{Cashmere Words of Wisdom & Update}

It is now over one month, since my Mom went to heaven and I want to THANK all of you for your sweet comments, emails and any support that we have received. It feels good for having such an extended network of friends that do care and are there for one another during times of trial.
YES, I am doing fine! Photo from February 8, when we went for a walk around the neighborhood.

When I did see this Cashmere knit top on sale at Last Call by Neiman Marcus, I had to have it...
Waiting long enough, it went down from $ 298.00 to $ 89.50!
Love its Words of Wisdom; like Life's Complete Poetry!
Aside from that, this very Cashmere top I will treasure forever, as I wore this during the last FaceTime call with Mom; 2-½ days before her death. 
Here I am wearing it on my black Escada jeans from the Last Call Neiman Marcus Outlet in Orlando, Florida and with my sleeveless black cashmere mock neck underneath for added warmth.
Suede boots are also from Last Call.
Yes, I have lost weight, all the way down to 50.9 kg (112 lbs) I went back up to 51.7 kg (113.7 lbs) on January 21 and now I'm around 52 kg (114.4 lbs) and feeling great; which is important!
Mainly I have been worrying about his guy... Husband Pieter had heart cramps or Angina Pectoris.
Guess it was from all the stress and emotions from the last couple of months.
On February 17, Pieter got all the results from his Cardiologist from the Electrocardiogram, Nuclear stress test and Echo and he does not need surgery. On March 10, he is seeing his Heart Surgeon. We were so happy! 
It is only 4-½ years ago since Pieter had his quadruple bypass + stent placed in his neck—and these heart cramps did scare us.
Ironically, his previous appointment with his Heart Surgeon on January 27, got cancelled... that was the day Mom went to heaven!
I want to keep this guy next to me for many more years; God willing!
Continuing our Blissful Relationship...
On the day that my youngest brother did FaceTime, while he was visiting Mom in the hospital, I did walk outside with my iPad, so husband Pieter too could see Mom and talk with her. 
It was when Pieter almost had finished the 57 m (187 ft) long Wood Trail from the greenhouse up near the house.
Huge tree roots had lifted it up, so Pieter did take it up entirely, put new wood beams underneath and took all rusted nails out and drilled in life-time warranty screws. 
He also put side boards alongside, for keeping the soil from getting washed by rain onto the trail. 
Pieter did treat it with a wood preservative.
Here I proudly stand on the finished Wood Trail on January 28, the day after Mom went to heaven, together with Speckie–girl).
Just iPhone pictures but you get an idea...

  2. Hello Mariette, I am happy that things are starting to look up for you and Pieter. Your house and yard projects are always amazing--the quality, such as that walkway with board edgings, is so high that it looks like something you would see in a park, not necessarily at a private home.

      All his life, Pieter has been a very hard worker and all he does is TOP.We do hope that it will all hold up for the duration of our lives...
      Our health we treasure most and our diet is one thing we can do about it. For the rest we have to avoid all things negative and enjoy our friends and close relatives instead.
      Sending you blessings for March,

  7. Dearest Mariette, I am sorry about your Mom, I wasn't active in the blogosphere those days and I probably missed your post. Our grandma passed away in December and we too we're mourning.

    The cashmere looks very nice and has meaningful words.
    I also hope that health continue to boost nicely with you and your husband.

  8. Ja zo'n klussende man is erg handig en ben er wel een beetje jaloers op. Hij heeft een mooi pad gemaakt om met droge voeten door het bos te lopen. Allebei met een stok, maar je bent in ieder geval nog mobiel, jullie zien er goed uit. Dat gewicht heb ik alleen als kind gehad....:)

    1. Beste Marianne,
      Ja dat pad is ooit aangelegd over slootjes om onze tuin te ontwateren maar de slootjes zijn al jaren overbodig. Ja, Pieter gebruikt graag zijn wandelstok, die hadden we voor onze hikes in de bergen van Tennessee. Ik hield de zijne alleen vast toen hij de foto maakte.
      Ja, het is zo ongeveer mijn gewicht sinds ik 15 ben... met wat schommelingen. Maar het is weer stabiel en ik voel me top fit.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

  9. Hi Mariette, your cashmere knit top looks very comfy and beautiful with all the lovely words. How special it was what you were wearing during last call with your mom.

  11. Lieve Mariette,

    De kreten je bent wat je eet.je bent wat je drinkt etc. die gaan vast ook op voor, je bent wat je draagt....:-)

    Nou ben ik persoonlijk niet het type mens om dergelijke teksten of boodschappen op kleding te dragen,ik denk altijd maar zo, wat zou de wereld er een stuk beter uit zien wanneer iedereen(incl.mijn persoontje) al die kreten en\of wijze woorden nou eens in de praktijk ging brengen en het niet enkel bij woorden zou laten.....

    Alles is buitenkant wat dat betreft,ik zie liever het innerlijke van de medemens.


    Weet niet of het bij jullie ook zo'n rage is dat je op elke hoek van de straat,op serviesgoed,glaswerk,op muren in het interieur etc.etc. kreten en teksten tegen komt met een positieve uitstraling of uitspraak die je aan het denken zet.....

    Ach waar maak ik me eigenlijk druk om....
    om er dan nog maar een kreet tegenaan te gooien: alles in het leven is maar tijdelijk,zelfs het leven,dus geniet er van!!

    Fijne zondag en lieve groet,Ger

    1. Lieve Ger,
      Deze teksten zijn zeker geen kreten maar het zijn gewoon eeuwen oude waarheden die nog altijd gelden! Ik weet eigenlijk niet goed hoe ik die eerste regel van je comment moet plaatsen.
      Gelukkig zien wij een dergelijke rage van teksten op hoeken van straten etc. hier zeker niet in het conservatieve zuiden.
      Liefs,

  13. Jullie zien er inderdaad goed uit, en je moet niet dunner worden hoor....en snap wel dat jullie je zorgen maken om Pieter, hopelijk is het allemaal niets ergs...krakende karren rijden het langst...toch? hij wordt in de gaten gehouden neem ik aan..
    Die Cashmire trui staat je heel mooi...jij weet altijd wel de leuke dingen er uit te pikken...

    1. Beste Marian,
      Néé ik wil zeker niet dunner worden maar ik ben nu eenmaal nooit stevig geweest en zal ik ook nooit worden. Maar zorgen zijn vaak de reden tot gewichtsverlies. Jazeker wordt hij in de gaten gehouden en zoals ik al schreef, op 10 maart naar de hart chirurg weer. We doen ons best!
      Ja, zo'n lieve zachte knuffel in cashmere was wel niet zó'n koopje en wat voor schat om te dragen. Ook de woorden van wijsheid zijn erg goed gekozen.

    2. Januar und Februar sind weniger schöne Monate, da geht es vielen Menschen nicht so gut. Meine Mutti freut sich jetzt auch wieder über die Sonnenstrahlen und daß sie wieder mehr hinaus kann. Im Winter wird es ja so früh dunkel. Das ist alles nicht mehr so toll für ältere Menschen. Ab Frühjahr lebt meine Mutti immer auf - sie ist auch ein Bewegungsmensch und braucht das Sonnenlicht.

      Alles Liebe nochmals

  22. I think of your dear Mother frequently, usually when I think about the passing of my own Mme Mère in 2013. I think they would have been great friends I am a bit concerned about your weight loss, but you look lovely, as usual.

      It is just a coincidence that we lost both our Mme Mère so close together and who knows they are friends now?! Don't worry about my weight loss, I'm back at 52 kg and that way my size 34 fits perfect. No matter what, I never will grow into a big person and that's fine! Maybe that's why they always think I'm French when we visit Atlanta... Funny how looks reveal a French Connection. À propos, that's the title of my next post!
      Yes, Mom is watching over me together with my angel sister; that is a very soothing feeling.

  34. Jetzt bin ich hier noch einmal hergekommen, liebe Mariette. Ach, das ist manchmal schon ein Drama mit den Krankenhäusern! Da hast Du ja was mitgemacht! Es ist doch gut, wenn man liebe Menschen um sich hat. Was jetzt in den Krankenhäusern passiert war, auch in den Altenheimen bei uns, dass Menschen einsam und ohne Angehörigen sterben mußten, weil sie keinen Besuch haben durfte, finde ich ganz schlimm! Hoffentlich brauchen wir so etwas nicht erleben!

Es war das letzte Mal das meine Mutter mich gesehen hat. Sie hatte das iPhone so gestreichelt sagte der Jan... ja mein Gesicht dachte sie.
      Es ist schon über zwei Monate eine wahre Hölle für soviel sterbenden! Um alleine und einsam sterben zu müßen ist schlimm.

    2. Das ist wirklich wahr, liebe Mariette! Habe gerade bei Traude/Rostrose gelesen, was man mit den alten Menschen macht, ist unvorstellbar!

      https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2020/06/wieder-begegnungen-im-mai.html

      Die Menschen sind jetzt so unvorstellbar vielen Repressalien ausgesetzt! In was für einer Welt leben wir jetzt bloß? Mein Kommentar dort ist noch nicht freigeschaltet, aber ich fand zu dem Thema noch ein Video und auch das, was unsere Regierung zu der Pandemie sagt, dass diese erst beendet sei, wenn ein Impfstoff gefunden wäre. Es ist wirklich unglaublich, was man den Menschen hier verkauft!

      Wie Du es auch schon einmal geschrieben hast, hoffentlich bekommen die, die so etwas veranlassen, ihre gerechte Strafe am Ende!

      Alles Liebe, auch an Deinen Pieter!
