If anyone wonders I am quiet because I’ve had to maintain calm as these last few weeks the husband of a dear friend has died while in hospice at home. And. One of my two best friends is currently in hospice and not expected to live much longer. Just waiting to hear what is inevitable is very sobering. In the meantime sure would be nice if this insane heat would give us a break and I could break a long spell of daily migraine. Meanwhile I do appreciate hearing what’s going on in friend’s lives and celebrating simple joys.
