Please tell Lauren that I agree with her.

I am making a small pillow and stuffing names inside it of friends like you, so that I won't feel so terribly alone. I'm also making a little pocket and putting a tiny address book in it with phone numbers and email addresses. Perhaps Lauren would like to do the same. I may put some little treasures in it, too.

I have a great recipe for pie crust the secret from my mom. I don't celebrate since Mikey died. Now, with surgery on his anniversary...I hate November.

Maybe Lauren and I can put out a petition to go straight from October to December and eliminate this month altogether.

Love to you,
mama
