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 stand.  It looks pretty awesome.  As I go through stuff, I may end up changing it around.  But, I love it right now. 

I hope it's beautiful there.

Dear Ted #45 - Independence Day

Today is the Fourth of July.  You aren't here.  It's kind of a weird one.  No public or big fireworks shows.  No parades.  Just a low key, don't get in big crowds kind of event. We had dinner at Crystal and Brandon's.  Didn't barbecue, had pasta with alfredo, salad, watermelon, garlic bread.  It was a tasty, very different, holiday meal. Then we made smores for dessert.   The kids played in the pool.  And did some snakes and smoke bombs.  It was a good day.   When KayeLynn and I got home, we just kind of watched TV.  Then the fireworks started.  The private, big package fireworks.  I had to go out and sit for a little bit.  I had to watch.  Too many memories flooded about how much you loved fireworks.  I just had to go out and watch for a while.  It was kinda a sucky show, but there were a few good ones.  It was nice and warm outside.   I've kinda been pretty blue the last few days. ...

Dear Ted #19

Hello my love.  It's been a few days.  Not that I'm not always thinking about you, I just don't have a lot to tell you from day to day.  It's been pretty normal.  Just working and coming home and trying to accomplish something.  Generally, I don't.  I had specific plans during my days off and I don't think I accomplished but a couple.  Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming and dishes.  I didn't get your shoes gathered up.  I didn't get the bathroom countertop finished.  I didn't get most things done. I heard from Discover Card finally.  I think that is everything.  I'm not 100% sure they aren't going to go after something, but I really doubt you have hidden assets, so I don't know that there is anything to worry about.  But, you know me.  I always will worry. I went to HOA last night.  For some reason, that was giving me anxiety.  I made it through.  I got the proxies out.  They have someone to replace ...

Dear Ted - #56 - Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday my love!!  I hope you had a wonderful, heavenly birthday.  Doing whatever you wanted to do.   I made it through today ok.  I lazed in bed, not wanting to get out and face the day, for quite some time.  Then I got up.  By the afternoon, I was kind of in a groove.  But, when it came to the evening, I had a really hard time facing being by myself - staying in quarantine.  I was already out.  KayeLynn has to do all the shopping, because I'm not supposed to leave the house.  She was kind of wiped out when it was done, so she asked if I would make your cake.  So - I made the cake and then later made the biscuits and put dinner together.   You see, we had a full on, virtual type dinner.  All in your honor.  Susan thought of it and put it together.  It was all based on a dream she had with you in it.  She dreamt that we had been to visit and we left a box there.  The box was full of Red...
