I often think that Charley would be mortified at the shit hole my house(s) have become, and sometimes the knowledge and memory make me laugh and giggle, sometimes they make me irritated because he’s not here to pick all this shit up (hey, he promised to do his share! he’s seriously slacking these past 3 1/2 years), sometimes unbelievably angry that he’s dead and I’m alone, and sometimes sad. You just never know when a particular memory will trigger you or set you off–either for good or bad.

Glad you had a nice trip to NY (and the one to Nashville too). And like you, I have some amazing pictures of Charley that I took mere weeks before he died. And I treasure them greatly, particularly this one. Otherwise I’d have no pictures of him on his bicycle, during a race. It was the one and only time I tried…much less got a good shot out of it (the other dozen or more sucked). And it was a race he nearly won too.

And he was dead 13 days later.

I love that you put bows in Maddy’s hair. It is those little things that make what you are doing to incredible, taking the time to do “mommy” touches for Maddy, and for Liz’s sake. That is awesome that Liz yelled at the burglars. She sounds like one tough cookie. I wish we could have known her.

I want to eat at that birdcage place!! What’s it called?

That’s a very scary story about the burglary and I’m so sorry about the jewelry.

EXCUSE ME, old chap. I think you’ve half-inched some of our stuff.

Or words to that effect.

And hey, no girling around from me. You’re right that Liz would be pissed when the house is untidy. Deep down, and underneath it all, that’s why we loved them, right?

My friend told me about that restaurant with the birdcages! It sounds super fun, and probably a little trippy…haha.

I am officially all caught up on your blog! Hopefully all is well, and I am looking forward to meeting you, Madeline and all the wonderful creeps on Sunday. Hoping for good weather!
