ONCE AGAIN!!

I am enjoying a well deserved time off from work. Our restaurant is closed and will not re-open till Friday. That means I am not doing much other than resting, shopping, eating and trying to keep sane amongst the craziness of the season. Melissa has done well with keeping up after every one's shopping list. I have merely been the bag carrier from store to car. The end is near though, a few more things to buy and then it should all be over before I return to work.

Tuesday I am driving to L.A. to a wake. A cousin of mine, whom I grew up with as a kid, passed away. He had to be about my age. It is quite sad given to the season and the fact that he is survived by his wife and a couple of kids. I had not seen him for a few years and it just so happens that I saw him last month when I went to L.A. for the "Quinceaniera", where he was catering the party. We did talk, reminisced about our time in L.A. then about a couple of weeks after that, he fell at home, went into a coma and just last Friday he passed.
As I have personally learned, life goes on.....
No matter what.

I'm so sorry, Cisco. What a sad thing to happen. I hope his family has lots of love and support right now.

Oh Cisco, how sad. And how awful for the family left behind, particularly at this time of year.

On a happier note ...

Just dropping by to say hi, and to wish you a very Merry Christmas, and a happy and safe New Year. Hope to drop by more often in the new year.

Take care, Meow
