The past two days I have spent sitting at the computer ALOT! I've been trying to get all of my paperwork caught up in preparation for doing our taxes. Yippeeee!!!
I've also been doing a fun thing. My dad is a WWII veteran. He was one of the Marines that landed at the first invasion of Iwo Jima. He has dementia, now, but before he started getting really bad, one of his neighbors used to get him talking about his experiences in the war, and would write as my dad talked. A while back, my step-mother asked if I could type these memoirs for her. It's been very interesting learning about my dad's time in the Pacific Theatre. My dad has always been very hesitant to talk to us kids about it, because he gets so emotional, but he didn't have any problem talking to another man his age.
Well, I've got to get going. Have a lovely evening, Folks!!!

How wonderful that all of your dad's recollections were written down! Now that both of my parents are gone, I wish we had done something like that so that we would have all of their childhood and life memories to cherish. We still have alot, though, for which I am thankful. I have a book that I purchased at last year's ladies retreat and it is a book in which I can write all of my memories for Daniel and I am doing it gradually. Again, I am so thankful you are doing better
