In Memory

A daughter-in-law of one of our closest friends just passed away of lung cancer that spread to her brain. The DIL and her husband had just purchased their dream house, the one they wanted to grow old together in when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Even knowing she had lung cancer she couldn’t or wouldn’t quit smoking. When the cancer spread to her brain she went out of state to try experimental procedures hoping they would save or at least prolong her life. By this time there wasn’t anything that could be done and she was sent home to die. She leaves behind a husband who was a childhood sweetheart, children that adored her, parents who will always grieve, and in-laws that loved her like their own daughter. She was 47.

Words and Whine, er Wine

Hay, at leased spell check works but not two well unless you chews the right word. 'Nuff said.

A couple we had breakfast with the other day said her doctor wants her to have a glass of wine every evening with dinner. They don't drink at all but dutifully headed to the store to pick up a bottle of wine. But did they bring one home? Nope. Overwhelmed by their choices they didn't know how to decide so left, sans wine. DH told them about Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck, drinkable, cheap and even has a cork. They picked up a bottle that afternoon and looked forward to having a glass with dinner but another disappointment - they couldn't get the cork out. Today DH bought them a decent corkscrew and we are now waiting hear how they liked the wine.
