Thursday, March 1,2007

Today, I did a lot more paperwork. I had a box of important papers and went through one by one.

I tried to tie up the business transactions but a back order is stuck in the computer and I have been able to figure out how to get it out. I can’t go any further until I get the back order transferred into an
Invoice. Hopefully, I can get that cleaned up tomorrow.

Some of my neighbors did not know Ted had passed away and were very sadden today. Naomi told one neighbor who was shocked by the news. My neighbor across the street did not know either. I told her and at lunchtime, her husband came over to offer his sympathy and any help that I may need. I will need help starting the lawn mower in a few more weeks.

My snow crocuses are in full bloom and I pick some daffodil buds that were broken down by the snow and ice last week. They are bloom in a vase in my kitchen window. Naomi will help me with learning to use Ted’s camera and perhaps I can get some photos. I will then need some help as to how to post the photos on the blog.

Danny Boy seems to get upset while I am typing at the computer. I wonder if he misses Ted typing here. He wines and whimpers. Maybe he just wants to go out. Heavy rain is expected tomorrow morning. Danny doesn’t like rain. He runs across the driveway, does his business and runs back in. He usually likes to walk a couple blocks or go all the way around the block. He loves to be outside.

I went to choir practice tonight. The songs were uplifting. I like singing in the choir. It’s a good therapy for me.

You're worrying about mowing the grass when you still have snow on the ground?? Stick with your concerns for today. Take it just one day at a time. You have enough on your hands rather than worry about tomorrow. Leave that for the Lord.

And yes, Danny Boy is missing Ted. I noticed that last weekend when we were there. That was why he wouldn't leave any of us alone. That was why he was a nuisance for you when you are on the computer. He knows the routine, and it just isn't the same.

Keep up the good work, Karol. We love you and are very concerned about your days ahead. You are in our prayers daily.

We do not have snow on the ground. We have flowers blooming. and the grass will not be far behind, especially with the warm rain we are getting today. It is time to get the yard ready for Spring.

I'm so glad you are continuing to keep the Vorlon blog. It just seems like the greatest gift we can give to a loved one is to continue their work. I love that you give the details of your day. It paints a very vivid picture. Sound like you are surrounded by caring friends and neighbors and that's so important. God Bless.

Hi Karol, You must be a wonderful friend to so many people. I am awed that you (and Ted's) friends are helping you through each day. It says so much about the love and caring so many people have for you. And, as others have mentioned, you have been a blessing to us by continuing Ted's work in telling us about your days. We love you for doing this. Even in your sorrow, you've taken a part of your busy busy days to let us know how you're doing. And, you are a very busy lady to be sure. I think Danny Boy must sense the change in your home. Ted loved that little guy so much. I think Danny was a blessing to Ted, and I hope he continues to be a blessing to you too Karol. They definitely make extra work, but, they also provide so much unconditional love when we need them. Thinking of you so often and knowing that God is watching over you too. The incident where you overlooked the inspection made me know that God was with you giving you just a little tap on your shoulder to remind you to notice that it was the last day to take care. I so believe that He is walking closely with you Karol. It's just awesome that your crocus are beginning to bloom. We couldn't begin to find a crocus in MI. We're having rain, thunder, sleet, rain and snow, and sometimes all at the same time. We have definitely ruffled Mother Nature's feathers some way, and she must be scolding us soundly. Again, thank you so kindly for continuing the blog Karol. We know Ted would be very pleased about this too. God Bless You and all your wonderful friends. You remain in our thoughts and prayers each day. Sincerely, Ruth
