above photo) This building is a state-of-the-art structure. It is absolutely gorgeous. The round building in the picture is a Museum.
I then stopped at the grocery store and spent an easy $85.00 on what seemed to be very few groceries. 😒
After putting all my groceries up, it was as if I was hit with a flood of tears. My grief is real and I've been struggling all week with it. "They" (whoever they is) says that crying helps
Joe, was my youngest brother and we shared a very close relationship. He was divorced, which meant that I took care of a lot of things for him. I am truly missing the phone calls everyday. He ALWAYS called me first thing in the morning, and then he might call me a couple more times throughout the day. Hope you will continue to pray for my broken heart.
Our temps are still pretty chilly outside, which means that right now, I am sitting here covered up with my warm blanket. We are going to have a light dinner tonight....Cottage cheese, blueberries, pecans and honey!
Woo Hoo...we are now watching Florida and Arkansas,(on tv) playing basketball.
Hope you all enjoy a nice, sweet evening...
Shug...
I'm sitting under a blanket too, mine is actually a heated blanket. I told Bob I don't know how I would survive winter without it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your grief. I've not lost a sibling so I don't know what it's like but I know I'd have a hard time. Hugs and prayers!
Awwww, you know I am praying for you Shug! I like the boots. Maybe you will be able to post a photo of her all dressed up for the opening.
ReplyDeleteYou have every right to feel sad and lost with your brother's unexpected passing, Shug. Just know you have others out here in blogland that love you and understand.
ReplyDeleteThe seventies called, they want their boots back.
ReplyDeleteGrief has a way of sticking with you. Sometimes it waits silently for a moment to strike and then it can hit you like a ton of bricks. When my husband passed away, months later I would think I was doing fine when all of a sudden a thought, a smell, a song would pop in my head and I would have to sit and have a good cry.
ReplyDeleteKeeping in prayer...I certainty understand my friend. Our son has been gone now for nearly 4 years...and no, the pain just doesn't go away, just keeping it real...it does though get better. Many hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteOh Noo sweet friend!! I am SO sorry for the loss of your sweet brother!!!
ReplyDeleteHugging you tight
Donna
Hello, my friend. Sending a virtual hug. Grief is the price we pay for love...I read that somewhere. Love Dillards!
ReplyDeleteHow I hope your sinus headache took a long hike during the night! You look so cute under that blanket; would you believe, my Tom has the same one!
ReplyDeleteLove Mylee's boots ... not so different than what I remember the Cowboys Cheerleaders wearing. Will you be sharing photographs?
Sending a prayer that happy memories with your little brother fill your heart today.
I said to a blog friend Rose right after Milton that I needed to cry but crying makes my eyes hurt all day and dosen't stop until the next day, so I fight it. she said make warm salt water, soak a wash cloth in it and gently soak your eyes. it worked immediately, now I can cry when I want to. I just stopped and said a prayer for you heart and I know He heard me
ReplyDeletein 1960 to 63 when I graduated, these boots were gogo boots. exactly the same, worn with mini skirts. I am with Ginny show us a photo if she gives permission
hugs and love coming your way
I understand your crying spell and the loss of your brother, the reunion someday will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI pray for your grief too - it is incredible hard to lose a loved one. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteGlad your sinus headache went away. I love those boots. And I know what you mean about $85 worth of groceries being tiny. lol
It would be hard to lose your brother anytime, but it's bound to be even harder because you connected with one another every day. That leaves an especially big hole in your heart. So yes, I'm sending my prayers too. ❤️
