1. There is a beautiful cemetery nearby where I hope we can have Dad's ashes placed, in a family plot, so I have somewhere to visit him. I went there the other night to talk with him, even though his remains are not there yet. The place feels right and it is comforting.
2. My grief group has been so encouraging and I really appreciate getting to know those people.
3. Facebook has been fun for reconnecting with old friends and finding out what they're up to.
4. Hillary and baby are doing well and we are glad baby is still in the "oven" for the time being. Though an uncomfortable Hillary might disagree.
5. The crazy cat, O'Reilly, tried hard to burn his tail but putting it right over a burning candle - for about 20 seconds! - but his tail, despite singed hair, is no worse for the wear. Silly kitty!
6. Scott and I are doing well on the baby-making plans, and enjoying the, uh, process. ;)
7. I have a part-time job now and though it's not a lot of money, it gives me a schedule and regular time in an office to keep my skills up. It also gives me a chance for social interactions, which are very helpful to me.
8. Mom is taking me to visit Grandma Dorothy in about a week and I am very much looking forward to visiting her. It's been way too long and I've missed her. I will also get a chance to visit our old neighbors and go to Mom's writing group in Fargo.
9. Scott has found a beautiful dog for us and it's the kind I have been hoping for: an English Setter!
10. Chocolate. Brownies. 'Nuff said.
11. We are working on a trip to include visiting Hillary once her baby arrives, and seeing Scott's Mom and Dad in Alabama. Spring is for visiting Snyders this year.
12. Lauren and Benjamin bought the house they have been wanting for years! They are well into renovation projects already.
13. My women's group starts on Saturday and I am very excited!
14. Judy the Cat has become my snuggly bunny and she just loves her mama. Meow.
How are you?
