Okay. Now, if you wanna play Friday Five, go here.

I'm up at this hour because I still have some things to do prior to leaving for my grandmother's funeral. I'm baking chocolate chip cookies because she almost always had some in the cookie jar whenever I was there. It's an exquisite morning, with a full Blood moon so bright that the shadows of the trees are crisply defined.

Last night, I had a telephone visit with Cheri -- who, by the way, was the first person to send me a sympathy card; thank you, sweetheart. I'm not certain where two hours went with her, but it was nice to spend the time not doing anything funeral-related.

I also don't know what I would do without the good folks here at Diaryland; if I couldn't take a few moments during a day and walk around in other peoples' moccasins for a bit, I think I'd go crackers. So, to all of you -- thank you.

And, extra hugs today to Todd Thalimer, who lost a favorite aunt yesterday, and to Scott Hysmith, who is getting a brain scan today to see if the doctor can find what's causing his headaches. Today, I will be with you both, as I know you are with me.
