Even when life comes at you with stress and difficulty, there is humor to be found.

Great-aunt Rose (on the left) was released from the hospital yesterday but will be spending a few weeks at a nursing home for physical/occupational rehab before she can return home. Of course she wasn't very happy about the idea at all.

The good news is that the nursing home is a block from our place, and two blocks from her home. Bill, my dad, and I were with her today during her first session with her physical therapist; she did great!

Bill and I decided to grab a quick bite to eat back at our place while Aunt Rose was finishing up.
I just started to eat when Bill turned on the radio and this song began to play. Chicken salad leaves a lot to be desired when it flies from your nose with laughter!

Yeah, life is strange, life is good, life is all that it should be. :~)

A hot cup of coffee, reading sweet comments from last night, viewing a couple of flickr-friend's sunrise photos this morning, all the while listening to Donna the Buffalo with Jennie Stearns, makes it that much "gooder".

The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven

The end of a very long, ten days.
Again, thank you very much for your calls, cards, photo-dedications, email and kind comments.
Bill and I sincerely appreciate each and every thoughtful gesture. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

This is my favorite snapshot of the two of us car-crazy guys.

I'll miss you, Unc.
