Well, I thought 2010 would be bright and glorious, but last evening I had news that was the first blight of the new year. A dear friend I've known for 50 years and is my age told me she has advanced ovarian cancer. That hits too close to home for comfort. This dear soul is probably in a countdown now as we all are, in reality. I haven't been to the doctor for a check up for a long time and who knows what hides in the boundary of my largest organ, my skin.
We all know our days are numbered but when a close friend in our peer group is sitting on a 'time bomb,' it is reality time. This lady is an example of wholesomeness, purity and love and this makes me smile as I picture her. She was always the beautiful one in 'our crowd' when we were in our teens, but very dear in spite of her looks. She was the one we looked up to for an example. Today, she is still that example and will be to her death, I am sure.
I think of her dear husband and two children and two grandchildren........Life is full of surprises...

Have a ham left from Xmas or New Year's?
For a good meal of leftovers, take a ham bone with meat still on it and add water; simmer for an hour. Add some wild rice, green beans and pepper. Cook together for another hour. Serve with corn meal muffins. Mmmmmmmm, good.
