::runs away to bake Emergency Cake for Cindy::

There was cake at Ben's Moving On ceremony, the other day. I had a piece. I wanted a second piece, but decided that might be unseemly. I thought, "What Would Amy Do?" and ate it with gusto.

Sail, I can't remember if I'm commented on your fire-at-work. I'm glad you weren't there when it happened, and that your area came out okay.

Trudy, good news on Dallas! When do you expect the biopsy results?

Dallas, good dog! amore biscuts for you .

and Beej, I am glad all these things seem to be just the craziness that must happen before a big event.

I'm not sure when we hear from the path lab. Early next week?

I thought, "What Would Amy Do?" and ate it with gusto.

Bwah! Also, how true. I like to cruise the dessert table at any occasion several times. "Oh, there's cake?" I say innocently (hoping all crumbs from the previous piece have been wiped away...)

NO. MORE. PROBLEMS! please?

All kinds of ~ma, Beej!

Happy birthday Epic!

Happy anniversary Andi and Daniel!

I'm so glad the surgery went well, Trudy, and hope that it's not too difficult paying for it. Windfall ~ma to you!

Frosted Flakes:

My mom just emailed. She's an interim lay minister at their church (she's not ordained, but she's filling in with pastoral care, etc., while they look for a replacement for the minister who retired). She had to visit a 91-year-old member's home today, and he had passed away in the garden. She had to tell his wife, who went out and put his hat on his head because he "always wore it".

Can't imagine having to do that. I'm still not sure if that's *why* Mom went over, or if it was just chance, but wow. I love my mom.

Thanks. I'm very good at worrying about money so I don't worry about cancer. Its a morbid little gift.

I'm so glad Dallas is okay!

Oh Amy, that's so sad. I'm so glad your Mother was with her.

Wow, Amy. That must have been difficult. How good for the man's wife, that your mom was there.
