Remember The Days When He Was Here

Image
This really has become a living diary of my world. I took myself off of TikTok even after I had 31K followers I got tired of the Rederick on there! Same crap different day. So I came here to do my writing again. With that said, today well started out alright. I got up, made coffee as per usual. Thanked God for another day. And then, I prepared for my day after a long conversation with my insurance company about address change and some policies to update. Then I went into Missoula to pick up the trailer I had reserved at U-haul. Came back to the rental cabin and proceeded to start the packing. I got about half of it packed. About 4:30 I called it quits. I will finish that tomorrow.  Then I have been in a dilemma as to when I should take the load up as we are expecting snow this  weekend! Ya I know ...only I could have more surprises thrown my way... The closing on the house is Friday. So I will go up then but I wonder if I should leave tomorrow with the load then stay the night...

Great Tragedy

Image
I just saw this post yesterday that got me stirring. This poor baby was six days old and violently killed by her father, so the story is showing!  I myself am so sad for this family. From what I can gather: - The mother-in-law was attacked - The wife was attacked - A couple others were attacked It sounded like they were on an outing and he just lost his ever-loving mind. Premeditated from what I can see, but it is just horrific the things that we're seeing . "ETA: Nathan Thomas, Aurora’s own father, committed this crime. He killed his own six-day old baby. May he rot.  This is baby Aurora, six days old. She was stabbed in the head yesterday in Great Falls, Montana. Her entire family suffered injuries in the attack. She died in the hospital. I am sharing this because her surviving family members need financial help. Please donate.   From a family acquaintance:  “I am asking our community to please come together for some of Eric and my best friends who...

Nature Walk

Image
The day brought a lot of changes! I signed papers to finish the closing on my Marquand house. This for me was a bit stressful because it meant I had to venture into the heart of Missoula. Ughh! I got it handled but because of that stress I had extra energy with no place for it to go. So off into Nature I went! 4 mile hike! It is beautiful little hike. Nature Conservancy @Rock Creek . It is not all that long, It is disabled accessible.  If you want you can walk down by the river. There is a fenced in area that you can pass through as well. It is to protect the little critters.  The log cabin was just restructed and it turned out just beautiful. I tried to get the pics of the story of the cabin and why it stands there.

On the Verge

Image
I feel like I have been on standstill since May. Things in storage, renting a cabin and just staying busy enough to not go nuts! I can finally see that light in the tunnel. Let me explain... I have a contract to buy a house in Central Montana about 4 hours from my present spot in Western Montana. And today (9/11) my property in Missouri is under contract to sell! Finally! In October everything should come together. Closing on Missouri house and purchase of new one, all in about a week's time. I am so thrilled!  The little house needs some TLC but should be fun to turn it into mine. This is the first time in my life that I have solely owned a house. I have been a partner to a few but this one is all mine. I am embracing this for more than one reason, but the main being, moving forward.  I look at it like this, I didn't choose to be unmarried/single but life chose it for me. Tom's passing only gave me one choice in my mind. Believe me I argued, I screa...

First 5K

Image
I walked my first 5k this last weekend on the 5th. Three miles turned into four because of some change in course. I cried 85% of the Walk only because this day that I walked this was our 16th anniversary!  I so wish that my husband was back at the brewery sitting there waiting for me cheering me on!  I do have to say that the folks who ran the 5K were very awesome. Very caring people, they saw that I was really struggling and checked on me every so often just to be sure that I made it. Half of the Walk was uphill and they were concerned. I am ever so grateful for their kindness.  When I got back I had a squirt and received my token glass and the guy that was part of the 5K was cheering me on when I got back!  I go again this weekend to another... Hopefully it goes a lot better!! 💞 Mary

Life be Lifeing!

Image
As the younger generation would say! 🙃 I definitely feel like I'm on a quest! A journey as some would call it! It definitely feels like another life change, dramatic life change. Because it feels like I'm in a sift and the wheat is being separated from the chaff per se.  In some aspects, some parts of my life are in a holding pattern. As if in mid-air! That just tells me that I'm being impatient while God's trying to work behind the scenes. At least that's what it's been in my life.  So I carry on with the things that I have absolute control over at this point. Keep moving forward. One step at a time.  My business is in a holding pattern and my next move is in a holding pattern so I wait!
