Gone For A Few Days

I am being called to go out of town for a few days, maybe a week or so. My dear uncle, great-uncle actually, is at the end of his grand and long life. It's looking like just days left. So, I'll be heading to my childhood hometown in a day or so, help take care of things there for a little while.

He'll be missed a lot because he is loved a lot! It has been said that the one thing that will walk away from the grave is the character of a man. His essence. And that is what we will always have of this dear, sweet man.

Goodbye, Uncle! Thank you for all you've done, for all you've given me, for all you have been to me!

I'm Back!

I'm Back! Yeah, I've been gone. Not a particularly happy occasion though, the funeral of a dear, dear friend. Everyone's Grandpa! Loved him dearly, but I know he is in a so much happier place. And at 99 years old, he outlived many of those whom he loved, so he'll probably spend the next millenia or so catching up!

Progress, schmogress. I don't even know how I did but I'm sure it's pretty pitiful! Food everywhere! All the time! And if it wasn't food, it was sitting and talking! But it was good for the soul if not for the body!

Why I Adore My Husband!!!

I was whining about why I hadn't become lean and svelte, or at least hadn't lost enough weight that people aren't oohing and ahhing after me! After all, I'm watching my food, and I'm treadmilling almost daily!

He said, "It's probably because muscle weighs more than fat!"
