Seven years ago

proof that you can never have too many clamps!

Gail died 7 years ago today.  Little did anyone know how life would change for so many.  I drove over to Cynthia's today and brought a cup of java in honor of Mom--by the way she did not drink coffee!  As I reflected on her death today I also thought of so many friends and aquatints who have died since then.  Bonnie, Dave, Mark, Jim, Ken, Diane, another Jim, Bruce, Ron, Tom, Mike and the list surely could go on.  Some lived a long life and others, in our today world, did not live into old age. When I think of old age I think of Amy's grandpa who is 101, my cousin who is 97, another cousin who is 89 and Grandma Saunders who is 95.  It is interesting to think about who lives a long life and who does not get to do that and of course we will never have an answer if we ask why.  As for Terry and I we both will be 70 next year.  Today, that is not old and my hope is that we will live into old age.  To 95 or so, not so sure I wish for that but what will be will be!
More progress on the bath.  I am hoping to get the last of the two walls up tomorrow.  It is then a matter of finishing them--easier said than done.  One is a fairly large piece of dry wall and I am not so sure I can get it upstairs by myself.  Terry strained her back and I do not want her to lift.  I also finished one of the small windows that will be in the bath and also another storm that I redid.  Perhaps I should make a list of things that have gotten done this summer.  That may make me feel better about all the "catch up" that needs to be done around here.  It would not get any more done but it could be a reminder to me that there is progress happening.  It is so easy to look at a list of things that NEED to be done and get discouraged but I tend  to think on the positive side MOST of the time.
I am still on my "no FP kick" so I figured I could blog in the afternoon!
