Wayne, High Tea, A Yolk, Oak, Hickory Pignuts and Snow

 Oh crap, its cold!

On Saturday the 4th, I was

totally shocked.

Julie (venue) contacted me

to let me know her

brother Wayne passed away.

Unlike his sister, Wayne

was quite but he was always

at the get togethers and I 

did a photo shoot with him 

and his Camero. 

Wayne was 55.

He had attended a dinner at

Vic and Mitzi house for 

New Years Night. Went home

cause he was to be at 

work the next morning.

In a roundabout way, Julie

and Wayne's cousin got word that

Wayne had not been to work 

in two days. So, Lisa tried texting

and calling, with no answer. Lisa

grabbed their friend Jerry to ride

over to the house with her

where they found Wayne. He

apparently passed in his sleep

at some point after he went 

home. Alone, he laid there

for two days.

My heart is broken for 

Julie and Lisa. 

There was no stress on 

his face, he looked so 

peaceful is what Lisa told 

me. Julie and Lisa had

a grandma that passed with

an Aneurysm, so they

figure that is the way 

Wayne went.

HUGS to all.

Every January, Liz from the

group I am a part of, 

The K Crew, has a High 

Tea at her house for the group.

We were scheduled to 

meet on the 4th but Kevin

and Dana had to be out of town

for a death. The day

was changed to the 11th.

I just hope for the snow that

we are being told we

will get on the 10th does

not mess this up. But if it

snows, I am not driving 1.3 hours

in the snow. 

Liz also wants us all in 

our finest for a pic.

She wanted to do a 

Downton Abby theme but

not everyone wanted to do

it. I however plan on still

dressing Downton Abby and 

being decked out, if I get to 

go. 

Lightening the mood...

To me, an Oak is an Oak...

until I realized there were so 

many different types.

I have a app on my phone

that tells me what a plant is.

I realized I had a couple different

oaks back in the spring. Having them

in my mini forest is good, they are 

such strong trees that I hopes

I don't have to worry about 

winds or storms taking

any down. 

I also learned that I had

Hickory Pignut trees.

Kept seeing these nuts on the 

ground and knew they were

not pecans so I looked them 

up. They are Hickory Pignuts.

That was a new one on me.

Today, I am going out into the 

yard, grab up some pignuts

some sticks and limbs and store

them on the porch....

I might need them for making

a snow person! lol

Conversation with Amber last

night went like this...

ME: I need to gather up my 

snow person stuff if it snows.

AMBER: I need to make sure I 

have all the groceries I need.

It's a matter of where your

priority lies!

As the girls go, they 

have food, we are covered!

haha

 Have you been hit with

the any snow yet?
