Life in the rental house; The process, internal and external, of life after a fire; A loss even after the fire, during a terrible ice storm when I was in the hotel a tree fell into my beloved Magic Ship; my daughter brings me daffodils from my garden to cheer me; the pugs love sunning in the window and are amazed to see traffic and people which they never saw in our quiet little cottage life; and, I am trying to live by something my mother said even through 5 years of cancer until she died, "Every day's a good day, it is what you make it." I move forward taking her motto to heart, and doing my best to live up to it...
