Thank you, everyone 
If I'd really scrambled Friday night when I heard, I maybe could've gotten out of here before the snowstorm (which did wreak havoc; the roads were impassable). I'll regret not trying harder to go. Although I know she would've told me to stay home. Anyway, she deserved to have people know how lovely she was.
Tonight I got a note from the niece of my "other" honorary aunt, a university friend of Mom's, informing me that she died in January. Jeez. "Aunt" Margaret lived farther away and we only ever met in person a few times, but she did send me cards every year, (we have the same birthday) and after Mom died she continued to correspond. We spoke on the phone a couple of times recently. I'll miss her cards and notes too
She looked very much like Queen Elizabeth in the latter's happy smiley photos.
Well... dolly photography as therapy again, I guess.
This week's pic is double-dipping with the Dal House challenge because I have soooo many photos to deal with right now. If you have a Dal and want to join some fun, the current month's challenge is a photo scavenger hunt with a variety of themes. The first one is "Favourite Things".
One of Samantha's favourite things is, little sisters.
