Today marks Globfly’s 38th-Month Angelversary—three years and two months since he relocated to heaven on 12/17/18. 

This Angelversary, I wanted to cave and get Globfly a slice of apple pie. I’ve already honored his memory with many of his favorite foods, but I shy away from apple pie because I don’t care for it. He liked it a lot, but we agreed only on coconut cream in the pie category, and I’ve already done that one. Me, make it cherry or even blueberry pie—neither of which he liked. 

Since this is also his Bday month, I figure I would do apple and even add a scoop of ice cream. However, it didn’t work out. Remember I mentioned that it’s an old habit that I automatically look for interesting goodies that he might like? Well, I just happened to be window-shopping (that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.) at my now favorite haunt, Paris Baguette, and what did they have that caught my eye? Soufflé Cheesecake and that was it. “I can’t wait for Markie to try this.” It brought back memories of my early baking days when I attempted a soufflé cake. It was okay. Whaddaya think, Globfly? Yum? I thought so. Total yum. This offer was my attempt at righting that “just okay” experience for my honey.

Globfly was 100% introverted, but he was the biggest ham I knew with his funny hats and silly stunts like in this photo. Globfly thought he was The Flying Ace. I luv this guy. He was so fun. 

Okay, I think Globfly’s pleased with my selection because I betcha he nudged me towards the Soufflé Cheesecake, and it was DELISH. He always had exquisite taste. Globfly, here’s to you, honey! I miss you every day more than words can say! ILYVVVVM  💜🖖👊

Today marks Globfly’s 37th-month Angelversary—three years and a month since he relocated to heaven on 12/17/18. 

It was a no-brainer that I honor Globfly’s memory with this discovery, an “everything but the kitchen sink” cookie from Panera Bread. While shopping for the previous month’s treat, I spotted this cookie, and my first thought was, “I can’t wait for Markie to try this.” Since it’s an old habit, I automatically look for interesting goodies that he might like. 

This colossal cookie reminds me of when we hunted down “the world’s largest” memorabilia like the aloha shirt, ukulele to gold nugget, and even the “the world’s smallest” room. Unique things got our attention. 

In this photo, Globfly was holding a BIG lemon grown in our backyard, which fits into today’s theme. 

I can see Globfly’s dimpled smile as I cut the cookie into quarters and share it with him like we always did. Globfly, here’s to you, honey! I miss you every day more than words can say! ILYVVVVM 💜🖖👊

Posted a day late and a dollar short.🙃

Today marks Globfly’s 34th-month Angelversary—two years and ten months since he relocated to heaven on 12/17/18. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, as the old saying goes, is so true with Globfly. I was one of the fortunate wives who never had to worry about my hubby having wandering eyes except when food was around. I used to tease him that food was “the other woman.” Well, he always included me with “the other woman” and introduced me to many yummy culinary treats that I would never have partaken in myself.

For this month’s Angelversary, I chose a Mini Loco Moco that he introduced to me from our favorite Hawaiian Drive-Inn. I’m a picky eater, but he got me liking this meal. It’s the only thing I’d order when we ate there. I haven’t had it in forever, so it seemed fitting to honor his memory with this meal today.

Globfly here’s to you, honey! I miss you every day more than words can say! ILYVVVVM 💜🖖👊

Today marks Globfly’s 33rd-month Angelversary—that’s two years and nine months since he relocated to heaven on 12/17/18. Since I started honoring Globfly’s memory with his favorite foods, it’s helped me retain a positive spin given the circumstances, but this month was a tough one. A couple of emotional episodes kept me in check, reminding me that my emotions can still overwhelm me at any time.

Remembering Globfly’s happy-go-lucky personality puts a smile back on my face and joy in my heart when I select one of his favorite foods for his Angelversary. Shall we get to it then? This month, he nudged me for a Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie with, of course, a scoop of ice cream. He wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s funny. Globfly always kept me on my toes with curiosity. I never understood why he liked this dessert when he didn’t care for chocolate or chocolate chip cookies, but whatever floated his boat worked for me.

Globfly here’s to you, honey! I miss you every day more than words can say! ILYVVVVM 💜🖖👊

Today marks Globfly’s 32nd-month Angelversary—that’s two years and eight months since he relocated to heaven on 12/17/18. It’s hard to imagine each month brings me farther away from the last time we were together. It is what it is. All I can do is everything that I can to keep his memory alive. 

One of my joys was scoping out goodies that I think he would like and surprising him with them. The second half of my joy was anticipating his response to the treat. Most of the time, I selected well, and he liked it. He was a foodie, and food made him happy, and watching him happy made me happy. It was a win-win. Habitually, I still scope out new treats that Globfly might like, but I don’t buy them anymore. I asked myself, why not? I could branch out from his favorites to new potentials. Today, I saw a unique lemon donut, and the first thing I thought was Globfly would love this. He never met a lemon he didn’t like. 

So, this month, I am honoring his memory with a Paris Baguette “Lemon King Cream Donut.” I would imagine he’d like it because there is a nice balance between the mildly sweet lemon cream filling to the delicate tartness of the lemon icing. Bottom line—not too sweet and not too tangy—just like he’d like it. The donut itself is soft with an even amount of filling throughout. I think Globfly would be pleased with my selection. I would even eat it. 

Globfly here’s to you! I miss you every day more than words can say!

Today marks Globfly’s 31st-month Angelversary—that’s two years and seven months since he relocated to heaven on 12/17/18. Can you believe that? Life keeps clipping along for me. I’m busy as heck, while time has no bearing on him anymore. Yet, I know he’s pleased that I’m not moping around. How can I when I’ve got all of you keeping me entertained? That makes him happy. He preferred laughter over tears.

I started honoring his memory with something he loved—food—instead of tears to help me cope on the 17th. This month’s selection is a slice of “Coconut Cream Pie.” I wasn’t a big pie eater, while Globfly was a pie lover. We always tried to compromise so that we could share a slice to watch our girlie figures. That was a challenging task when his favorite was lemon meringue, which eventually I learned to like, and I love cherry pie, whereas he disliked cherries. You get the picture. What then, right? Then came “Coconut Cream Pie” and we had a winner. It was a lot of fun sharing a slice with my honey, and today I had a craving for “Coconut Cream Pie,” and I felt Globfly nudged me towards it, and so be it. 

Globfly, here’s to you! I miss you every day more than words can say! ILYVVVVM 💜🖖👊
