Well, yesterday was my birthday ... the first one I actually celebrated since Marty's death. I always celebrate his, since his 'having lived' was such a VITAL, wonderful part of MY LIFE...
Anyhow, I decided this morning that yesterday's celebration was for my 70th birthday since I never celebrated it! So, it will suffice for me to say I just celebrated my 70th birthday, and now I'm in my "70's" .....
and that's prob where I'm 'gonna stay' ... no more bragging abt 'how old I am' anymore! I can even say, "I just celebrated my 70th birthday and it'll be the truth ... even tho it's a couple years late I did it! LOL....

Bye all ! Am going to be leaving for trip and be gone from Mar 7th til Mar 20th, hoping my 'little girl - dog' Angel is still alive when I return and has not succumbed to her kidney failure. It'll be so hard to lose her.... she was Marty's and my 'baby'.... only dog we had picked out together as a newly weaned pup and brought home, and on way home he named her.
anyhow, not taking my laptop with me... Hope EVBO be ok while I'm gone. I don't 'hound' this site sev times a day like I did for a few years ... during Marty's battle and the first year or more after.... Hvr, my heart is still with you people and check in frequently. Hugs. Lois
