She passed peacefully

My “step grandmother” passed peacefully. Unfortunately, no one bothered to tell us she did. So we were unable to attend any of the viewings she had scheduled. My aunt wasn’t even told she passed. She is in the mountains of North Carolina so she would have had to have known alot sooner than I. But she’s now up there with my grandpa, who if you recall (or if I even posted about it) unfortunately committed…

Sunday Afternoon

Originally posted 2021-03-22 17:33:25. Yesterday we went out to find my nephew’s birthday present. We met up with my daughter who also brought my grandbaby. We got there and we needed to use the bathroom. Since it was several of us we took turns. For some reason this bathroom had a limited amount of stalls. You would have thought they would have had more than that but maybe it is a covid-19 thing. The men’s…
