“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

[Nerja]

Dear everyone,
Once again, I am very thankful for all the endless love everyone has given here. Although we have never met in person, it warm my heart that everyone’s love is a wonderful gift

I thank you, everyone, from the bottom of my heart.
My DH has passed away last week suddenly during his sleep due to "the complication of Covid." We are still waiting for the autopsy result so the real cause of his death now isn't clear. According to his Medical record, he had a healthy clean record.
He had contracted to Covid via his employees who had their ThanksGiving together with three different families. They were the Covid's source, but we did not know until a week later...
Our family also got Covid but we had a very mild cough ( my youngest) a light headache (my second son and I) my daughter is shown no illness at all but also positive). Thank God we are recovering and have quarantine ourselves until tomorrow. We are passing the 10 days period since we had symptoms and our Dr just confirmed that we are all clear. My DH funeral date is set for next week.
I believed that His spirit is still around me. Everytime I call him or miss him he had his way to answered me. Many stories to shares but later.
I wish everyone to have a beautiful Christmas Eve.

dear @tlamdang08 i just saw this very sad news. My deepest condolences to you and your children.

My newest bad habit. A large bowl of popcorn at night. But it is a perfect use for Passifolia.

I just picked up some popcorn too.

I bought the kernels as opposed to the microwave type, because all of the brands use palm oil. I refuse to knowingly buy stuff that uses palm oil due to the devastating environmental effects from its farming.

Going to make some for the hockey game tonight. Cast iron pan, canola oil, butter and salt. I don’t think I’ll ever own an Hermès bowl unless they start making unbreakable China.

Thank you very much @Nerja
We are doing better than last week and still refining the new chapter of our life.
I learn how to invest with a long time friend also as a guardian of my husband when he was a college student.
I am glad that my husband has friend like him.
My relatives also helping us too.
I made a new plan for our life yesterday and when I sat down in front of my husband altar, I saw the candlewick was in a shape of a flower.
I googled the meaning of that flower and it happens to be happy. I think my husband was proud of me and happy to see me grow up finally.

We are enjoying breakfast coffee before I have to make a few calls with the banks and some insurance agents today.

I've recently picked up a popcorn habit as well. Eating out of a 50-year-old stainless steel Farberware mixing bowl doesn't have quite the same charm. You are really selling me on Passifolia with your posts here.

I was also using a mixing bowl until I reorganized my kitchen. It occurred to me that I need to use these things as much as possible. Keeping them in the back of the cabinet doesn’t make sense.

At my age, I use everything. But I don’t have teenagers. I do think that sports can be risky due to the enthusiasm factor.....except for my favorite: figure skating. It’s terribly exciting to me, but.....

Well,my youngest is 27, but DH is not always careful. My cat is also known for knocking items on the ground when she wants attention. So expensive china is not a particularly wise investment.

Afternoon snack
(I forgot that I made Apple pie)
A week-old apple pie but taste just like fresh

 

[diane278]

I was craving potato wedges and decided to make some. They were good...

@tlamdang08 Oh my dear, I am just now learning about your husband’s passing and I am so so very sorry. Such a sad senseless tragedy. Please accept my sincere condolences during this trying time.

Oh my dear I didn’t realize what has happened to you until seeing this post. We were on vacation during the holidays and I skipped lots of posts. When I read this just now my heart sank and I thought I must misread something so I went back to read all the skipped posts. I was in tears reading everything. I couldn’t imagine what you’ve gone through but I’m so happy to see you stay strong and positive and surrounded by love. Please know that we are all here for you.
