I'm Still Here!

My goodness!  This past week was a whirlwind!  My Grandma passed away (98 years old!) while we were in Australia, and her memorial service/funeral was Friday.  The day before that, I was helping Barbara's caregiver move some of her plants over to my place, as well as some of her books, outdoor furniture, and even a tabletop BBQ.  Some of you might remember I lost a dear friend, Barbara, in early April.  I have been helping here and there with some of her things, many of which have a new home at our house!  There was also a lot of scrap lumber and old pots and bricks, which I will repurpose over time.  It feels good to have so many of Barbara's things.  Rosario, her caregiver, brought tears to my eyes when she gave me a bag of some of Barbara's things that a month or so ago I had said were dear to me.

 I also worked on Wednesday, and prior to that, I was struggling with jet lag!  They say it takes a day per time zone, I think, and I'd say that has been our experience coming home this time.

But I'm still here, and will be back to blogging and connecting here with you!  It has been a busy month, but we're settling back down into a routine.  x o , Karli
