Going on 87...Savoring and Surviving the Senior Years

Always a Party


No, I'm not dead yet. Many thanks to my dear friends for reminding me of the fact! Life has more twists and turns than an elephant's intestine and I've been in survival mode for the past few months. However, Lucy is back on track and anxious to share with her friends. As usual, things are unusual here in the Donn Dimension. It's always a party and everybody is invited,

In addition to the wedding in July, we had a sudden death in the family. Carole's oldest son suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm and died with merciful quickness. However his body wasn't found for 4 days---he was expected to be out of town. As expected, the scene was ghastly and traumatic. Carole, Aaron and Sarah had to deal with things. I don't know how they did it---I would have gotten a migraine, thrown up or both. However, since I'm a Jewish granny, I can suffer vicariously.

In any case, the Donns have had waaay to much excitement the past few months. But at the same time I kind of enjoy it. It means I'm not dead yet. However, I type like I am. That's why I'm closing this entry. Tomorrow I'll finish the story. The picture gives a hint about what's coming, See you manana.

    Oh, Lucy, Kay and I have been worried about you - and probably many others as well. Thanks for letting us know you are still among us! I look forward to "the rest of the story".

    Lucy,
    I have not visited your blog for quite some time. Please give my condolences to Carol. I have lost a son and I know the terrible sorrow that comes with such a tragedy.

    Once again, I do hope all is well with you, that Carol is doing as well as possible.

    Exactly when is your promised "manana" ? ;-)

    I know, just whenever you decide it is!
