How my Heart Beats

Mr O'Quilts visiting his brother in France 2010,

My girl and her girl...Aoife, 4 months today.

And me so far away...love her so much.

It is hard to know what I did today.

Evan's masks with filters..

Evan is 15...He ordered these pineapple masks.

It must be the fashion for teenage boys to love pineapples???

This morning guilt got me out of bed for one hour of a two hour zoom with CQG.

I was glad I made the effort.

I went to the library.....They brought it out to my book out to my car.

I tried to read my book on the great pandemic....in the sun.  Alas, I live in the woods and there was no sun.  I did all my exercises. I puttered....Bye, bye...the day was gone.!!

Wondering if my darlings should have a ping pong table, horse shoes, corn hole???

Of course there is a difference in price...just wondering...

Guess almost one am again is too late to ponder anything...

Kids coming home tomorrow afternoon for just two days before Thanksgiving break.

I hope I have the energy for games and other learning away from technology.

 

Oh...Life and its Lessons..

The kids came home from their cousins' house late tonight...The littles went right to sleep.

Soon, Evan asked why was I messing with our house??  Why was the TV different??...Why were the locks changed? Where were the I-Pads that he needed to finish his project?
And...where was his I-Pod with all his favorite music??
Evan has been through a lot.  In the past two years I have tried to make a stable life for him.
Now, a robbery.
 I told him that I left the door open when I went for an errand and someone came in.
We tried to celebrate that it was only things...and we were ok.
But, Evan is over tired and very sad and he is crying in his bedroom
Then...Facebook...here...shows me a picture of five years ago.
My man in France visiting his brother...Just five years later...no dear man at all.

No use my crying too...Better read my book before the library wants it back.
I realize that none of this matters.
With my Dear Man gone...nothing...
