  9. Oh God, Olga. I was just checking in to catch up with my blog friends, and two down on my list I find this. I am shocked. And saddened, and hurting for you. "This was not part of the Plan." those words haunt me.
    I hope you can find some comfort in our long distance consolations. Thinking of you.

  10. Olga, I think the first thoughts for everyone here is the same, "Oh God, please no..." Don't know what else to say. Nothing seems sufficient. You know you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. I may only be an online friend, but will definitely be thinking of you in the next few days, weeks, etc. Take strength from your family and friends.

  13. Hi Olga: I have been busy with the end of the quarter and then I went out of town for the weekend so I am sorry that I have not been the best blog follower. Thank you for sharing this difficult experience and journey with us. I am sure you have many other things to do and many other things on your mind, and I am sure it has not always been easy or pleasant to write about Mike's unexpected illness and, now, death. But I am glad to have been able to hear what has been going on and what is on your heart.

    This was not part of the plan. No. Indeed.

    Peace. Prayers. Compassion. A big hug. I send you all of these.

  14. Oh Olga, my heart just sank when I read this. In fact, I had to read it several times because I just could not take it all in. My heart is breaking for you. Words seem so inadequate. I hope you know that you are being held very tightly in the hearts of many in the blogging world. My prayers are with you. I am so, so sorry to read this news, dear Olga. May God send His peace and comfort to you.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
