I finally found my blog by accident.  It has been a long time since I posted.  A lot has happened.  To catch up, my dad died Aug. 5, 2017.  Bill was in the hospital on January 1, 2019.  Somehow, I developed cellulitis in my left foot, and was almost ceptic when I went to the hospital a couple of days after hubby came home. I was in the hospital in my city and he went to the university hospital about 80 miles away. After we both got home, I was able to walk after 3 months, and drive the car. He had a TAVR in April and did well.  At his week check up, the doctors said it was working perfectly. During those few weeks, I was able to take him for rides.  We would drive to our river park, the historic section of town then home.  He enjoyed our nightly rides.  About a couple of weeks after, he fell while I had taken my daughter to the store.  He would not go get checked out, and he had been through so much, I didn't have the heart to force him.  He began having difficulty breathing. On May 29, 2019, he died in the bathroom.  It was the most devasting day of my life.  I miss him so much.  His funeral was June 1, 2019, and my oldest daughter encouraged me to go to Myrtle Beach to stay with her. The first year, I had periods of deep depression. I panicked when I knew I was going to be alone.  It took a year to finally say his name without breaking down.  I have been able to listen to our CD.  Hearing his voice comforts me. I always enjoyed hearing him sing. I finally can enjoy Myrtle Beach, and Covid-19 occurred.  I spent all summer in quaranteen.  I went to a beach house with my son for a couple of months.  I enjoyed an ocean view.  Two of my great-granddaughters stayed a couple of weeks.  I went to the beach with them in April.  I enjoyed my time at the ocean.  On May 30, I came back to my daughter's house and began making masks.  I made 127 of them.
I have began playing piano at our church. The regular player had to take a medical leave.  I feel as if I am in my element, but I won't mind when the regular player returns.  I have been told it will be quite a while.  So I think I have a few months of helping out.  I am currently sewing aprons for Christmas presents.  So I will be filling my days with sewing, and I listen to You Tube to learn Jazz rifts and styles.  With visits from my great grandchildren, sewing, practicing music, my days will be full.  For that I am grateful.
