Looking at the previous post’s date, I realize again that my absence of blogging began the day we first, truly, began to understand that my wife’s mother was seriously ill. Things dipped sharply from that point, in an accelerating downward curve culminating in her death, twenty-eight days later. Mary Lou Kruse is survived by her husband Bob, daughter Betsy, and grandchildren Vivian and Edith.
I’d post the slide show I made from a mix of my own and old family photos, but my Macintosh is being a brick. I will endeavor to publish it at some point….
