After Tim left with Sophie this morning I decided to check facebook to see if anything interesting was happening in the world of my friends. I found 2 new friend requests from college friends. I confirmed them as friends and as I was writing to one of them a chat box from Heidi K popped up. I didn’t know you could chat on facebook! It was nice to chat with her. We used to have IM chats quite often but life got busy.
The happiness of the morning faded when I checked our messages on the home phone. One of my friends from work died. Mike had successfully fought cancer and was declared cancer free about 5 years ago. Evidently his immune system was weak and he died because of a bacterial infection. Mike was one of the hardest working and likeable people I knew and it is sad that he is no longer bringing joy to those around him.

We didn’t have to help K&T a lot today. They are settling into their new routines. We are here now to make the day a little easier and make sure Karen and Lucy aren’t alone in case of an emergency.

I’m doing some research on scenic drives in New Hampshire. We’ve seen a lot of Vermont but haven’t gone into NH so we will do some exploring over there. From what I have seen on-line NH seems to have commercialized the leaf peeping industry to a greater extent than VT. We will find out in Oct.

I just looked at Lucy with Grandma and this is what I saw.
