PenniF, I am so sorry. It is shocking to lose someone that young and suddenly. I often find it difficult to mourn when you don't have a lot of people around that were also friends (someone to talk to that knew the person). So sad to lose such good person.
Judith, it's surreal to see you mention they are picking strawberries NOW!!! I just got home from work and had three layers on plus my heaviest winter coat. Gloves, hat, scarf. And I'm making hot chocolate right now. It's supposed to be colder tomorrow and I think more wind. Just a few more weeks, though, and we should be through the worst of this.
