<p>And so a year has come and gone since Bill died. I can't believe how fast it's been, in spite of some days feeling like they lasted a year.</p>
<p>Things needing to be done....paperwork to be signed, trip to the health department for death certificate, turning in the tag and cancelling insurance on Bill's truck, picking up his ashes and sending some to family and friends to be scattered, scattering some here and "Bill's Big Bang" send off.</p>
<p>Unexpected problems....the well going down, the loss of D*O*G just three months after Bill and my jeep breaking down once again.</p>
<p>And all the "firsts" without Bill....Thanksgiving, his birthday, Christmas,New Years,Valentine's Day, our anniversary, Easter, my birthday, Fourth of July and Halloween.</p>
<p>I'm so proud of the dogs. They have adjusted very well to being left alone without Mommy or Daddy being here for hours at a time. After getting Dixie, Bill would not hear of leaving them home alone for even an hour. I knew they would work it out and be okay, but he wasn't buying it.</p>
<p>On a bright note, I cherish the love and support that I've received from my "ATP family". It gets lonely here in the woods off the beaten path, but I know friends are just a mouse click away. Meeting purpleinopp recently was a definate high point and I look foreward to many more happy visits.</p>
<p>And so the original journey is over as is the first year journey, and I look foreward to the new journey as I embark on it. Things/yard may look bleak right now with most plants in the greenhouse, but I know that come spring things will come alive and bloom again. And once more I want to thank my ATP family for traveling this road with me. I luv all ya'll.</p>
