Missed all of last week, didn’t I? Again, things have been running together, and it seems like only yesterday I was prepping for Resurrection April (a WriYe challenge), and here it is rapidly approaching August.
I vaguely remember how insane things were when my Grandfather died. Grandma died so quickly after a few years of Alzheimer’s that there was no time to feel the slow/speedy movement of the minutes, hours and days. Limbo followed their deaths, due to family issues amongst their children. I stayed out of as much of it …

I’ve been given a lot of cards and poetry, a lot of sympathies and hugs, a lot of nods and shared tears over the past couple of weeks. It’s been harder on other folks, I think, than myself or my family.

Still on my low and no sodium recipe searches! I use the following spice mixes – well, the commercial ones, anwyay – regularly, and the sodium content in them is astronomical! So between google, cookbooks and fiddling around on my own, here’s my top four. Now if I could only find low-salt Frank’s Red Hot, I’d be a happy girl.

Yesterday, my mom took her last breath and is now – finally – at peace.

When it rains, it pours… and occasionally snows. The weather continues to drive me a wee bit doolally; it is, as my sister in law pointed out this past Saturday, as though Mother Nature is in the throes of PMS.
I concur.
