Spoonful of Comfort!

I got the most amazing Care Package last week from Brother, SIL and Niece!
This company was founded by a man whose mother was diagnosed with cancer while he lived far away.  He started this company in her memory, sending Care Packages he would want to send to his mother.  The ladle is high quality.  The Chicken Soup and Rolls were the best we've ever had! (The soup arrived super cold; sooo well packaged.)  The cookies are in the freezer until April, since we're not eating sugar until then.  But WOW!  The packaging itself was a glory to behold!  The INTERIOR of each box is colourful and cheerful,
and the boxes can all be easily turned inside out and reused!! 
Truly Brilliant!! 💛 We love SPOONFUL OF COMFORT!

Eight Months

 
It's been 8 months today since Shiloh (aka PhD*Son) died in the helicopter crash.

We have this sticker on our kitchen window, much the way Gold Star families
put a star in their window when their loved one died in the service. 
Shiloh designed and lead the process by which the American Oystercatcher birds increased by 45%, so this seems fitting.

Blue Sky Day

If you haven't seen yesterday's blog news, please start there today.
You'll see why.
