Julie and I returned yesterday from our whirlwind trip to MA and NH. We had a fabulous time and got to meet many wonderful stampers! I have some photos to post but I'm going to make it an early night so I can catch up on some sleep.
Today has been a hard day. While I was away, one of our kind elderly neighbors became very ill (cancer) and is not expected to live much longer. Gerhardt has been a fixture in our neighborhood since we moved here. We chatted almost daily when he walked by with his sweet dog, Prince. I am sad that I won't get to see my friend again... he's unresponsive now.
Hugs,
I'm really sorry to hear about your friend... I'm thinking of you both
