Sweet thoughts
I got a picture of gardenias to remember the sweet smell of fresh flowers. The fragrance of gardenias will brighten up the car we drive and ride in. The gardenias make a nice addition to the kitchen table. I like holding on to good thoughts when times get rough. My sister has a neighbor who passed away from cancer. She was a nice lady and had recently gone through a divorce. The memorial for her will be held Sunday evening. Her remains will be flown back to Puerto Rico. This was closure to the chapter in her life. I think she really connected with Puerto Rico and here she was done playing the good wife, grandmother, mother, cook and seamstress. Mom was talking about how the wind has picked up over at the beach. Most of the summer it has been still with high humidity and extreme heat. Mom says I should write about getting the Monk's bread from Publix. It was a two month challenge. It makes cooking raisin toast that much sweeter.

It's a shame that your sister's friend got divorced and then died from cancer. It is a terrible thing to die all alone, especially of cancer. I feel sorry for her. I was in the cancer way-of-life for many years with my first wife. You would think that people wouldn't want to talk about having cancer but many of them do. I think that it helps them cope. So my sympathy for your sister's friend is genuine and I feel that way toward all people with cancer. A terrible disease. I remember Monk's bread. It is a high quality dense bread. A one pound loaf is so small compared to a standard loaf of bread which is so soft. I use to eat it when I was young. I would try to imagine being a monk in an abby sitting at a wooden table and drinking from a wooden goblet while eating my monks bread. Wow, what a vivid imagination I had. It is a good bread and I enjoyed eating it. It makes really good dry sandwiches. I ate dry sandwiches for years and years, especially when I lived in Arizona. Enjoy your monks bread and just pretend that you are a nun in abbey sitting at a wooden table...... Lew
