what's cooking?

I started out as a broadcast journalist, but fate took its course when I literally fell in love at first sight with my husband of 43 years. I then taught school, of various subjects and age groups and now write about food, health, humor and life.

More Weepies

Forgive me. 

The roller coaster of Life just seems to be inundating our existence of late. 

We have shed many happy tears for our eldest grandson Dylan and his high school graduation.  We added to those happy tears for joy regarding his next stage of life. 

Then came the next wave which hit an all-time low.  Although we have not felt since losing our beloved tabby pepper five years ago.

Weepy is not exactly the correct word.  Bawling our eyes out is much closer to the reality.

Sunshine took up a huge space in our lives and now we have a crater that seems so deep that it's impossible to repair.

Poor Lucky!  This is her first time being without a buddy.  She has been looking around, smelling around and whimpering.

Then to further emphasize our loss, John Denver comes on singing "Sunshine on my Shoulders".  The crying re-starts.

Yesterday I got a call that our footprint was ready.  I managed to hold it together -until I opened the gift box.

Still, no matter how deep the grief, I wouldn't trade a single minute of the last 8-1/2 years.
