Mawnin'!
I see everyone is anticipating the oncoming stark, cold days. I look at the patio furniture on the deck and hope the grandkids show up soon to put it away. I pulled one small a/c out of a window and pulled a muscle! Too old for that stuff. Now I'm back to the chiropractor.
Thanks to all for the good thoughts and warm hugs. It was a tough loss as we were only reunited 18 months ago after a 26 year hiatus. But like the wise man said --- if you get there 5 minutes before you die, at least you get there.
Meanwhile, I ask for intensely good thoughts for my grandson (26 y.o.) who is struggling with alcohol & chemical dependency. He flirted with death twice in a month which breaks my heart. He's handsome, talented, smart, and athletic... and could have a great conversation with a pope or a pauper. There is no immunity for this vicious addiction disease.... anyone's kid but for the grace of God. He's waiting for placement in a long term rehab so fingers crossed, and all prayers welcomed!
It's funny, I'm looking forward to the colder weather and the boredom that comes with it. I'm hoping for a drama-free winter even if we deal with nor'easters and frigid noses. I just want some peace. I want to meander through the thrift shops in the off season. I want to learn how to make plum pudding with lemon sauce.
Many of you have had similar challenges this year.... wishing you a boring winter, too!
