    • About Me

      I am a academic librarian. I have three grown children and two grandchildren. I lost my husband of 31 years, 10 months, and 9 days to pancreatic cancer. We had ten very short weeks together after we found out about the cancer. He lost almost 70 lbs.

      Vickie;
      Being productive and seeing your work outside, does give one a sense of accomplishment. It makes a nice tribute as well. Plus when you are tired from the work, it helps you sleep better.

      Vickie,
      Well I never was one that loved tending landscaping, but I did so for Sheri. Now I feel that I must keep myself busy, and do all the landscaping that she wanted this year. Sadly it will look the best it has ever this year, and I do not have her here to share it with me. I know that she can see it though.
