My Three Beautiful Girls
I know I haven’t posted to this blog in months, but I’ve been extremely busy. But for my friends who want to see my lovely daughter and two granddaughters, here’s one of the pictures I took last time I was at their house:

And here’s a great picture of my granddaughters:

I Lost a Dear Friend Yesterday…
Oh, no, not in that way. He’s still very much alive and doing quite well. Thank goodness!
It’s the absolute worst part of a relationship coming to an end. It’s not great that the romance is gone, but that’s the least of the sadness I feel. It’s the friendship that I already miss.
Already today there were jokes I’ve heard and my first thought was that he would really enjoy that one. There are the fun adventures we had planned to do together – but now I only have to make flight arrangements for one.
It’s the things I need to get used to again. Like having no date for a big black tie dinner I need to go to. Things like having no one I can discuss politics or any number of other things with because none of my friends see those things the same way that I do…except him.
I need to get used to the idea that when the day has gone great or truly awful, there’s no one there to talk it over with any more. And I have to stop wondering how his day has gone.
I wish him well, and I hope he finds what it is that he is looking for, either within or without.
All I can say is that it stinks.

Check Out Some Heavenly Dancing!
Here’s a couple of clips of my friend Roshini dancing at her church. (She’s the really tall one.) Isn’t she great?

All I Can Say is YUM!!

As a blogger, I’ve learned to really enjoy subscribing to other blogs. Not only do I have fun reading all kinds of points of view, but I learn a lot too.
Here’s a post on a blog I follow that gives us roughly 60 new and original recipes for cupcakes. I feel like rushing to the kitchen to bake some….
Enjoy!

A reader of this blog, Olivia, was wonderful enough to send me some photos she took of the room the boy stayed in that show a slight glow coming from the window.
I admit that it’s not a strong glow, but it could definitely be a glow.

Since September, the statue is now at the base of the steps.
So I decided to ask the man who might know, Sylvester Stallone.
Why? I asked him.
Rocky Sly says, It’s better where it is — at the base of the steps. At the top was the completion — the end — but it’s not the completion that counts — it’s the journey. The Effort; The Passion.”
