My normal has changed and it is pissing me off. {excuse my French} We hear so much about someones “New Normal” … are they joking?
A new normal can be anything from changing the brand of laundry detergent I use, to moving to another state. In this case it is fighting a disease and how it changes my every day life.
My Larry works every day to help me a create a normal that is workable for the both of us. The little {and big} things that he does are kind and thoughtful. I don’t think that I can ever thank him enough for what he has done these past months for me.
On Saturday, he took me grocery shopping. We bought just regular things and were surprised to see how people have become selfish with the threat of CONVID 19 virus. I say that…but wonder if perhaps I should have bought a bunch of Purell and Lysol? Well, I did not buy that stuff.
But…Larry bought me a new dress and a pair of gold earrings. What is it about a new dress and a pair of earrings that has the ability to make us feel pretty and special? I have not felt like that in 6 months.
Then, yesterday, on Sunday, we went on a picnic and to a concert. We had a picnic in front of the Winspear Opera House in Dallas, Texas, on a table that I covered with the autograph table cloth.
It was a lovely evening. We talked, laughed and planned for the future
Our good friends, Rosemary and David sent us Champagne this holiday. de Venoge. We drank their gift over the holidays and liked it so much, we try to keep a bottle on hand for picnics. Yesterday we drank a Rosemary and David Champagne. It was perfection.
We had time for dessert before the concert…
To be completely honest, I hated the picnic being over. I felt good! Larry looked so handsome and we had the best time. Being with Larry like that, fills me with love.
We went inside for the concert….oh yes. Harry Connick. It felt like a dream..wait! Maybe it was all the Champagne we drank?
Harry Connick sang Cole Porter. It was as if we were transported to a different time and place. Wait! Maybe it was all the Champagne we drank?
Of course I invited Mr Connick to picnic with us but he was busy with sound checks and things like that….besides,
Larry and I were just enjoying our moments…..and feeling normal.
Love you beyond a Champagne picnic.

My dear friend,
Can’t tell you how happy it makes me that you
Have enjoyed the champagne so much! Sometimes it feels very helpless not to be able to be with a friend when they are facing struggles. Somehow, your post makes me feel a little better about that. Keep up the good work…you’re an inspiration to those of us who face challenges of our own!!
Much love to you and Larry,
Rosemary and David (ntg)
