    What a lovely picture. You look like you're in love, the deep, real kind of love. It's beautiful when you see it. Congratulations.

    It's been a couple of weeks of the highest high and now the lowest low. My mom passed away a little while ago. I loved her so much and will miss her always.

    Oh, Pax! I'm so sorry to read about your mom. I am glad that she got to see you so happy, though. Hold your good memories close, and may they provide you some comfort in the days ahead.

    Hugs.

    I couldn't have said this any better than SheFly just did. Me too, Pax.

    Thank you, everyone. I think I'm just kind of numb now. Once I get past the funeral on Thursday I'll take some time to breathe. She has needed me so intensely the last six years I'm not sure how to be without her.

    Seriously frustrated with our internet and phone. Of course given the lack of competition in both areas nobody really cares that half of my phone calls get dropped and the other half have such bad connection you can't hear. Dread the thought of more costs but we may have to consider the antique land line... The classic customer response seems to be "it sucks to be you"

    Hahahahahaha ... when I started reading your post I was thinking the same thing and how we were thinking I wish cellular internet was less expensive so we could drop the DSL!! If you're out in the sticks like we are, landline internet is pretty much guaranteed to be way slow.

    Even the fact that 4G is way quicker ought to give you an indication of the speeds we get with rural DSL ...

    I know. Just managed a week with a 3G modem that had a 2gb monthly limit. now have cable, since I couldn't get DSL where I'm now living. The furniture and bike arrives tomorrow - still hoping I made the right move, but having mom 6 floors down makes a world of difference in my mind.
