On the lawn chair scale....
That storm last week I mean. We have this heavy metal lawn chair that some neighbors gave us. You can't really sit in it but it serves grandly to hold the laundry basket while I hang out or take down clothes.
In a "normal" wind event it is tipped over backwards into the flower bed next to the house often scattering clothespins willy nilly. But it doesn't go far...
Yesterday I went out to hang some laundry and could not find it. Just gone. Finally I saw it, upside down in another flower bed several yards away, in the opposite direction. It took quite a gale to pick that chair up and fling it that far. One of my kitty andirons also took flight and broke alas. They are heavy cast iron and have never even fallen off the log upon which they reside. What a super storm that was...
There have been other storms with sadder consequences. We lost two beloved aunts over the past couple of weeks, tearing the fabric of the family in so many ways. My heart is hurting for my cousins and my dear uncle who have to go on without them. Sad times....

Oh Marianne. I'm so sorry.
How do we move forward ?
Losses such as you're experiencing - during such a difficult, challenging year in so many ways.
Holding you and your dear family in our thoughts and prayers.
Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time. It's never easy, and this year has already stolen so much.
Thank you Cathy, I just don't know. So few things are going well and so many are headed south and not for vacation. Thank you, dear friend
Rev. Paul, thank you.
Gosh, Marianne! I am so sorry! 2020 is just a terrible year in so many ways. Prayers go out to you and your family.
I am saddened to learn that you have lost some folks that you loved. Parts of ourselves die each time we lose someone who possessed memories of us. I hope you can find comfort in the love from your family and friends.
Thanks Linda, I almost hate to get up in the morning wondering what is coming next.
Thanks, Jacqueline, they were amazing women who raised wonderful good people for this world. They will be missed greatly.
