Dear Ted #17

Well, my love, the year 2019 is in the books.

I would say that with the exception of the last six or seven weeks, that 2019 was actually a great year.  We had a couple of fun trips.  Things were really, actually, wonderful.  Then November 14 came and took you away from me.

Well, I made a goal of getting those last few movies in that we wanted to see.  I made it to Knives Out, Jumanji and finally Star Wars.  I felt like I really accomplished something by first walking into a movie theater and second seeing the movies that we had planned on seeing - and doing it by the end of the year.  I managed to hack your movie club, so that was helpful for Star Wars.  😄

Then, yesterday, we kept with tradition and went to the dollar theater.  Rodger was working and Rustie was not feeling well, so KayeLynn and I went and got the two older girls and met with Crystal, Brandon, Zach and Chelsea.  All of us went and saw Playing With Fire and then all the ladies went to see Addams Family and the boys went to Zombieland.  I'm sure you would have been with the boys on that one.  Zach has grown into such a movie lover and likes to see the more grown up movies now.  He would have been a great movie partner for you when you wanted to see some of the movies that I didn't want to see.

Well, I'm hoping to make it through 2020.  It's going to be hard without you here.  So many decisions to be  made and so much to do.

I love those times that I know you are around.  Those times that I just completely feel you.  I miss you so very much.

I hope you're happy where you are.

Dear Ted - #71

Holy hell. It's almost been a year since I wrote to you. Ten months, actually!! WOW Just thought I would catch you up on a few things. February I took Harper to Disneyland. We had a great time. I love that kid. That was the last time I traveled. Crazy, I know. April, I had gastric bypass surgery. I decided the rest of my life should be as healthy as possible. However, I've been pretty weak since having it. I actually did ok until I had Covid in June. That nearly killed me. Not really, but I got so weak I couldn't walk for twenty feet without thinking I needed to sit down and relax. I'm still dealing with that. Rustie had her gallbladder out on Friday. On Monday, I will be picking up the three girls. They will be staying with me until Saturday. Then I'll be taking them to Russ and Nancy's - I think. On Saturday, KayeLynn and I are heading to Grand Junction. Randi and Iri moved to Delta, Colorado back in May. So, we are going to go see them...

Dear Ted #24

So I've decided to give a new name to a certain day of the week.  I will now be calling it Productive Tuesdays.  I'm giving myself a goal to accomplish on that day and doing everything I can to meet that goal.  This Tuesday, I worked on our bathroom and our bedroom.  I finished up most of the painting, there is the other side of the beam that I still need to do, but it doesn't show - so I'm not too worried.  😂😂  Went through your nightstand drawers.  A lot of the stuff in there made me smile.   I also started painting our closet.   I'm doing the same colors as the bathroom.  I made a nice little shrine to you on your nightstand.  Got a picture of you in front of the flags from when we were at the Missouri.  I have your NSA mug with a bunch of little tools in it.  Your Jeeps.  Your Marine beanie and your Get Smart beanie.  One of your floppy hats. Your one Marine hat is hanging above the night stan...

Dear Ted - #70 - Two years

Well, it's been two years. I can't even believe it. I worked all day and kept my mind off things. Since being home, it's not as easy. I love you more than you'll ever know.
