Been out for a while

I suppose some of you have been wondering what the heck happened to happyapplehead - I dropped off the face of Siskiyou County for a while.  The family and I spent a couple weeks in the dessert - Lake Havasu City in Arizona.  We had a super great time and hopefully I’ll get to share a few of our adventures with you soon.  The unfortunate thing was that the day after we arrived home from vacation I received a phone call that my dear Grandma died.  So, I’ve been spending time with family and helping to settle things at Grandma’s house.

My Grandma was one of those quintesential Grandma’s - you know, the kind that bake cookies and sing you silly little kid songs and take you to the beach and let you eat candy and watch tv.  She will be missed but she is finally home after a very long life.

So, I’m sorry I’ve been so obviously absent from Siskiyoutopia.  Hope to be back ‘on the air’ soon!  Thanks for all the concerned emails!  You guys are the best!

Debbie, I am so sorry for your loss. She sounds a lot like my Grandma who passed 17 years ago. I am so grateful for the memories I have, they flood my thoughts any time I see, hear, or smell anything that reminds me of her. We are very blessed to have had them in our lives. Their legacy lives on through us when we become Grandmothers and carry on their traditions (and recipes, we always remember the food!) My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks Markay! You’re right, the food is one of the best memories!

Welcome home. Grandmas do help make the world a better place…just like you make Siskiyou County a better place. So sorry for your loss.
