Some News

I'm back, kinda.

Sara and Jared left just this afternoon. Their departure was a bit premature but more on that shortly. We had a great visit, and I'll post pictures etc. ASAP.

My hair cut wasn't a crazy disastrous mess that has sent me into complete social seclusion. (In case any of you were wondering if that may be the cause of my blog negligence.) I had Sara take a little portrait and will show you my hair and my blog book very soon.

My sweet great-grandmother, Mama Jo, passed away yesterday afternoon. It was not unexpected. Her passing was quiet, quick and dignified. Sara and Jared had to leave today to make the drive back to NV in time for the funeral which will be this weekend. This means that we will also be making a quick trip back West in the next few days. (Which also means I'll be spending the next few days doing laundry, cleaning and packing rather than blogging.) I'm excited to tell you about Mama Jo. But it may be next week, or maybe the week after before I am able.

Just checking in, y'all. More soon.

Oh Mama Joe! Well I'm glad she went quick but I sure will miss seeing her. Good luck with the packing and my condolences to your family. I'm sure her passing was bitter sweet. Love you!

Oh, I'm sorry, Jesse. I remember how kind and sweet she was. She will be dearly missed.

I don't remember Mama Jo, but I am sorry for you! I am sure she was a sweet lady, as anyone who belongs in your family is - safe trip to you and your family and I hope the funeral is a beautiful one. *hugs*
