I disappeared , cops were called!
Yesterday morning , my friend Rosemary called me and asked me if I would like to spend the day with her.

Of course , I answered . I have known Rosemary 47 yr , she is one of my oldest and dearest friends.


Meanwhile back at the ranch , my daughter , Melanie is frantically trying to call me.


when she couldn't contact me , she called her sisters

and her brothers


and her aunts

No one knew where Midge was

so Melanie called the cops


They came with sirens and flashlights , paying special attention to the woods and the lake

NO me to be found anywhere


Andy , my son was ready to drive the four hours it would take him to get here.

Carissa , my grand daughter booked a flight from Florida (I am in Indiana)


Then my daughter in law thought to check the last call made on my phone.

I was found!!

I will never go any farther than my mail box without letting someone know

I promise

to make this all make sense, I am 66 and I live alone and my kids are good little worry warts

6. they love their Mom
I love their Mom too, so totally understand where their coming from, although i am not sure i wouldn't have (over)reacted in the same manner. Glad their concern was for naught. :loveya: :hug:

9. Given the loss you just experienced, I think they reacted very
appropriately. It seems to me that your loving daughter was concerned about both your physical well being and your state of mind during this sad time.

You're a lucky lady.

14. = sigh =




I know. I always told myself that if I never got to meet him in person I would absolutely pay my respects at his funeral. And here I sit, half a dozen states away.


:cry:



I still can't believe he's gone.


I was telling a good friend about Ed for the first time yesterday. About twenty minutes into it my friend was crying, even though I wasn't (just as sad, but all cried out). Crying for the loss of such a beautiful spirit, even on a second-hand account. It's that way with Ed, isn't it?


:hug:
