Well, I am back from the summer of Phoenix to the spring (read snow) of the mountains. I did return to the news that me next door neighbor died while I was away and I am so sad. Marie was a true character. She would introduce herself on the phone as "Marie, your crazed neighbor down the road" and I think there was honesty in that identification. Altho she was raised in West Springfield, MA she lived her life as a small rancher in the west. She was a tough woman with a good soul and I will really miss her.
