This Is A Post for You, Far Away

This post is for my brother "Joe Hardy", who checks my blog faithfully every day, and I haven't written anything for six weeks. I love you!

I spent all day yesterday with my grandma. I stopped and bought her a pecan roll (which she LOVES) on the way to her house. We hung out and watched TV and talked, and ate lunch and cookies and chocolates she had bought early for Valentine's Day, and talked about a trip I might take to the Southwest this spring, and looked up visitor websites on the internet, and watched Forensic Files (we always watch sports or crime shows--one of our favorites is Cops) and just generally had a good time.

I needed it. Not only have I not been able to spend quality time with her for a long time, but it's been a rough week with my work. This time of year is always difficult, and I've been waiting for the shoe to drop. Drop this week it did with a vengeance. (As I told Joe, "These people are STRAIGHT TRIPPIN'!")

Not that I'm surprised. But it wears one down. For this reason, I am going to take a lovely Sunday Afternoon Nap.

Far away
So far away
This is a song for you
Far away from me."
