Family in Postcards 4

Dr. Jim, G, and me at this year’s birthday dinner at The Brigantine.

G and I finally talked. Talking helps a lot. Breaks the barriers. Oh, tangled web we weave while trying to be polite.

On other notes, daughter Margot’s computer and laptop died….a well used pair. When she started to get herself together this morning to come down here for computer tech time, she couldn’t find her car keys. Hours later, she still can’t find her keys. She can’t job hunt the fire departments up there without either a car or computer. No, they are not in the car, freezer, or house…so far.

My dearest cousin ‘s granddaughter had a joyous pregnancy this year. Two days ago they couldn’t find a heartbeat. Yesterday they induced labor, and a beautiful stillborn boy was born. Both sides of the family were there to welcome him. Even out here on the far away coast, I sent prayers and cried. It’s beyond sad.
