We are clouding up. Getting all ready for the wet snow and lows in the teens.


I had to post that Chicky. It was just to freaking funny when I ran across it.

It is my sincerest hope that you make it through the rest of the year with no additional gnomes.
WARNING!
The gnomes have taken over the tea towel section of tjmaxx, marshalls and home goods.
(Yes I know they’re all owned by the same company).
 
I grew up in a huge post ww2 row-home neighborhood.
There were kids everywhere.
It was a great place to grow up.

In the summertime we were outside playing by 8 am.
We stayed outside all day, could walk right into any friends house, never said we were bored and played until dinner time, then after, until the streetlights came on.

Almost every one I grew up with stayed right there in the area and are still there to this day.

We moved all over the country.

It’s hard to stay connected to people when your life is so different.

My best friend was the middle kid in a family of 5 with two older brothers and two younger sisters.

Her parents were so nice. Her mom was THE BOMB.
So pretty. So kind. Always smiling. (She was strict though, but in all the right ways.) She raised a great group of kids and helped raise the rest of us too.

Whenever the pack of us girls went out to play (including a bunch others from their culdesac and me from across the street ) the mom would always say “TAKE MEGGIE WITH YOU! And hold her hand!” I didn’t have a little sister so I always volunteered.

Meggie was the baby.
God we loved her. All of us.
Loved her.

Last night I found out she died a few days ago!

I haven’t been able to get in touch with anyone to find out any details.
I sleuthed on Facebook and google until my eyes and fingers were tired.

I’m so sad and whistful today.
