A Sad Passing

A friend of ours passed away and will be buried today in Duluth. She was a very sweet person--someone with no pretensions and no bitterness about suffering with cancer for years, someone with a sparkling laugh and a bright voice wrapped in the most pleasant and natural Minnesota accent, a voice that invited you to eat and be happy. I think she would have enjoyed the picture below.

Last night we discovered that Willow and Bingo have apparently reconciled (that's Willow, the old lady, on the left). If I've ever seen a more blatant and shameful display of affection, I'm very sure I don't remember it, and I'm glad we didn't walk in on them any sooner than we did. Click on the picture to see it in more graphic detail (if you are that sort of person).
