I’m feeling sort of melancholy. My brother’s wife, Carolyn, died this morning. She had a 2 year battle against cancer. We were not that close. You know how when the male person in a family, be it brother or son, gets married, they tend to spend more time with the wife’s family. Anyway, I struggled this morning about whether to fly to New York state for the funeral. Then, I called my brother, and that sealed the deal. He seemed to really want me to come. Family matters.

I fly out on Wednesday and return on Sunday. So I am bustling around trying to get a bunch of stuff done and in the mail, bills paid and food in the house for Mr. C.

This past week-end, M & M spent the night and then went to church with us on Sunday morning. We had a good time. Here are some gratuitous cute pictures of Miles, Mia and Maggie. Because, family matters.
