Happy rainy hump day!

Good morning, girls....tough to get started on this dark, rainy morning. Glad we weathered the rain last night to gather at Cathy's house - thanks for having us, Cath. Your house looks so festive with lots of Halloween hangings, table runnners and quilts. Consuelo and Mare - you were missed. We talked about lots of things - both happy and sad. Mama Barb was called yesterday to come because Grandpa was not doing well....it was a long day for her and some sad days to come - Pam will keep us posted with any news. Please remember all of them on your prayers. Lots of sad things in the news lately too.....it makes me wonder about man's humanity and the capacity for love that exists or doesn't exist in some people. But then we talk about the beauty or bravery that perhaps we witnessed and those things seem to shore up our souls to be able to bear the ugliness. We keep on plugging, tending to others and taking care of the million little things in life because that's what women do. And that's why the world keeps moving and life continues. (Whump - that's me jumping off the soapbox) Only a week and a half till the shore! Pam is going to make chicken corn chowder - I'm hungry already! Dolores brought her finished Flyers t-shirt quilt last night (and probably wishes she didn't!!!) It is awesome - and she got enough business advice to last a lifetime! Mike was hilarious! All of Dolores' future work may be run past her new manager for approval. We thought of Lois having fun out in Seattle. Halloween is this weekend - enjoy all the tricks and treats. My girls are already talking about the trick they need to do for Mr. DeMarco. If you get arrested by a four year old policeman with a moustache - do not be afraid - it's just Sean McCabe and he can probably be bribed with some candy. Everyone have a great Halloween! Have a candy bar and savor the good in your life......piece.
