Thank you sistahs. Again appreciate the many kind thoughts sent. Lord is good, Oline isn't suffering much.

Last night Kel's lap was such a comfort! Thank God he's not made puny for this heavy duty gal!

Got to share a little titbit with my sistahs.
Oline had 3 kids, two boys, youngest girl. Second son died of cancer.
She had plenty grandchildren that can step in to help her if needed. But only one grandson who's a bit slow did so willingly, helped by his wife, who has Downe Syndrom.
Of course Jude and Jackie never 'fit' with some family, but they're my favorites.
Last night I was told that Oline had made a living will before she got her first stroke that Jude and Jackie are made co heirs along with her daughter (Jude's mother). Even though Sharon balked at helping her mother, eventually she'd do as asked.
Oline had disowned her son who robbed her blind, and the other grandchildren who won't take their time just for a call. Of course they're now crying foul.. especially Randy (the dead son) ex wife saying his kids deserve a share. What's tragic, is she's not even buried yet and the fight over property starts. Randy's wife made a big error when she didn't invite Oline and the rest of the Blanchards and Leblancs to her second marriage. She has cut off all ties with Randy's family till now. We don't hear about the kids, only from FB :(

That's my 'family' gossip for now. Time to burn the funeral clothes!

It was 25 last night! Today it's a warm 70! Love your blooms sis. My plum blossoms bloomed on one side of the tree. The other was damaged by strong winds! Then I have Star Magnolias blooming too.
Somehow I sensed Barb's anguish and took these pictures this morning! Daffies for you Barb!
Lola thinking it's all about her!!
LK, the cat in the second pic is the latest kitty rescue "Garcon", he was puny weeks ago. A major growth spurt!
