Just a quick update. I'm back, sort of. The funeral service was awful and beautiful. weemonkey6 did such a fantastic job singing Hear You Me at the end that I doubt there were many dry eyes in the place. I know mine weren't, and really I had maintained quite well until then. But the weather! A "Hollywood funeral" weemonkey6 called it, with rain POURING down and thunder booming away throughout the Mass. Really bizarre. Maybe Mom ordered it, special for us.

Anyway, am now contending with mountains of paperwork, but making good progress. And I am going to try to catch up on my reading at Black Pearl Sails, and here at LJ, too, though it may take a while. I did read ladywarringford's latest chapter of her story, PotC: Between The Raindrops this morning and it was just wonderful. If you like het romance, don't miss it. She's a wonderful writer.

Again, many thanks to all of you for the kind thoughts, prayers, and virtual hugs. It made such a difference.

As ladymora says, "I have a deep and abiding love for you all." Which is no more than the truth.

Will now post two recipes to prettygoodfood, and then... arg!... paperwork and numerous errands!

{{{hugs you all}}}

I was a latent cat-person, though I had only dogs until a little grey stray half-grown kitten came into the yard when my kids were little. He made friends with my husband, and ended up being the Best Cat In The World, our Mr. Spooky. He had plush grey and white stripes -- a most beautiful tabby coat. And so sweet. We were heartbroken when he died a couple of years ago. He was only 13 but had diabetes, and it wasn't diagnosed correctly until it was too late for him. I still have the little girlfriend we got him, my Sunny, a white and brown tabby shorthair, who sleeps with me every night. And we have a friend's hand-me-down cat, Frisky, a black and white shorthair, who was my Mom's special friend and misses her very much.
