Sorry for the long delay in updating our blog. I will be catching up over the next few weeks.
We arrived here in Seneca Missouri in mid-October. Unfortunately, just after our arrival, my grandmother became ill and was in and out of the hospital until she passed away just before Christmas. This was very unexpected and hard on everyone, but we take comfort knowing she is reunited with Grandpa, her husband of 65 years.
Grandma was a terrific lady with a lot of spunk; she was always busy, and was an expert crafter who could sew, knit, and crochet, not to mention an excellent baker and cook. I have very fond memories of making chocolate chip cookies together when I was little, and will always love the smell of fresh baked bread which reminds me of her kitchen. She never slowed down to the very end - still taking regular walks down and back up a very steep hill with her dogs. We can all hope to have so much energy at 86!We spent some time this winter getting Grandma's house cleared out. Mom and Dad have also taken in her two dogs (Tutti - yorkie, Caysee - Shihtzu) - so we have had FIVE dogs in the house (Mom and Dad's Shihtzu Mollie and Schnauzer Maggie, plus Rexie our sweet old Mal). Rexie is particularly fond of Maggie the Schnauzer who is definitely Top Dog. For a while, Tuttie the yorkie would show her teeth so Rex usually gives her a very wide berth. The shihtzu's are very easy-going and get along with everyone! Rexie is going to miss the whole pack when we hit the road.
We have taken a few "side trips" while staying in Seneca, which I will post soon.
