Shrimp, Breast Feed?????

I was happy to be in Philly to see my family yesterday.  It felt very weird to be at my cousin's house, without my Aunt Gloria.  She is missed terribly by everyone, and it wasn't just the conversation that told me so. There was plenty of laughter with the reminiscing and tears though.  I am grateful for that.  Of course, when Ellie came into the kitchen to tell us she had seen a shrimp breast feeding...it set the silly mood for the remainder of our visit.  When we went out for dinner, it seemed that time flew by as we laughed until tears were rolling down our cheeks and our tummies hurt.  Philadelphia was great!!!! Not to mention, the Eagles redeemed themselves in their second pre season game!!!!

Jess and Elan, I hope you're enjoying your soccer tournaments and playing well!!

FC ~ the ring is beautiful and Pierre is adorable.  Tom, ya done good!!  Ha ha.

Marsh, thanks for doing my laundry and for the supply of mattress pads.  Now, step away from the teeth.

Uncle Gravy, I love you.  I'm sorry you hurt so badly and wish I had some brilliant words to make "it" all better. I don't...but what I can tell you is grief is ever changing. There are days that will seem healing and days that seem entirely too long. Do whatever feels right for you, and please know you aren't alone.  Don't forget, there's a ship in South Carolina waiting for you!!!!!!!

I'll be going back to Anderson tomorrow.  I'm riding with my friend, Michelle.  I'm hoping my body feels a little happier for the eight hour ride.

I dread goodbyes with the Browning bunch...however I will be returning September 22nd via plane thanks to "the man"!!  YEA!!!!!!

***Prayers for safe traveling for Michelle, Michael and I.
