Miscellaneous Monday

Just gonna share some random things I've come across on the Internet and saved up for just such a post...

In case you never knew that major interstates are in numerical order...

I found this book when I was going through some boxes a while back. I must have gotten this in Denmark when visiting my grandparents when I was a very little girl because I have a very clear memory of my grandma reading this to me at bedtimes. I can't tell you how much I love this book.
 
Speaking of my grandma...I thought for a few days that she had passed away at some point as one of my letters had gotten returned. First time ever in decades. A letter I sent off right after I'd gotten a note from her saying it would probably be the last one I received from her since she wasn't expecting to be able to leave her bed ever again.

I was able finally to get a hold of the assisted living facility she lives in and, it turns out, she's still alive and kicking. In fact, her 97th birthday is tomorrow. I had to re-order the flowers I'd canceled... oops...

And lastly, in sad news, my mom passed away last Wednesday, two days after my post on death... But her fight is done and my hope/wish is that she's now cavorting in pines of Oregon that she loved so much.

Have a great week...
