So it's been a while.....
since last I blogged. I've just been real busy! My mother-in-law (one of them - I have 2!) took my husband, daughter & I to Cape Cod for 10 days! It was wonderful. We rented a cabin and did the whole tourist thing. The aquarium in Woods Hole, whalewatching out of Provincetown, Plymouth (and the Plimouth Plantation), and eating, eating, eating! I'm sorry, but you just can't go to the northeast and not eat lobster (and scallops, and clams, and shirmp....and don't get me started on chowder!). To say the least, I gained a few, but only a few, pounds. Just about 4 or so, so it shouldn't be too hard to get it off (she says laughingly!).
We've been home a week and things have not slowed down. My other mother-in-law is sadly dying. She had a liver transplant a month or so ago and is now rejecting the rejection drugs. She's had a few strokes since the surgury, so things can't get much dire. The docs say all they can do is make her comfortable. Waiting for someone to die is terrible. I feel bad for my little girl. She's 8 and this will be her 7th funeral. More on this later.....
