    Just chillin'... time for some hot cocoa and a fudge brownie!!

    Another memorial/funeral service yesterday for a dear friend; was invited to give a 5 minute talk where I shared 2-poems I thought might be appropriate:

    God's Garden

    (Unsure who the author is and I added 4-more lines of my own at the end)

    God looked around His garden
    And found an empty place.
