Update (up and down)


This is the weekend I go back home for my 50th Class Reunion. Our family reunion was canceled due to hairycaine damage
I have created this time capsule to be put beneath the headstone in wet concrete, which very well may contain some or all of His remaining ashes mixed in.


This is the underside



That is me on the right, dancing with my then Girlfriends head on my shoulder.
I will have not seen ANY of these folks face to face since 1974

↑That is me playing piano in the Lunchroom in 1970... I scratched my name and the date on the back of the piano on the soundboard


All the banking is done in regards to my brothers estate... each of the heirs (my brothers and sisters and one nephew) got just under $6 thousand USD. Not really that much considering the inflation these days.
I will most likely use a lot of my share to finish my patio.

At least I can finally move forward with my own life and agendas.
I have big plans for my veggie garden

All those reddish tipped plants to the right, are crepe myrtle trying to sprout from the roots of the big tree I cut about 8 months ago.
They have been sprayed several times with roundup, when I get back from this trip they will be cut off at ground level.
Then I'm putting landscaping fabric over the top and adding 3-4 inches of topsoil.
THEN I can amend the results with compost etc, and plant winter veggies.
I've already gotten some cabbage plants,

and seeds for beets and mustard greens

That is a lot of work to get too, so I will be happy when this weekend is over, and I am safely back home with my kitties.

World Mental Health Day (Oct 10)

October 10 is World Mental Health Day, and this year, 2024, the theme is "Mental Health at Work." The World Health Organization emphasizes the important connection between mental health and work. Creating safe and healthy work environments can protect mental health, while unhealthy conditions like stigma, discrimination, and poor working conditions can pose significant risks. Urgent action is needed to ensure that work promotes mental health and supports workers' well-being.

Collaboration at all levels is necessary to improve mental health at work. By investing in evidence-based approaches, we can create thriving work environments for everyone. Let's take action today for a healthier future. #WorldMentalHealthDay


I want to share something I've been excited about lately. It's called LiveGood, and it's all about helping people improve their health, save on daily products, and even create an additional income stream if they're interested.

If you're curious, here is a quick short video that explains it. The best part is that they accept Crypto as a payment option!

I sent you a little gift of ecency points @scribblingramma
