Tomorrow is a quiet day....
your spirit and memories of days ago are still very strong as we look back over the last 17 years since you were here-
It's amazing how the flight of time time can stand in front
of one as you see your adult children age out with
Scott turning 60 and Andrea 58! Both are holding their own and are really good
people- you would be proud..
Miss you

Hey! Had a good Easter! Saw an amazing production with Linda and then stopped by Andrea's. She's doing well and Blake...you wouldn't recognize him - he's as tall as me!

Kept the tradition strong - good stockings filled with stuff from the Dollar Store!!

You would have had a blast - I got toy guns that shot mini marshmallows for everyone. It was a marshmallow warzone! It looked like it snowed inside Okane's house!!!!

Stopped by your place and laid the Christmas wreath mom gave me into the water off your dock so you could have a decoration too!

Peace be with you...

We have just learned of Uncle Bud's death. Our condolelences to you all. We were talking about Uncle Bud last night and wondered how he was. What a shock to read about his passing. Time goes by so quickly. We hadn't seen him since our mom died. He cracked us up...running through the cemetary,carrying his attachee case and wearing a trenchcoat. Our Mom would have loved the sight!

Herb Alpert as rejoin music on Real Radio.
Beef Barley soup as the "Soup of the Day"
MallowMar pie as the "Dessert of the Day"
Even my TV show was centered around Rutgers.
