Still trying to take in my Aunt Sis’s passing still really hasn’t hit me

We’re in Santa Fe and starting to wind down from the year. ‘Diane and I took what would normally be a short run this morning… But the 7200 feet elevation made it seem like a marathon 🙂



The sun is so bright out here they were perpetually squinty… It’s really amazing weather… It’s cold in the shade at hot in the sun. I love it

I’m afternoon Diane and I went down to Max and Becky’s to take a walk at the dog park with Violet.… Beautiful high desert…

Becky’s parents ‘George and Doreen showed up around four… And they got to see the house after not having seen it for 2 years… It looks so great compared to when they bought it. Wells moved things painted floors finished… Such a difference

Max was showing us his computer controlled chicken door

We all went out to an early dinner at Marie’s… We’re being careful because of Covid so we’re probably going to eat and most of the time but we were able to get a table off by ourselves 

It’s fun being all together

more tomorrow

I learned this morning that my Aunt Sis died this morning at age 91. I’m still trying to take that in. She’s been part of my life since the day I was born. She was a wonderful, fun and loving part of our family . She and her husband my Uncle Phil would have celebrated their 70th (!) wedding anniversary next thursday.  Sis and Phil have three kids .. our cousins Judy, Jim and Peter. We spent a ton of time with them over the years. Sis was a ball of energy. She was always so pretty  and up for anything

here she is a couple of years ago at Phil’s 90th birthday..

Sis was my mom’s older sister and they were  very close.. I think they spoke to each other most days.

. She was the oldest surviving member of my moms family.. We are all going to really miss her .. We are going to miss Sis so much..
I love you Tanta

I woke today feeling like I had a cold coming on . these days that’s a pretty scary thing … I took all my meetings from home and kinda payed low . by afternoon I was feeling fine … i’m writing this several days later and ended up not being sick.. but it get me thinking that we really need to go back to semi quarantine-ing this winter .

this is new normal is hard to get used to
