Sue, Myrna...always sisters. |
Regrettably, I have to share that Myrna, my beloved sister; a mom, grandmother, aunt and great-grandmother, left us on Thursday, September 23, 2021.
The Future
A few weeks ago at morning coffeetime, Myrna and I had discussed where we wanted to go with The Iowa Housewife...and had decided that I would continue, only on Thursdays and Sundays. She was not feeling up to the cooking and the chores involved in getting posts on the blog, but she enjoyed her interaction with our friends who commented and wanted us to continue as long as we could.
Starting next week, I will start posting on Thursdays and Sundays, and we will see how it goes. I want to honor her wishes, and after so many years, I still enjoy blogging. The time we shared working together on the blog...really a retirement hobby for us, brought us even closer together as siblings.
Our family and I want to thank all of you who took the time to share your thoughts and prayers with us.
Sue
