It's a good thing you mentioned this. I had completely forgotten about it. I received news today that my Mamaw (grandmother) passed away as a result of the hurricane. As I'm sure you can understand, I am upset. I will try to ensure that I get the sign-ups posted but it might not be until Friday. I'm sorry for everyone who has been waiting. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi all.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. I'm feeling a little better even though I can't stop crying randomly. Honestly, we all knew that it was going to happen eventually because Memaw was a young 99 years old at her last birthday in July. She has always joked that her years of smoking and drinking bourbon had preserved her well into her later years. The biggest shock is that there is truly no telling how much longer she would have been with us without this hurricane.

The other awful thing is that the family home has been severely damaged. The house and surrounding trees have been standing since before Louisiana was a part of the US and it is just heart wrenching to know that it is in such bad shape. The worst thing is that Memaw's rose garden out back got crushed when the big old magnolia out back fell over and crushed the back of the house. It's a double blow to have lost her and the roses she loved so much. I know it seems small and petty but it is still hard.

I've gone ahead and posted the sign-up for the swap. At this point, I prefer to stay busy so it's good for me to take the time to do this. I hope y'all enjoy.

Thank you all again for your condolences. You are all wonderful and your thoughtfulness is yet another reminder why this is such a wonderful place to hang out!

Shauna, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. It's such a devastating blow to find out about a loss from something so unexpected as this. I'll be thinking about you in the days to come. I don't have a grandmother (mammaw, as we call it) living any more, but I miss both of them terribly. Lots of days I think about something they told me, or one of their favorite recipes, or just their love and kindness.

Shauna, I understand your pain over the roses. They were a part of your grandmother. Maybe you can buy a rose bush in memory of your grandmother and plant it at your home to be a reminder of your memories with her?

That's a wonderful idea. I'll have to follow her watering instructions of including at least a fifth of bourbon each week!
