Up for devo and straightening. I went with Mert to Texas Thrift and shopped for 50% off. We walked the park and visited with those around. After the bug guy came and sprayed, we went to Walmart and shopped. Kathy and Bill came over for hamburgers and visiting the rest of the night. I had saved a couple of lights for the bottom of a glass when Kathy and I ate Chinese in McAllen and surprised her with them. Life is sweet.

Why, you ask, do I write this status?
One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.
We have so much!
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind to each other - love one another - support everyone.
We are all one! ❤️
