Please give your husband a hug for me, teeny. What a rich life she must have lived! Blessings.

Sue,
I knew you were here, so I posted a general announcement. I was feeding homeless veterans, for the 2nd year in a row, when I received the call. My husband is the youngest and was the apple of her eye. She waited until he came before she sighed her last. It was so, her! Roland had helped us set up everything, before he left for the hospital. I had a fitful night, not much sleep. Our friends from the American Legion, have already asked if we wanted a repast, after the services. We are known, throughout the state of NJ, for our work with veterans and veterans causes, so everyone is reaching out to my husband. I know I'm married to an angel. God had to send someone, to watch over me. Thank you, so much for your thoughts.
Sharon

And everyone is watching over everyone else. The way it should be.

teeny,

I'm so sad to hear about your mother in law.

Please accept Patti and my condolences.

What an extraordinary life Phoebe Louise Boone must have lived. She must have seen so much in those years.

Danon and EhBeth,
Until the end, she remembered more than I forgot in the last 40 years.
She had a remarkable memory! Her sister is even more remarkable! They both got around, on their own, save for driving places and that's when it's good you have a son, close by. Her arrangements are set for Tuesday, buriel, immediately following. She will be laid to rest, next to her husband.
Thanks you for your kind words. She will be missed by all of us.
Sharon

We made it back from last night's concert just as the snow started to come down ... and it's still falling ... is this going to be a real Ontario winter again? that would be amazing!

Nope, the snow is an event, that is all. We are supposed to be warmer and drier than usual. That may be true of you too.

Don't forget to add a round of word work at www.freerice.com after your clicking at www.care2.com

sumac, thanks for the info. I recently read an article about the resurgence of distillation to make drinking alcohol in the US. One farmer got a permit and started his still to make vodka - demand was so high he could not keep up with orders. The part of the article that I thought was most interesting was when he said that the vodka runs really well in his farm equipment and automobile.

"Fall canceled"??? I think they are right - we actually had no real Fall here either. The trees that turned bright red in the past just turned brown - same with all the other trees. No color at all this year - except brown of course.

Morning ehBeth, I saw in the news yesterday you would be getting some snow.

I wonder if the vodka would fuel my furnace instead of the propane.

I can normally sit on the porch and read (with a BIG sweater on) until mid-December

Very nice. I miss snow.

Quietly clicking and the song is so beautiful, from the Advent Calender. Snowed today!

Thank you!
