It’s been a crazy, eventful month and I’m still reeling emotionally from the death of my good friend, followed closely by the death of my brother-in-law.

The flowers in that image are by my DIL’s house on Galveston Island. She told me what they are, but of course I’ve forgotten. They have nothing to do with the topic of this blog post, just something pretty to bring a smile, and maybe you already know their name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, I was scrolling
