I lost a very special family friend yesterday.

I have known her since I was about 4 1/2 years old! I grew up at her home almost as much as I was at my own at times.

Cancer! It is a cruel, cruel manifestation of all that has gone wrong in this world since Adam and Eve fail from perfection! I don't beleive there is a person on this earth that has not been affected by this dreadful disease.

Sleep now, Linda. We will see you again in the New System, where cancer will be a thing of the past; just like all other illnesses and even death!

The final countdown.....

School starts in two weeks!

I will be working some days the week before, but everyone starts back on the 23rd.

So, between now and then I am finishing up getting school supplies together, new shoes for those that need them and renting a clarinet for the boy.

Also, within the next two weeks I need to work out a plan for meals. I need to get into the swing of planning out my meals again. I also want to start using my crockpot some more.

Also... I have not used my rottiserrie (sp?) in a long time, so I have a whole chicken defrosting in the fridge right now. :-)
