Have been off the boards for a little while – actually surprised to realize that it was not quite as long as it seemed to me, especially after clicking on “New Posts” and having pages and pages come up – I never cease to be amazed at the activity on this board!
The last week or so has been a real merry-go-round ride, with emotions all over the place. It’s nice to get back to a routine and back into checking on new recipes and “other stuff”.
Last Wednesday, September 28, we had to say good-bye to our sweet Dalmatian, Kismet. She was 15˝ years old, and had had some health problems over the past year and a half but they really escalated this past month. It became painfully obvious that her time was nearing, but I wasn’t quite ready for when it did happen. I didn’t have much time to grieve, though (although I know it will hit me soon enough when I have a little quiet time to myself and I guess I am dreading that) because the very next morning my DD went into the hospital and presented me with the most wonderful early birthday present I could ever have hoped for – I am now the unbelievably proud grandma of the world’s cutest bouncing baby boy (not that I’m prejudiced or anything)!!! :) :D ;)
He is the first grandchild on both sides, so you can just imagine, I’m sure…
Anyway, in less than 24 hours I went from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs, and I am still reeling. It’s nice to be back trying to regain an even keel…
Belated thanks for the birthday wishes (and belated wishes to my birthday “twins”) and also wishes for L’Shana Tova to all of you who celebrate.
