It is the insomnia kid again! Guess I am rehearsing Danica's departure in the morning, and our return to Colorado to attend the memorial for Ken's uncle Ray and for me to resume care of my mom.  It has been so comfortable to have Sneaks home and have enjoyed Andrew's company in the evenings with tales of his new job. Tonight it was almost like the old days when Andrew and Danica were best buds as Danica bestowed all of her camp stove wisdom on her brother (he received a backpacking stove for graduation). Looking forward to seeing Ken's aunt Margie and cousin Joyce tomorrow night. I need to sleep because Ken may need me to do some of the driving tomorrow. I will try to develop a theme with this blog but right now it is nice to just share my thoughts with anyone interested in reading them. It has been a long time since I have written. I read an old letter to Danica today, a letter I wrote in 1974 that Mom had saved. It took me back and made me realize that I don't write letters anymore. I think this blog is going to be me writing letters again. I am about to begin a new phase in my life and this can be a way to document the process. Thanks for reading. I probably won't be able to write again until I get to Centennial at mom's.
Your friend,
