Hello to all my fellow 69'ers!
It's been some time since I last posted. Quite some time.... It's not that I haven't thought of you all, because I have, often! My siblings and I have finally finished cleaning out mom's house full of some 60 years of memories. It took a full year of working, packing, sorting and tossing! We worked every weekend, every holiday, every vacation. And still there are boxes and trunks in my basement! Boxes and trunks in my garage! Many of you have already gone through this process. I want to tell you that I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I should have shown up at your door with a plate of cookies, a hug, and an empty box to help you fill. Some of you did this for me and I was reduced to tears of gratefulness. For those of you still blessed with the presence of your parents, treasure your time left, and call me when you need a hug and a box. Oh, and cookies too!
Now that I'm retired, I've GOT to figure out how to change my photo!
