Granny Pam I’ve got a ton of wash, and a ton to do. We got our van back last night, S-in-L used it a few days while trying to clear up a few things. There are so many things after a death. I took step-dad to the eye doctor yesterday and myself to the dentist. No problems, … Read more
I’ve been missing from the blogs for a few days. Sally, a wonderful daughter, sister, mother and grandmother left us last Friday. I knew her as S-in-L’s mother and my younger grandchildren’s Grammie; she was good at both. GS3 and GD1 were understandably upset, but I hope the good memories will out last the pain … Read more
