I can't believe I haven't asked you to be my friend yet... pals?

Katie - it's been a while since I've logged in, and your post about your WEDDING!!! was the first thing I read... How completely WONDERFUL for you - your story has renewed faith in my heart that there IS more love out there for you - for ALL of us - if we are brave and open enough to receive it... I am sending you and Glenn BIG love and light... this holiday season will be so special for you... your favorite little naughty mouthed pal, Sara, aka pot clanger

Thanks, pot clanger. Every holiday/occasion that passes comes with a challenge. Buck always made sure he showered me with a "treat" of some sort on Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter...you get the idea. Since June 18th, the plug has been pulled and I don't get any notices or treats. I didn't even get an Easter card this time. Guess I'll have to resort to sending cards to myself.

Hi Katie - I am in Central Coast region of California - the southern most part of it, tho. And now I only have Tessa - my Charlie developed a freak nasal cancer that was diagnosed in late Sept of '08 and I had to put her down in early January. I put her pics up anyway - I miss my girl every day. Thanks for reaching out. I felt so silly talking about my dog, when you lost your husband! but all hearts break the same way... I hope you have a lovely Easter...

I just viewed your album, "The girls," and I'm in love. I don't know where you live but, if nearby, I'd babysit in a New York minute. They look like border collies, yes? Beautiful.

Thank you, pot clanger, for your kind and supportive comments. They help and mean a lot. I still want to wake up from this bad, bad dream and find Buck here with me.

Hi Katie - haven't been around here in a bit, but just thought I'd send a hello your way, and send wishes for a beautiful Sunday to you, and for healing to find it's way to your heart...
