We ended up having a birthday WEEKEND for Solveig! Of course we made Danish Layer Cake and we actually made another one because her sculpture teacher at Meredith has the same birthday, so Solveig wanted to bring her a cake too and share with the class, then she also brought a quilt for her and …
My oldest daughter Solveig is 20 today, she’s artsy fartsy and a great big sister, a good student- a senior at Meredith College. She’s majoring in Psychology and Minoring in Studio arts at Meredith, and next semester it’s going to be all art classes! She’s really done some soul searching and found that she doesn’t …
Last weekend we went to the beach for a few days to get some vitamin SEA and some nice rest and relaxation! The weather was nice, in the afternoon we were actually able to go into the water, we didn’t expect that in October and hadn’t packed swimsuits, but Dan, Bjorn and I went in …
Grandpa passed away Wednesday morning, 11 days after Grandma….He was right, when they lived at our house back in May and she was not well, he told her, she lived a good long life and whenever she’d die, he’d die soon after that… and he did! It was kind of odd this time, Monday morning …
Thanks everyone for the condolences. We have gotten grandma cremated and decided not to any sort of ceremony, because we sort of did that as a family Saturday when she passed away, and she had outlived all her friends and family and that had really made her sad the last few years. And with grandpa …
Thanks for those of you emailing me asking how we’re doing in NC! We live in Central NC and only got bad rain and wind Friday, we didn’t even lose power! (we have a generator so we would have been ok if it happened) BUT we still had a stressful week, I mentioned in my …
What a week, my in laws are not doing well at all. Grandma is near the end for sure, she hasn’t eaten or drank anything since last Sunday, she can’t sit up in bed or get out of it, she isn’t even whining or crying anymore, no sounds at all except maybe a slight murmur! …
Sickness is still lingering in the house! Grandparents are still somewhat ok, thanks for those of you reaching out to me/us! I’ve kind of taken a backseat on all of this, Dan is there on weekends and Renee our CNA is there Monday afternoon to Friday afternoon. One tells me everything, the other tells me …
Sickness hit our house this week, actually I don’t know if Sonja started it when she was sick a week ago or it was our dog sitter who was sick with covid after watching Chewy two weeks ago, then she saw us a week ago outside and we talked but were downwind from her, either …
Recently the kids and I went to B Everett Jordan Dam near us, it was pretty cool and only 20 min from home. We’ve had several appointments for doctor and dentist this week, otherwise not much going on, other than my in-laws are declining very rapidly, grandma is delirious and doing weird stuff and …
