All Star Block Party #14 ~

Wow, this year has been... horrible for us.

Drew has lost both parents {in a time span of 6 months}, we lost our precious Kita, we've had fire and floods... and today I lost one of my very dear friends.


Cathy Ramsey lost her fierce battle with ovarian cancer this morning.  She was the sweetest, funniest and strongest woman I've had the privilege to know.  She was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, tireless animal rescuer and friend.  It's been a hard day here.  I've cried many, many tears today.  Now, I'm going to celebrate her and try and be more like her.  Sorry if my post rambles tonight...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, next weeks party is going to be Fall themed!!  My favorite! I've got all my Fall stuff out and I can't wait to share it with you all.  So, be sure to get your posts together!!

    Thank you so much for the feature BUT instead of rambling about how flattered I am...instead, I want to send my thoughts and prayers your way. What a difficult year of loss you have had. The friend you lost today, had kind eyes and a warm smile. From how you described her, the world is now a dimmer place since she left it.
