The Stone Fence Cottage: Many Thanks!!!!

Hiya Blogland!!!

I cannot express my gratitude to everyone who sent their kind words and lifted prayers for our family during this time of my Dad's illness and passing. It meant so much and I am sending a hug to you all!!! I wish I had time to email each of you personally!

We are all getting back to normal (or whatever normal is for me..lol) He went so peacefully-it was a blessing. No more pain, no more suffering. My step-mom is doing good....I think she is almost a bit relieved. It was so hard for her to see him like he was at the end...helpless to do anything.

My Dad when he was serving as a town councilman in the late 80's

I was clearing out my vegetable garden this morning and got a bit teary-eyed. My dad was an avid gardener and I definitely got my love from him. He taught me a lot about gardening. I got my love of reading from him. He introduced me to James Michener when I was a teenager. His favorite Michener was "Chesapeake"--think I'll have to get that out of the library soon and re-read it in his memory.

Not much has been going on at The Stone Fence Cottage the last few weeks. I did manage to hit up a nice yard sale in my travels. A nice haul for $2!!
