Meg has been busy with family the past few days; she is heading to California with her Mom to visit several sick relatives.
Sadly, it’s the kind of sick where you say your goodbyes and know you aren’t going to be seeing the person again. It’s been stressful and sad and it’s her duty to make sure things get done the right way.
Anyway, Meg will be back in blog land in a couple of weeks; don’t fret. Please keep Meg and her family in your thoughts as we take that journey that no one really wants to go on.

Sending you and Mom and B lots of love and strength – tough trip, but so good of you to go. I hope you’ll do the same for me when I am 90 and withering away in my Sonoma wine country house, with the doctors scratching their heads saying, “With *that* liver, we don’t know how she made it this long.”
Zadge, most likely I will be your neighbor down the road so we’ll be all good that way!
Susan, I love that quote. I will keep it close to my heart this week.
I think we should all be lucky enough to touch someone’s skin and inhale their scent and feel their warmth before we have to say goodbye. Hope your trip is safe. And healing.
