Back on the Interwebs, for now, but who knows how long it will last with our lousy ISP. The landline phone still doesn’t work; they think service might be restored by Friday, but don’t quote them ...

Anyway, thank you all so much for your kind words and your prayers on the death of my father and Gunner Anoreth’s grandfather. (And to inform some who didn’t receive the notice last night.) My father passed away peacefully in a Hospice Home in Florida, more than ten years after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. My mother was with him, and my brother and I had visited during the last two weeks.

Dad was a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, two years in Vietnam, two years in the Persian Gulf, retired at O-6. He was a native of Missouri. He liked sports cars, guns, dogs, and alcoholic beverages. Anoreth is his true descendant. His ashes will be interred with military honors in a national cemetery in Florida at a more suitable time of the year.

Dad would have liked FR, but he refused to learn to use a computer, even to play solitaire.

(Vociferous thanks to Monkey Face, bestest of friends, for posting for me last night, while I sent txts from my dumbphone.)

Would that be the cemetery in Bushnell?

Dearest Tax-chick, I will pray for the repose of your father's soul, who, from your description, must have been Someone to Know. May God cleanse him of any spot or stain, mercifully free him from all attachments to sin, raise him up and make him glorious in the Heavenly Kingdom.

I have a number of friends who are now facing their first Thanksgiving without husband, or mother, or father. It brings a sad note into things, but the "Thanks" keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I pray you many graces; I give you many thanks.

So sorry, Tax-chick. Please accept my condolences.

I lost my father-in-law a couple of years ago to Parkinson's. It was so sad to see that vigorous man, always sharp as a tack, slowly lose his faculties.
