Greetings to All and Happy New Year to our Jewish friends!
I've been off to California for 10 days... long way from Cape Cod! Started off as a short trip to see stepson before he moves to Thailand - that was San Diego. On the way to the airport for return flt on day 3 I got a call that my older brother was in hospital near San Francisco. He'd been sick for weeks but this was a 911 call and it was determined he's end stage - lung cancer. I'm shattered even tho the writing was on the wall for years. So off to northern Cal for a week and had to finally come home. I hope we make it back there before he exits stage right. I'm next of kin (only kin that cares) so I'm overwhelmed by a lot of different thoughts. Please send Freddy warm thoughts of a peaceful passing.
Meanwhile, visited a thrift as a diversion in Castro Valley CA and was wishing I had an extra suitcase. Gorgeous elegant and other antique glass. Even saw a lovely tiffany - my bro adores tiffany lamps!!! Champagne taste - beer purse!!!!
Our weather is incredibly more appealing that what we bore in California. It was 107 in Livermore where we stayed. Good Grief! So 80 degrees and dry is lovely here today. Had a nice walk and contemplated clouds.
I'm trying to make today special. Life's so precious. Must plan a wonderful dinner for DH and I. Maybe we'll dine al fresco.
Enjoy your day, too, everyone!
