Sometimes, fate intervenes and works things out for us and I'm sure your girls are equally proud of you!! xxxx
Thanks June, most times I forget about how my girls might think of me; but they always tell me how far they think I have come, since those bad times! I love them dearly, and they are the reason I came through, as well as I did! 💗💞💓xoxoxo

Good morning from soggy TN. It’s great for all my new plantings. We’re seeing some of the poppy and thyme sprouts showing from seeds. The perennial plants are perking up after transplant. Should be filled out and pretty very soon.
People are preparing for the 17 year cicada appearance later this month. We’re not going over-react, but many neighbors are netting the branches or taping the trunks of new trees to prevent cicadas from laying eggs in the tiny branches.

I remember when there was a big appearance in IL and the buzzing was horrendous.

I met a German tourist who couldn’t decipher the source of the buzzing noise and thought I was pulling his leg when I told him about the cicadas.

Blocked the back of my 5-ball, made up, stash bustin' sweater to check it would fit. I think it will be OK, although now I've seen it on here, I will have to check that the raglan is deep enough before I finish knitting the front!!
It looks good, I hope the raglan doesn't need to be changed too much! xoxoxo

The toilet upstairs is flushing by itself. Hopefully it will hold off until we can go to the plumbing store to get the parts. I know what the parts look like but can't always order them off the website because I don't know the part number!!!!
oH creepy. Would it stop if the water was removed from the holding tank?

So did I; and I thought the doc had cut half of my face away, at the same time! Thankfully that was only my vision through the anaesthetic! 🤣😂🤣 xoxoxo

I had a wonderful day, and my eldest dgd made a chocolate tart, with a coffee syrup and cream; for her mum and grandma, and it was delicious! I am thinking of asking her to come and make some meals for me, to last about a week! Just joking .... DH cooks some lovely meals for us. 🤗🤔😁xoxoxo

I'm a day late, but there is no reason why 'littles' can't have a 2nd (or 3rd) birthday celebration.
Happy 2nd birthday Lina.

It is wonderful for you to get things free. I always wonder who truly in the end pays for free things. They have to be paid for someway by somebody.
I suppose it would come out of the taxes; that are paid by everyone who works, similar to our Medicare!
