A quick Journal Entry. I had a busy day yesterday. I visited several “Garden Centers” buying plants for our Front Porch. I wanted to get the Porch ready before Mother’s Day. Seven plants are what I ended up purchasing for the Porch—seven plants from three different Garden Centers. I hurried home to get the Porch…

The ending of this day has been much better than the beginning. Momma had to run an errand with her sister. So, I went to pick up one of my Nieces while Papa went to pick up the other. Papa and I had agreed to meet in Gardendale to eat dinner with the girls.The place…

I finally drug myself out of my chair to drive to the gas station and fill my tank. When I arrived, I realized I was only in: Shorts, a white Tee Shirt, Suspenders, and Shoes.—No Socks.Unfortunately for me, my two Ostomy bags, hanging from my stomach, hang out and show under my white Tee Shirt.…
