LOL, I am not a real fish lover, except for tuna and we did have a casino at Laughlin that did a beer batter fish fry on Friday nights, and it was wonderful.

Good that you are going out to dinner, you earned it and need a rest.

Thank you for taking your neighbor with you.

I know that everyone calls when you loose a loved one, but after 6 months, folks forget that you are still alive and even more lonely.

For that very reason we have tried to keep contact going regularly through this past year. There are about a half dozen other families that have done that too so this has been a helpful thing I think. We (Lloyd and I) discussed a couple of weeks ago that we need to step things up again because of the anniversary of the death coming up. I have already noticed that she has been appreciative. Today, for the first time, she finally took me up on my invitation to come over and just keep my company while I do my work so we can visit. We visited while I planted and it was good. She had finished packing up all his clothing this morning and said she just needed to get out of the house. I was *so* glad that she did this. And when Lloyd got home from work we went and ate, had a wonderful afternoon and evening all together.

Good grief! And it just dawned on me that I forgot to mention the pennies again! DOH!!!!
