	Another month has dragged by, yet in hindsight, it passed by
quickly. I’m still functioning on automatic numbness. Georgie, my little dog,
sees to it that I start each day at a decent time – for his morning walk.
Otherwise, I believe there were several days that I’d have pulled the blanket
over my head and stayed in bed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	
	My dear husband died Thursday, March 6 at 5:50 A.M. Even
though he was under Hospice care and I knew it was coming, the loss has been
devastating. Up until his last two days, he had brief moments of clarity that
brought joy to all who were near. There is a huge emptiness in my life without
him. I’ve [...]]]></description>

	The last few weeks my life has felt like a blur, I will
spare you the details. But my husband continued to fall at home and ended up in
the hospital again. Now he is home again - on Hospice care. I also have 24/7
caregiver assistance. (The caregivers are absolutely wonderful with my husband
and so very kind [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;m a bit late with my December blog. My world turned upside down when my husband fell and broke his hip in early December. I spent the majority of last month in hospital ERs and in-patient rooms. And then daily visits to rehab at a nursing home. It was wonderful to bring him home December [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I write this blog on a blustery cold winter day. My husband is napping, cozy by the fireplace. Our little dog curled up on his lap, just the way he likes it. We hosted 18 family members for Thanksgiving this year and created more precious family members. Everyone pitches in to help and it was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Happy Halloween to all my &#8220;Blog Friends&#8217;.&#160; Again, I&#8217;m amazed at how quickly another month has slipped by. The weather&#8217;s been extraordinarily gorgeous, frosted pumpkins at night, clear beautiful blue skies almost every day. Perfect autumn weather. Though the trees on the hillsides are now mostly barren with naked limbs. When the sun doesn&#8217;t shine, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	It is a cool rainy Sunday afternoon in western Pennsylvania; the leaves have just started to change colors. Yes, fall is still and probably always will be, my favorite change of season.&#160; I&#8217;ve started cutting back my perennial flowers for winter. My geraniums look like they could still win first place at the county fair, [...]]]></description>

The McCauley Reunion was held at the family homestead in Leatherwood, PA on August 11.&#160; It&#8217;s always such fun to spend time with the cousins, eating watermelon under the shade trees [...]]]></description>

We have had lots of family and friends visiting, some for several days and some for only a few hours. We&#8217;ve made wonderful [...]]]></description>
