My grandmother, Helen Margaret Clark passed away yesterday morning.
Grammy
I will remember you
with apples
and sanddollars,
with the softest hands
and a penchant for spelling.
With flowers,
the piano,
and an astonishing memory for
the names of my exes.
I will remember you
with sweetness,
and noodles,
and love.

January 9th - It's amazing the writing I got done Monday night when I turned the TV off.
January 10th -The best banana pudding - or pudding in general - EVER and tea in a fun brewer at Rooster and Moon Cafe.
January 11th - Due to the crazy snow Wednesday morning, I went home early to work from home, and I am so so grateful this is even an option!
January 12th - Somebody reads my blog and here she is! Hooray to Ryann!
January 13th - Watching Hugo in 3D with my friend Lyndsay.
January 14th - I am grateful that Grammy is no longer suffering.
January 15th - I am so grateful for technology that allows me to talk to my friend Kristy in Australia and see her baby Mia!
