Day after the Day of the Dead

'Tis the season to remember those who have died. Here are those on my virtual altar: Daddy (Jack Coode) Mama (Mildred Sharp Coode) Michael McKenzie, my nephew Jack McKenzie, my brother-in-law My cousins:  Vincent, Peter and David Coode, all brothers -- doesn't seem fair for one family to lose so many at such young ages Annelle Shelton Foster Larry Luster Lynne Jones Daue (a dear cousin-in-law) Uncles Joe, Victor and T Coode Uncles Jesse, Tom, Jack and Bill Sharp Aunts Mag, Austin, Sr. D Coode Aunts Dorothy, Ebbie, Frances and Peggy Sharp And their spouses Roy, Bill, Ray B, Liz, Ellen, Peggy, Mary Margaret, Ray D, Billy and Hugh My dear friend Lynn Holmes who was so good to me And now my cousin Margaret Brandt Carruthers, who died yesterday at the age of 61.

Year in review (age 51)

Going to lectures, drinking, sitting in airplanes, going to book group, eating, drinking, looking at trees, listening to live music, drinking ...

Anywhoo, here it is . Not a bad year. Maybe I'll say more about it later.
