I was amused that they followed it to the dark side and continued spewing the crap.

I found out tonight that they have moved her out of the cancer center and into hospice. They can't treat it. She was diagnosed not even a month ago, and it is already near the end. I'm going make the trip tomorrow to see her. It might be the last time I get to do that.

I spent Saturday morning with her in the city and I'm glad I did. She passed away early Sunday morning. I am heartbroken for her daughter who has 2 young sons of her own. Mother's day will likely be painful for her for the rest of her life. The only good to come of it is that her suffering has ended. That now belongs to those who loved her.

My daughter came over for Mother's day and got a few things checked of my spring to do list. I am still way behind but not as much as I was.

Sorry to hear that FC but I'm glad you got to spend some time with her before she passed.

With the eight months of winter we had in Michigan, I'm about two months behind on my spring to do list. And I won't get to it anytime soon with a soccer tournament this weekend up north and a camping trip for Memorial day. Looks like June is my month to get some stuff done...

    We had a longer than normal winter also. Things have been super busy for the past few weeks since it warmed up and I still haven't gotten our little garden weeded and planted. I bought a couple cucumber plants this weekend that I want to plant. It's about the only thing that grows well in our little 4x8 garden. I'll put in the plants and then also plant some seeds. Hopefully it's not too late.

    I need to vent. I was getting ready to start working on a machine that was brought in a few days ago for repair and it was gone. Evidently one of our salesmen told the driver to take it back to the customer today. The unit hadn't even been looked at yet and there was no repair ticket. Nothing should leave here without a ticket. What a bunch of idiots I work with.

    My friend's husband called me yesterday to help with some paperwork. As I was leaving, he pointed to some lilies freshly planted in deck boxes. They have a beautiful horse farm with gorgeous flower beds. She had ordered flowers that he had never seen last fall and they arrived yesterday. He does landscaping so they must be very unusual if he had never seen them. He very carefully removed one and put it in a bag for me to plant by my barn so she would always be near. I cried. Now it is planted here and I can't wait to see what it will look like.

    Last fall we took apples from the trees in her pastures and I made wine. It was a blast trying to get the apples before the horses did. Every time she shook a tree I had 3 horses sneaking in from all directions trying to beat me to it. The horses got a lot of them because we were laughing so hard. We should have about 20 bottles after final filtering. I plan to label them with a picture of her and her show mare and open one every mother's day until they're gone.

    It's been a very long week and I'm still a little numb but I woke up today and that's better than the alternative. I've concluded that when I'm taking my final breaths I won't be wishing I had spent more time at work, so I'm going to be easing off a little at work and giving more energy to things that matter in the end.
