Good Grief ! Pantry inventory  March 3, 2014


Some folks bottle up their grief
Keep their tears away from the light
The lighthouse of friends that will ease
Them out of that dark relentless night

And then there is the joy
Cooking together
Breaking bread
And eating pie........

  10. Dear Kathe,
    I didn't know about your father's death ... I am so sorry.

    You are spot on regarding those bottles of grief we cart around.
    Take care,

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
