Love Note
11/11/19 My Dearest Love:
You are my downtime. You are what I do on my downtime. You fill the empty hours of my downtime with your love, with your soft singing of old love songs that only you and I remember the words to. My memories of you fill my downtime with long walk through city streets and parks, along the river parkway where we cooled our feet in the running water of the Sacramento. I remember our downtime on summer evening driving on country roads feeling the warm breeze blowing over our bodies, smelling the crops growing in the fields. With you in my heart downtime seems so much shorter, yet for us it has lasted a lifetime. I hold you here in my heart during these long downtimes. I dream of holding you in my arms on these cool nights - using the brightness of your smile to help me find my way home. We cuddled up on the couch and watch football all day Sunday. What a great way to spend our downtime cuddling up with you - no matter what time of day, no matter what time of year. I guess downtime is not that bad when you're with the one you love. I love you.
I'll Love You Forever
Always & Forever
Your Steve

My dearest love (my only love)
Still sickly - haven’t gone hardly anywhere...well, I did get to go and have a colonoscopy - Skye got to drive me! He told me all is well - don’t have to see him (for that) for another 10 years! At least I was sedated - so I didn’t feel anything! He did say I have minor diverticulosis - but didn’t seem worried about it. Said to start taking Benefiber so I guess my diet doesn’t provide enough. Oh well - just one more thing to mix up in the morning.
Hmmm - it’s 11 PM on Friday the 13th - I can hear the thunder now (been raining most of the day) so I’m going to send this now before the internet goes out. I’ll write more either tomorrow or Sunday so it will go out this Monday

I love you so very much
Your Jeannie

Hello my love
It’s Sunday evening - sky has been clear most of the day - but relatively cold. I made it to church today - had to leave my sweater in the car - they always have the heat on in the building - probably wouldn’t be so bad, but the people add extra heat. I’m not the only one who feels it - the lady who sits in front of me is usually fanning herself too :)
I was right the other night - internet went down right after I saved the first half of this message. By the time it came back up I was sleeping- it seems like it takes forever!
I’m sorry you didn’t get your birthday card in time for your birthday - I’ll probably mail it tomorrow or Tuesday - hopefully you’ll get it before Christmas!
I love you - gonna go to bed and pretend you’re there to snuggle with....hope you’re feeling well
Always your Jeannie
