I have been away WAY too long. I am so very, very sorry to hear that news... you know I was a reader back when you two were getting to know one another and then making plans to marry. I can hardly believe it. I have been going back through posts to catch up. Even though it was May, I know that the wound must still feel like yesterday. You are in my prayers. I am starting to blog again, so hopefully I will be more in the loop. Sounds like your relationship with your dad could be a bit like mine. So glad you have found a reason to spend some time with him, just sorry for the reason. You are much too young looking to be compared to any of the aforementioned older folks. ;)<br /><br />Blessings and virtual hugs,<br />ChristiCharm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-18933279971641212692016-10-14T18:38:36.615-04:002016-10-14T18:38:36.615-04:00She's 90?!

Heaven awaits but it is wonderful to have an earthly relationship, too. There are some wonderful family pictures here, Vee.

They look yummy. <br />I loved seeing all the beautiful family photos and reading about them. Loved reading that you and your dad have gotten back together. I think he sounds a bit like my dad. And your Aunt Marge? 90?? Wow! What is her secret? <br />Happy Birthday to the birthday girl! Is it you or Laurel? I'm thinking your daughter. Anyway, I'm probably late. Still missing my old blog list that updated when there were new posts. I'm working to replace it, I think I used the wrong gadget on the one I have now. <br />Have a nice week!

I know that there are hard things in many relationships - we have some of our own - and there's a achey feeling that things are not as they should be, but one is powerless to know how to proceed. <br />I don't know that you look like your Aunt Marge, but you are lovely. Your eyes and smile reach out, even through photography. And you certainly keep up with current events and technology. <br />The apple slices with cream cheese, caramel, and nuts really look delicious!

Speaking of amazing....your Aunt Marge looks wonderful at 90!! And I do think you resemble her. Good genes! It's good to keep up with the times and technology. I enjoyed seeing all the family photos. Thank you for sharing them. We were at Kings Landing Saturday afternoon and noted 3 cars from Maine, one from NH and one from Texas! Wishing you a blessed week ahead.

By your description I'm thinking you take after him with the quick wit.<br />As for that sweet apple treat, I must pick up some caramel sauce so that we can try it.
