I think for me, part of the reason provided me with a bit of security as I never had my parents in my town and as you said, while I knew that my company was good for them...their wisdom was so wonderful for me. I got more than I ever gave. This is actually the first town I have lived in where I don't have someone older to take casseroles to, have tea with and so on. Of course at some point here we will be the older ones...I hope someone wants to be around us! She sounds like an interesting lady. I am sure you will never forget her.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-77340717373887536812014-01-22T14:36:12.445-06:002014-01-22T14:36:12.445-06:00I love it when people have cupcakes for dinner...o...I love it when people have cupcakes for dinner...or breakfast! :) Don't be so hard on yourself about the D experience. You can eat healthy and still have a treat now & again. I think the "secret" is planning. I know I need to!<br /><br />It appears that Dawn was a very lovely and interesting lady! I love having friends that are older...so much history to learn from them. I also love my young friends ~ I think they help keep you young. I will age but I never want to be "old" mentally.<br /><br />I love Target! I go there or the dreaded Walmart for all paper and cleaning items. Some non-perishable items too. In fact, there's a Target within 3 blocks of me now. :) I was affected by the credit card hacking that went on and my bank has changed my card, pin #, etc. A real hassle!<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! It's going to be back to bitter cold here the next 2 days but nothing like you have or the NE.<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-73529609002724384022014-01-21T22:30:09.610-06:002014-01-21T22:30:09.610-06:00Lovely post and I am also loving plaid too!

Across the street is a young woman of 36 that spends a lot of time here with me. Copies me and watches my house for mail trucks and cars. At first, not knowing her, I was sort of put off..but before long..I loved her company and how she loved being with me.<br />Then I got to the bottom of your story and read your friends name and gasped.<br />My youngest daughter's name is Dawn Eileen. Funny how you always think a name you have chosen is so original. I guess it sort of shocked me.<br />She sounds like she was a delightful person. I am sorry you lost her.Wsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-30729904614207086522014-01-21T20:23:54.062-06:002014-01-21T20:23:54.062-06:00Hi Jane!

My deepest condolences Jane!<br />I am afraid I would handle the advent of a new diet the same way you did, one last cupcake binge, and then I would resent the diet the whole time.

My son ended up in ER after he started a couple weeks before me. It scared me into thinking of taking it slow. I am so tired of all the diets I used to be on.
