I've been spending time with my 95 year old dying ex-father in law, a very sweet, dear man who is incredibly serene and accepting of his path now. But I know what you mean about how those scary emergencies leave one feeling like they've been steamrollered. On another subject, I wanted to buy a good book with Sargent oil paintings (have the watercolor one) so naturally I went to your squidoo lens and saw several listed but no words of wisdom from you on them. Do you have a favorite among them?Jana Bouchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019523068496828367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-16023752054392992552007-10-25T18:46:00.000+00:002007-10-25T18:46:00.000+00:00I've updated the post to include a link to the Wik...I've updated the post to include a link to the Wikipedia page about the <A HTTP://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/CALIFORNIA_WILDFIRES_OF_OCTOBER_2007 HREF+ HREF="" REL="nofollow">The Califoria Wildfires of October 2007</A>Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-1432131028683071262007-10-25T07:52:00.000+00:002007-10-25T07:52:00.000+00:00Thanks everybody - your thoughts and good wishes a...Thanks everybody - your thoughts and good wishes at this time are much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure all the people in San Diego and SoCal generally will also value any positive thoughts and prayers you can offer.

I am having surgery soon and my blogging hasn't been regular lately.<BR/><BR/>If you have a phone number for the people in San Diego, I would be glad to call them and see if I can get an answer.

We are all praying for California inhabitants, people, pets and all creatures including the lush vegetation. <BR/>It is hard. Here in Boston We are celebrating Baseball.<BR/>Feeling blue We do not have the money for the tickets. However, If I had that Money! - I do not think I would buy the ticket. I think it would go somewhere else. <BR/>Someone who knows such loss, but by Man not Nature.<BR/>My prayers are with you and the The Patient! <BR/>((( Circle of Hugs )))<BR/><BR/>SherrieQuilt knithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055441899074240808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-57933441618141213282007-10-24T23:25:00.000+00:002007-10-24T23:25:00.000+00:00Beautiful dahlia, I just love the red.Wishing you ...Beautiful dahlia, I just love the red.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you the best for your family.
