Closing shop again

Once again, I'm closing up my blogging shop for a few days.

I lost my dear friend, Joe Guccione (age 62) after a valiant battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).

My husband and I spent almost every Saturday for a year and a half with Joe and his wife, my dear, dear friend, Leslie.

Saturdays will never be the same.

Sigh....life is hard sometimes.

I'm so sorry for you and for your friends. Will be keeping you in my thoughts.

A hard fight with a short stick, as my grandmother Minnie used to say. Much less than he deserved, but we are all better for having known him.

And they are very lucky to have you as a friend.
