Thanks to Stan...

A special thanks to Stan for the garlic and strawberries. Sounds like a funny combo. We're using the garlic in a pesto tonight, and I shared the strawberries with friend Debbie who lost so much in the flood. That was such a bittersweet event. Strangers got to know each other, and neighbors couldn't help each other because they were in the same boat. Cases of e-coli and lung problems are surfacing now. I wonder what the long term side effects will be, both physical and emotional. On a lighter note, Aliyah was here tonight and had a good swim. That's always refreshing. I couldn't join her tonight. Had a plumbing crisis at work, and was feeling too grubby to even be in the chlorine filled pool:) 'Hi' to Naiza and family who we saw today at the pizza place. It's always nice to get caught up on the musical family's news. Thanks also for all the folks who've helped with the flooding...they are too numerous to mention, but include the folks at Holy Family who offered prayers.
