I just read the long post above....tap on it and it enlarges to read. That is so meaningful, I'm sure, especially so for you, Maggie. Very heartfelt, a bit painful....so very, very true.
I had just read a very heartening memorial card from our Catholic faith...in memorial for my Joe, who died September 8, 2012.
I find it strange....that as I remember, and grieve again, for a recent lost love...it triggers grief anew for those long gone...my children, gone now 25 and 20 years....and Mom and Dad...before. A softer grief, tugging at the heart.

I allow it to take me away for a while, to remember, to feel, to appreciate those special memories of each of them. Then, to move forward once again. Continue to live and to never forget...those I've lost.....tucked away...deep in my heart...till the next wave...(the symbolism is very accurate). With passing years, the waves ARE much farther apart...become much smaller...and the ripples are softer as they soothe the soul. God bless. Evelyn.

TinCrumpet thank you(pm) and you are welcome. Whenever I read your posts my mind does it with an accent. So whether you have one or not in my mind you do and it's all very proper.

Hi Maggie... I can do the gathering spot here... I think Fort Stevens has it all... beautiful park... a forest and right on the ocean... walking, biking, cabins, yurts.
Near Astoria... lots of history there... and shopping available, Costco, tons of cute shops and eating in Astoria and near by... there might be a Walgreens by then.. it's in the works...
So if everyone likes that, we'll do Ft Stevens... you can look it up on line... you'll love it!!! hugs and love from here... gail

Happy Anniversary to Lilli and Hans, even though it is late.
I have missed you very much. I enjoyed getting to see England through your posts. I learned so much about your history and your beautiful country.
I hope good health will return to you and your family very soon.

Thanks, Gail. Will look it up.

Have had a lovely day with my best friend and her hubby of 45 years....walking, talking, shopping, talking, eating, talking, and drinking a bit back here in the Interstate....from my box of House Wine Riesling stashed in the frig.

All of the shopkeepers and restaraunt-ers are extraordinarily friendly, smiling and helpful. We had dinner last night at one restaurant, dinner tonight at another, and plan to hit yet another tomorrow. Everything delicious and well prepared. One could seriously put on weight doing this for too long. Good thing we are leaving Sunday.

Made a few small purchases, including two small cookie cutters....one a bone and one in the shape of a dog that looks remarkably like Lily. Have a recipe at home for dog treats, which I will make for her......jarred baby meat and wheat germ, if I recall correctly. She loves them, and these little shapes will be cute.

Also found a nice pair of sunglasses, at a bargain price...the very best kind....for my trip in a couple of weeks. I never wear sunglasses, but they are highly recommended in Greece all year round. Mine. I may have to take a selfie to show them off.

The RV park here is one big parking lot. Looks more like a fairground, but is very close to town. There are dog races here tonight and over the weekend. Yikes.

I love dogs, but there is a whole lot of barking going on. Good thing Lily is not here, as she would be going berserk.

Driving out here yesterday, I saw a hand lettered sign at one house that said "farm puppies for sale", and I thought....is a farm puppy like a rez dog? Unidentifiable mixed breed?

I had never seen that before...funny.

Time for some down time and then night-night. I am sooooo not a night person.


Maggie

So important to be grateful every day for what you have, for what is good and soul deep in a positive way in your life, and to appreciate the strengths and special qualities of those around you.

It helps to banish the darkness.

Doug leads me to roses, you know....to remind me that he, his love and his strength are near, and still there for me.

A small purchase in an antique shop yesterday. I will find a place to hang it in my kitchen.

We have had another wonderful day, with absolutely glorious weather...perfect for walking around in this lovely area.

They head back to MN tomorrow, me to Iowa City to see Doug's youngest and the grand there. I have yummy Cranberry Wine, some cheese, and summer sausage in tow....also a few pretty glass items for my front windows.

Home on Monday, and first stop will be to pick up my sweet Lily. Very odd to be out without her, but everything has stayed much cleaner without clumps of black fur on everything and everywhere.

Nothing exciting going on, just checking in. All is well, and I have enjoyed this time with my dearest friends.


Maggie

Hello Maggie ..
I absolutely adore Roses .. During DD celebrations
Ring of Steel 20 miles across and 10 miles inland around Obama..Cameron and other Heads of State prevented us from reaching the Beach .. So .. Instead .. we spent an emotional day at St.Manvieu .. 1627 Commonwealth burials of 2WW .. Sadly 49 of them unidentified and 555 German .. chatted to an elderly gent who was visiting his young Nephew .. DR Bayes Dragoon Guards who perished in a Tank .. poor chap was quite overcome at the thought he was still around in his 80's and the young boy only made it to 19 ..

Whilst Im on Maggie .. I hope you don't mind me acknowledging couple posts ..

Lili.....please....drop in here any time!

Thanks for the rose, I have saved it.

I still have the Flowers for Maggie you sent me after Doug died.

Up at the crack of dawn this am, and headed straight for the showers, as the joint is jumpin' and I wanted to avoid a line..... or no hot water.

Have had my weekly Skype with my Brooklyn-ite daughter. What a boon this is for those separated by miles.

Two weeks from tomorrow....... I bought a pretty, dusty red colored scarf on Friday in one of the shops here. Kind of lacy, non-bulky and very light weight...won't take up much space in my luggage, but will allow for a bit of dressing up.

I have read that Athens is very casual, also lots of black , which is good....nice clothing but not fancy clothing is much more my style.

Need to pull myself together for the day.


Maggie
