Just Did Not Feel Like Writing

The last couple of days I just did not feel like writing. I started a couple of times, but my heart just was not in it.


However, I kept busy both days. So it kept my mind occupied mostly. Had lots of little memories (glimmers) of Jennifer throughout the last couple of days. Fortunately for the most part all of them were good glimmers. Maybe a "God Damnit Joe" glimmer or two while I was trimming the bushes, but most were good ones. It is funny how some of these glimmers can make me warm and fuzzy happy and other just are like a punch to the gut. However, they both make me miss her.


We did the Story walk prep walk on Tuesday. That went pretty well, I hope we get as nice of day on the 11th as we did that day. Then I came home and did some yard work, trimming up, the bushes and picking weeds. I got the front yard done Tuesday and then the back yard yesterday. Like I send I could hear her cautioning me not to cut too much off. Hopefully I did not time will tell.


Tuesday afternoon I went up to watch the Mesquite Senior games Bocce (four person team) games. I was happy to watch our friends Margot and Allen with Dorothy and Andy win the gold medal. Jennifer would have been very happy about that as well.


I also went and watched some of the Mesquite Senior games Pickleball on Wednesday. It was the Men's doubles. I was surprised how small the turnout was this year.


Yesterday I went to the Left, Right, and Center game, but did not win any money, but had a few good laughs. Our friend Sheri played and harassed me. It was a decent size pot ($72) but not as big as some days.


Played some Pickleball last night. A much smaller crowd than Monday night. We had 40+ players on Monday night. Last night we had 15 players.


I have Rotary this morning, so I best get up and get going.

Hi Joe. Sounds like you are keeping busy, which is good. I’m keeping up with your blogs. I enjoy reading them. I think of you and Jennifer often. Wish we had spent more time with you two. Loved the times that we did have together. You are both in my prayers every night. Keep trucking’. It’s not easy but time will, I think, help you adapt. Sending love and hugs. Lynn
