RoyalBlue,

 

So sorry for your loss.  If there is any solace in this it would be that for your parents to go before you is the natural order of things and if they lived long they did well. Angel

Prayers for healing.

After this past January, I'm happy to see February arrive.  On January 14, just 5 days after my birthday, my father passed away from the return of his pancreatic cancer.

 

I've been really not online much, due to working on the paperwork and everything with my mom (my parents live about 40 minutes from me, so I would just drive there each morning and go home after dinner).

 

I never thought anything could be this painful, and it was horrible to see him deteriorate.  But he isn't suffering anymore.

 

It's taking time, but we're working everything out.  Glad to be back on here, helping to keep my mind off things.

Buckeye,

 

I sent an e-mail titled Friday to John and Ryan this morning and John reminded me it is Thursday. I reminded him that not knowing the day of the week is a sign of a successful retirement!  Now you know where to set the bar!  Laugh

Happy Birthday RT!   CakeHappy B-Day

Morning all. No real plans for today. I have a few 810's series Prewar train cars coming in today, A 810 crane and a couple of 812 gondola's to go with it. but man these 810 series are not cheap lol. Probably because they look so much better than like the 650's series as there almost twice the size of the 650's series one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RT

I see the Chief was asleep in his easy chair last night.

35 this morning, going down through the day to 11 overnight. Most of the snow is gone but we have a new batch ordered for the weekend.

Tax time is coming again. I have ours done, what would take me all afternoon he does in 30 minutes.

Hello there,

Tried to start a new pot but Fife and I must've been typing at the same time. Not sure what the day might bring but best move on.

 

Prayers for those in need

Fife, you and Banks better flip a coin to see what pot we use this month! Laugh

Nice out but temps will fall all day down to 4 overnight for the low.

Pension payday so it is off to town for supplies. Wink
