Good & Bad

The good part is we finally got our property taxes paid this past weekend. Almost a thousand dollars. Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bad part is a telephone call I received Saturday night from a longtime friend, Susie. She called to tell me her brother died on February 6th and her mom died just last Monday, March 12th. This news hit me pretty hard. I can't even imagine what it must be like for her losing her brother and mother so close together. I hadn't seen either of them for quite a while, but in high school most of the time I was at their house or she was at our house. Her parents were like another set of parents to me.
