It's been quiet!

What else is there to have happen after the passing of my mother-in-law? Though we did go out to dinner on Friday night with friends and had friends over for dinner last night. Friends are one of the greastest gifts in life and we were fortunate to be able to get together which has helped us to try to get back on track with our lives.

But it can never be the same track, obviously, because my mother-in-law is no longer there to share the trip.

We did go to the nearest IKEA store yesterday - which is in Massachusetts. Looking for one thing, we spent a bunch of money on other things. But it was another step in getting out and getting on. All in all, it was a good day.

Today it was back to church and back to singing in the choir. Church has provided another avenue toward moving forward as we, once again, connected with many friends. Tomorrow is my monthly bridge game the the church as well.

Life is beginning to return to normal - whatever the "new normal" is to be,

We can move on - but it will never be the same...
