Memories...

Laurie, our Social Media Manager, has asked me for an update on how I am doing since Jim has gone. Considering all things, I’m doing pretty well. The adjustment to losing someone seemingly bigger than life is huge. Even Roo and Ladybug have had to change their daily expectations. Luckily, I like to be busy and with all that’s left to clean up of the remains of the business outside and on paper, I can find many opportunities for staying active. Sometimes too active, lol. Simply maintaining the property and keeping up with repairs is a full time job. Initially, it seemed as though everything was breaking or blowing up, two or three times a week. We finally got the problems solved after a couple of months and it’s been calmer. The kids have all stepped up to help however they can. Bit by bit we’re getting things simplified and cleaned up. The summer heat slowed our work but with cooler temperatures before long, we’ll be able to accomplish a lot more faster. The flowerbeds have suffered with the heat but just this week, I’m seeing fresh blooms on the Henry and Augusta Duelberg salvia, Turk’s cap, Rock Rose, honeysuckle and Autumn clematis. I’m even getting tomatoes off most of the plants! Chickens are laying well but i only get eggs when I can beat the snakes to the nest!

Life is very different without Jim. Thank God I have all the memories of our life together to look back on. It was quite a ride!!!! I intend to stay busy and revert the property back to the pasture it was before we built the greenhouses. That was the plan Jim and I talked about once we’d closed the business.

I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting our business, for your prayers as Jim battled cancer and for your continued kind words and thoughts. We couldn’t have had such a beautiful nursery and all the memories without your help!”

What have you guys been up to?
Me? I have been enjoying my retirement and still trying to keep these squirrels in line! I sure miss seeing you all.

“Update on my Dad... Sorry we haven't posted on social media in awhile as some things we have been dealing with privately as some progression has happened over last few months with cancer.

Dad chose to try the targeted gene therapy over the recent months unfortunately results Thursday showed that it wasn't working he was just getting the extreme fatigue side effects from it.

We have chosen to do the hospice route just so he can be more comfortable and it will help Trish at home without having to worry about trying to get him into a car and put him in more pain to get back and forth to the doctors.

Does this mean that he is at the end, as the oncologist said Only God knows that!

This is more about comfort and letting him enjoy his family. So please understand us not giving all details right now . I do know for a fact that nobody unless they were Jim Stegall the strong-willed and stubborn hard-headed man would still be here almost 2 years after his symptoms first arrived.
Please continue to keep him and Trish in your prayers.”
With much love,
Tonya Stegall-Conner

So Tonya is doing a little thingy for her dad for a late birthday present for his birthday party she wants to give him and she want to include any comments or stories that anybody has of him or their thoughts of him and a little homemade card booklet. She is putting this together, so if there is somethng you would like to share about her dad or for her dad you can comment it here or you can private message Tonya Stegall-Conner or you can email her at [email protected].
Tonya said, “A very special friend told me about doing this and that way my dad can see how special he is and laugh and smile and see the impact, good or bad he's had on people while he's still here I pray we have another birthday but hey as all of us know tomorrow's never promised so I want to give this to him now. I hope you will either comment or email/message me. Love you all!”
