Maureen Agatha's Dash

I can choose to do whatever I want today. Stayed in bed longer with Dave. Got up and made breakfast before he went to work. Enjoyed a long "Dreaming of the Sea" fizzy bath from Hotsy Totsy. Maybe I'll write a poem, or take a picture. Cross stitch or quilt. But whatever I decide to do,  I'll do without guilt!

Every once in awhile, I think about books that I could write. Titles like "Shattered Heroes". Maybe even Gross Disclosure', Choose Not to Remember". The sad thing is, those are the types of books so much of the population would buy. So many people hungry for those horrible things we never want to think about, talk about, let alone write about. If I did write them, truth be told, I would have to change names and submit anonymously.  I've seen so much. felt so much. Refused to admit some things and stored other things that I thought best buried. I know there are others out there that have this too.  If I wrote it, would it release to be blown away with the wind or would it leave deeper scars?

Hes officially 58

It's hard to choose joy when I wake up crying.  I'm going to do my best today.  Thinking about the close family I used to have. 4 children and a grand daughter. I miss them.

That's what Mom used to say. While I was working yesterday Ruby got sick all over the bedroom floor. I had to stop working to clean it up. It's sad that that is what it took to clear out the bedroom and scrub and mop the floor with Murphys oil soap. That was also Mom's go to cleaner for her wood floors. Of course everything I took out of the bedroom is now in the living room. I found the Vinyl Album set Crysta wanted. I bought it in 1984. 

Shane gets out January 24. I took the day off to get him but he wants Jess to pick him up. Ok. Lisa Eliadons daughter is pregnant! I wrote her a letter last night and included a letter I had received from her mom Sharon Miller.  Dave and I went to Maine January 13 and witnessed the highest tide in history overtake the cribstone Bridge that connects orrs to Baily Island.

I went to Home Depot yesterday at lunch to get Linseed oil. I was so excited about finishing Colleens project. I didn't like the results at all, so I'm going to wait until it's dry, carve in some more lines. And see what happens

Worked on my cross stitch and made Colleen a wooden pendant.

DAVE TOOK ME TO SUNRISE AND WE STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO GETVSNACKS. HILTON Park not very promising so we took the loop to Portsmouth and Newcastle. Whaleback pictures. Daves funny face made me laugh.

I set my alarm and went outside in my robe at midnight. Changed a metal bowl with a serving  spoon and called Colleen.
