@MisterE that looks beautiful
@Mauve_matelot How are you doing lately, Eleanor?
@MisterE This time of year is loaded with lots of emotions and things are a bit rougher than recent years, My Dads eldest sister died on 31 October (my dad is 4th child out of 6) the funeral is in 11 days.
Add in 16 years ago I attended my maternal grandmothers funeral and then flew straight out to a Navy Deployment. It feels tough, and yet there are many good things on the horizon
@Mauve_matelot Understood. I like that you are looking for "good" to happen for you.
@MisterE so how are things with you and the family?
@Mauve_matelot I'm doing well, thanks. I have an older sister and younger brother here in the Chicago and Southeastern Wisconsin area, as well as cousins in Canada and Edinburgh and Glasgow. Lots of friends here, so always something to stay occupied with.
