I know that everyone calls when you loose a loved one, but after 6 months, folks forget that you are still alive and even more lonely.

For that very reason we have tried to keep contact going regularly through this past year. There are about a half dozen other families that have done that too so this has been a helpful thing I think. We (Lloyd and I) discussed a couple of weeks ago that we need to step things up again because of the anniversary of the death coming up. I have already noticed that she has been appreciative. Today, for the first time, she finally took me up on my invitation to come over and just keep my company while I do my work so we can visit. We visited while I planted and it was good. She had finished packing up all his clothing this morning and said she just needed to get out of the house. I was *so* glad that she did this. And when Lloyd got home from work we went and ate, had a wonderful afternoon and evening all together.

Good grief! And it just dawned on me that I forgot to mention the pennies again! DOH!!!!

Well there is an excuse for another visit.

Thank you for being so special and helping folks, they are blessed for knowing you.

Glad the dinner went well, it sounded so good, in your other post.

Have you thought of making pickles out of the veggies that are extra, maybe with a hot pepper in them?
