They Remind Me

Photo: 2026 Pussy Willow

 Larry often brings me flowers. 

It is his love language.

It is his way of saying things to me 

without really saying them.

It has been a difficult few weeks for me.

The unfortunate Hawaiian accident 

and a few personal things

 have brought me down. Really down.

Yesterday he brought me pussy willows 

They remind me of being a little girl in Philadelphia. They remind me of happy carefree times.

They remind me of Easter and the renewal that happens each spring.

They remind me that sometimes I have no control over what happens in my life.

They remind me how much Larry loves me.

They remind me how beautiful life truly is.

Love you beyond the moon.

Wine With A Straw

Photo: Drinking wine with a straw

 A day or two after my accident while on Kauai, Larry took me out to dinner.

My hand was torn up. My lip

 had 6 stitches and I had a slight concussion...

My lip was black and blue, 

and the skin on my right hand 

was scraped down to the bone.

I could not drink out of a glass,

 so I drank my wine using a straw.

I do not recommend it.

I downed the wine so fast...I was drunk.

At least I forgot about all of my injuries.

Sweet Larry captured it all in this photo.

Thanks Larry.

Love you beyond the moon.

Moments Remembered

 Our Kaua'i trip was eventful, but not a bust.

Today, as my cuts heal 

and my concussion subsides...

special moments come to mind.

Please have a great Thursday.

Love you beyond the moon.

Easter Portrait

 Easter at The Cottage was low key this year.

It was just Larry and myself.

We did not really care about 

taking a photo, but we did.

The geranium behind us was a gift 

from our wonderful neighbors.

(It is so beautiful)

***

I had to go to Urgent Care yesterday

 because of my torn up hand.

I have more medicine now.

Please have a happy Wednesday.

Love you beyond the moon.

The Luau

Photo: Ready for the Luau

Twenty four hours after the accident,

(I tripped and fell on a concrete sidewalk in Poipu)

 I was dressed and ready for a Luau.

Pain permeated my body,

 but I was determined not to

 miss one moment 

of this year's adventure on Kaua'i.

So, with six stitches in my lower lip, a slight concussion, a bloody nose, skin scraped off my right hand (to the bone) I dressed and went to my favorite Luau.

I will remember this evening for a long time.

Vacations are for making memories....

Love you beyond the moon.

Aloha Kaua'i

 It was a wonderful vacation.

Long, warm days and cool nights.

The perfect company.

Sleeping in a cabana.

Drives along the coast.

New friends visiting on the lanai.

Excellent wine with dinner.

A beach front luau during a rainstorm.

A Champagne picnic on our last night.

One trip to the Emergency room.

Six stitches.

One very attentive husband.

Aloha, Kaua'i

I will explain certain things later....but,

it was a wonderful holiday.

Welcome home to us.

I hope that you had a lovely Easter.

Love you beyond the moon.
