I hope you are doing well, I think about and miss you a lot. I wish I could've seen you one more time, not in a casket looking like a plastic replica of you sleeping. I still find your passing hard to fathom sometimes as it was so unexpected. I miss talking to you on the phone and can still hear your voice sometimes. At least the trip down to Kansas wasn't so depressing, we got ro spend a lot of time with Dad and Grandma and Aunt Deanne and Bret and Wyatt. There was a lot of family time and it was definitely the highlight of my summer. I wish we could have gone there to visit you though instead of saying goodbye.
You touched the hearts of everyone you met and there isn't another person like you. Your hawaiian shirts, ornery streak, and endless love for everyone in your life. You always loved when I painted you rainbows lol.
None of us were ready to say goodbye, but I know the happines you are experiencing right now is unfathomable. I just wanted to stop by and say hi, hopefully I will see you soon...but hopefully none of us will too soon. Whenever that is, I will give you a big hug. Have a good one.
Hey uncle tom. its jasmine. I'll miss you so much, i already do. but i know you are in a far better place now, I am sorry i never got down there in time. id do anything to hug you one last time. you are my sunshine, but for now you will shine in a higher place. i'll see you again someday, until then, i love you so much and please give fluffy a pet for me.

Hi, my friend, Sorry to be so late getting back to you.
I have been crazy busy. I am all well now, but I caught a bad cold (rhino-virus) lasted a couple weeks, but no fever nor body aches & the chest/head congestion went on for ever 2+ months, and exhausted all the time, competition getting air into my lungs. Had a roof leak and replacement this Fall, so I had to redo my under the eves storage. Tear out & replace the insulation, I have the insulation in, the rest I will do in Spring/June. My ancient kitchen faucet fell apart, literally, pieces flying. I had bought 1-1/2 years ago, a new faucet, high arch, single leaver, pull down with stream/spray toggle. So now I couldn't put it off and I installed the new faucet, just now. It was cheep, on deep discount from Home Depot, last one, cheep. And, the toggle stays on spray or stream until I change it, no matter how many times I turn the water off. Oh, I was taught by my father, I do all my home repairs, myself. My friend hurt his back & couldn't help replace the roof so I had to hire a roofer; but I already had all the materials. We have had a very mild winter again. I still haven't run the snow blower since winter of 2017/2018. I start it up to make sure it works, and move it around the yard to get it out of my way, during the warm months. Here in central N. H. we always have had spot temperature drops to -30 below 0, during January & February; also, weeks at a time never rising above freezing (32*) during the day. We had 1 single digit night time temperature in January & none so far in February. We have had a lot of up in the 40's during the day. So Global Warming is real. When I moved here 32 years ago we were a solid/tender Zone 4, right now I am a warm Zone 5b; and as of this winter I am a hardy Zone 6a. A super hardy Zone 6 (well sheltered) could thrive here. We have lost a lot of our amphibians, the hatching time of the amphibians is not matching up with the hatching time of the insects they need to eat to survive. Also most of the bugs they eat need very deep cold temps. to survive & the temps. are not going cold enough; so, not much biting bug activity in the spring. That is also hurting the migrating birds; lack of food to replenish from the long flights. Earth, hurts & has a temperature. I only put out black-oil sunflower seed, high in fat; It is all my birds ever eat, they ignore the song bird stuff. I never have to replace it all winter, they won' touch it, even if it is all that is there. And we have a lot of birds coming back early. The last week in March has always been the start of maple syrup season. They have been collecting the sap since late January, around here. Oooooww, I just checked the weather, we might get 1-4 inches of snow tomorrow. I just drive on that with my wide studded tires & pack it down like they do in Canada. Here's wishing you and yours a great Valentine's weekend; mine will be, even though I am working, I'll have fun. Hugs T. P.
May your New Year be filled with wonderful experiences, good health, prosperity, and love and may you be able to stick to whatever New Year's resolution you made. :) HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020. Love and Hugs Connie
