Today was the funeral. My uncle and cousins all spoke; they were so brave. They told wonderful stories of their Mother and wife. She was so loved.  It was a sobering sight to see my young  cousins, in their twenties, carrying their Mothers casket. It's so hard to imagine life without her. A friend of…

 This past weekend had me in the kitchen a lot. Food to comfort the body and soul, I suppose. When I had Charlie last November, a friend brought me over the most delicious, comforting, wonderful french bread. I begged her for the recipe and she obliged. I was so surprised when the bread actually worked.…

That's my Aunt Cheryl, 3rd to the right. She's beautiful, isn't she? I love this picture (circa 1969-ish.) February 22, 1955- February 20, 2010

 My Aunt Cheryl is pretty great. Wonderful, in fact. I got to visit with her for a few hours when I was in Utah last week. She's been transfered to my cousins house now where they can care for her. My Aunt became ill over Thanksgiving and what was thought to be treatable has now…
