Hi, all, lookin' good all around. Hi, Billie! Glad you could make it!

I have had a houseful of people these past few days, we're down to the serious inventory and sorting process of the estate. It's a very tight, emotional time and we've run the gamut from hysterical laughter to bitter tears.

We ended yesterday with a huge feast styled after the one our parents did for us every late summer.

They're still here and there is still plenty of work to be done, but they'll all go back today and I'm kind of looking forward to some quiet and better food choices!

My brother has been making me drink Crown Royal like it's going out of style. I'm the victim here!
