susandennisMy mother's mom - my wonderful Grandma was relentlessly happy and cheery. When she entered her 80's, she got a little cranky but only when the stupid cafeteria people put broccoli in her plate - after she'd ask them not to about fifty bajillion times.
But once, after Grandpa turned into a broccoli and she lost the second to last of her 9 siblings, she sadly said to me, "Everybody's dying." She quickly recovered her Pollyanna face and style but I remember her words and lately, I keep saying it to myself.
Tonight it's Henry Gibson and Mary Travers.

My door to the hallway is open as usual and I just heard a ruckus. Yapping near the front door and the next thing I knew Travis was tearing ass from the door to the living room. And then I heard a deep voice saying 'come! no! come! no!" By the time I got to the hallway, I saw a little chihuahua (who is nearly 1/2 the size of Travis) about halfway down the hall to my living room making his last threat before he turned tail and followed his father home. His father is a giant of a guy who lives about 5 doors down. He's a nice guy and his dog is adorable. And Travis is on alert.
