Well, my mother-in-law who has been in a nursing home for three years passed away this morning. She has been leaving us by inches for nine years and now she is all gone. My father-in-law's 90th birthday was this past Saturday and all the family was here for that and I did an entire Thanksgiving dinner (18 people) and had a birthday pie! (well several of them!) Then everyone went to see her, though she did not recognize any of them. I am glad that we all had the time together as we had not planned to have Thanksgiving, as they live far away. It was so sad to see the ravages of a lengthy illness but a blessing that she is now at peace.

Sorry to rain on you all today!
