We received hard news this morning – a dear friend passed away last night due to complications following “routine” surgery (hernia repair). We’ve been stunned all day as a result, although “the beat goes on” with the very lively activity of kids and grandkids – a good diversion.
Among other activities, we rigged the Hobie today for its maiden voyage of the 2011 summer season. Our 10-year-old grandson seemed to show a budding interest; maybe he’ll be the next skipper someday?
Our friend is no longer with us, and yet we’re surrounded by so much life and new promise…..

Wow! You know, there've been an unusual # of deaths around us here...I went out and bought a box of sympathy cards at Walgreens on Friday! (I'd stumbled on some very nice ones there and bought a box for my mother awhile ago...Now I need them in quantity.)
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. It will probably hit you after the festivities of the holiday wind down...
