No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Happy All Saints Day!

But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
the saints triumphant rise in bright array;
the King of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

My day began with moist eyes, make that soaking my cheeks, as my sister, Lori, sent me a message. She reported lighting a candle at an All Saints' Eve service at their church last night in memory of Timmy. Wow, what a way to start the day!

Besides sniffling this morning, I am also chuckling as I am watching "Roseanne". I don't know how I can find this funny especially since this episode is one where Dan loses his business and had to have a fire sale at his motorcycle shop. They are in danger of losing their house and the cable is getting shut off....and so on. Besides all that, their daughter and her boyfriend sneaked off and got married because her boyfriend lost his job at Dan's shop. He was offered a job in Minneapolis and wanted to take it, but did not want to leave his girlfriend. One disaster piled upon another....Yet somehow these people manage to find humor in things. "You know nothing of my powers, do you, boy?" as Roseanne has a nose to nose chat with her new son-in-law. Funny stuff! Now the two sisters are saying good-bye to each other, in a tender moment, telling each other they love them. Darlene asked, "Did you ever know that you're my hero?" to which Becky replied, "You are the wind beneath my wings", which reminded me of Lori and me! Oh, no, not again!
