Two more deaths... do they come in threes or fours? My Cousin Diana's husband Dan he was 82 years old. A second cousin also died Dickie a first cousin of my Mothers....his obituary is not out yet but he was also in his 80's. I sent cards. We are pretty much funeraled out.
Planning on a quiet weekend.
We are thankful that we were able to travel on Wednesday and Thursday because on Friday snow squall warnings were issued...my phone even went off with an emergency alert.

60 here today....yesterday morning birds were chirping...first time this year
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness, that’s a lot of loss in a short time. Glad you were safe at home when the storm hit.
ReplyDeleteI feel like you about all the demises. Seems a new one appears every little bit.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have warmer weather soon. 79 here today.
My condolences on your family losses.
ReplyDeleteThey (whoever they is) say that deaths run in three's. Sorry Connie for the losses of family loved ones. I know this was a hard trip for you all not only with the weather, but the emotions as well. Thankful it was a safe trip. Our temps yesterday were in the low 80's... needless to say, the trees are budding out.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to a memorial service this morning. We are in our 80's and so are most of our friends, or older. There will be more of these, unless I go first.
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies on the most recent passings. It does seem that deaths come in groups. My aunt, many years deceased, used to say that more deaths occur ahead of leaves falling in autumn and the leaves coming out in spring. Who knows if there is any truth to that.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made it home safely! Winter travel is always a huge worry
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about other family members not being part of the earthly gathering anymore. There should be a large welcoming reception by the time you all get there in a few years.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home before the worst weather. Will March come in like a lion or lamb for you all this year?
Condolences on the recent death of family members. As we age we lose more and more friends and family members. Good thing you avoided the worst of the weather.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. A sad time for your family. Your sister remains in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you weren't out when the warnings were issued, and I'm glad you cold stay home! It sounds like that was a great place to be! I remember my parents bemoaning the deaths of friends. We've lost a few, but it's inevitable that more will come as we all age. My dad's third wife used to say that we weren't born with an expiration date stamped on our butts!
ReplyDeleteHoping for better weather now means a few snow squalls.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, hang in there Connie! So sorry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Connie. It does seem to be a bad time for deaths. We've had two funerals in the past week. Friends, not family, but still hard.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
So sorry to hear about all the funerals. But with the bad weather, glad you are staying put.
