Bestofour, First communion is the first time a child receives Eucharist in their church. (Holy bread and wine). I remember my DD and her friends all dressed like little brides when they received it, white dresses, veils and all. My grands are being raised in my DH's religion so it is not followed there. My clothes dryer broke down, I have it tore apart to figure out the part(it is just a thermal fuse that blew). I can tell you that for all the guys in school who made fun of me for taking the 'Appliance Repair' course.....I can laugh at them now (I was one of the few that paid attention).

My church does communion differently but glad he took communion. Sunny, I could get my dryer apart but not sure I could get it back together correctly. Beautiful spring is happening here.

Enjoy your spring. It has started to melt here and the snow is going fast with all this rain.

Thanks for the explanation, Sunny. And yes that is it.
My mom passed away yesterday. Funeral is Tuesday. I am not well. I took a covid test, it was negative....my niece will bring a flu test over today.
I may or may not be back in for awhile. I will be back as I can.

Oh Junie, I'm sorry about your mother and that you're sick. I'm glad it's not CoVid. Colt has strep throat so maybe it's something as simple as that.
Sunny, nice and warm here. No humidity!!!!

Thank you both so very much for your kind words. I am about 98% better tonight. All I need to do now is stop this random cough. So no strep, thank goodness .
My DD is flying in from the East Coast on Sunday night and leaving on Wednesday. It sure will be nice to see her. I will get to see her on Tuesday for the funeral. I have no idea when my DD Valarie will be coming down.

Junie, I am glad you are getting to see your DD but sad that it is a death that brings her to you. It is still snowing off and on, just enough to make a mess.

I would need my lap top to copy paste it, and I am not at my house... But I will go on FB and see if I can find it.
Update: I looked and could find no obituary Did anyone else have any luck ??
2nd update:
Goodnight, sleep tight.

I had no luck, we might not have her 'true' name maybe???
Today is a clean and mop day. We had our late Easter supper at my mother's yesterday.

Sunny, I am thinking that too ( about Tina's name!) I looked on her FB page, and I tried on the internet in general. I even tried "Christina". I was going to try her maiden name but I could not remember it.
Good.morning.

Thanks for trying. My house is all cleaned and I even started raking the few bare spots from where the snow melted....with this weather, it will be all melted by the end of the week.

Goodnight...good morning...and such !
Today is my momma's funeral. I think my sister wants me to go back to MO or more aptly I think she wants to be alone at her house. This will not be easy for me but I may well just go back.
I have been up since like 3 am...

Today I am tackling the tops of my kitchen cupboards and all the 'items' that are displayed. I think a person could clean it every month and it would still be a 'gummy mess' to deal with. I should have built my cabinets to the ceiling.

Thank you both... I think not living close to mom as I used to helps my grief. My mind can think she is at "home" and alive and well. I brought home some things, and a few household items. When I use them, I will think of her.

Junie. When my grandmother died, I asked for her beaded necklace....it has no monetary value but she loved it and wore it on special occasions. I take it out and look at it and remember her fondly. It's the little things sometimes.

Yes, that is it with me..The things I brought home are for memories sake Nothing will be worth anything to be sold.
I also got a few pieces of jewelry for the girls. Alexandra also has a necklace.

So far today it has rained 1-1/2 inches. It is a soggy mess outside. And we may get more. The kids get out of school at noon today...so it will be fun picking them up.....not.
Good morning.

It's cold for me here today 49° but the sun is shining. I'm still at Ginger's. Really no reason to go home.
Gas here is still hovering around $4.00 a gallon. Hope it can stay that way.
