I just wanted to let you know why I’ve been MIA the last few days and why I’ll be MIA for a few more.

First, my parents are in town, beginning Operation House Demo—and, as if remodeling craziness were not enough, my husband’s grandmother passed away over the weekend (she was 97, and her health had been dwindling for the past six months or so).

Tomorrow, we make the journey to my in-laws’—about 15 hours on the road and just an overnight stay because the hubs is currently teaching summer school—so I have been scrambling to tie up loose ends and the blog took a back seat.  Sorry!

However, please enjoy this oldie but goodie post, a tribute to my own grandmother, in my absence.

I hope you are all having a great holiday weekend—I’ll be back in a few days.
