76* where did the day go?

Where did the day go?? I can't believe it's late and dark so quickly. Mostly, I tried to get well and had many "Tuesday blues" (as my cousin Marissa put it) moments. Today would have been my father-in-law's birthday. I always thought it was very special that Kenny was born the day before his namesake. Close enough to have that special connection, yet each having a day of their own. This is the first year that the family has lived without them both. I wonder how the Cipolla's are dealing with the losses. Everyone seems to be so disconnected now.

Kenny's Yin-Yang light bulb

 I took a couple new pictures today. I found this really cool light bulb I'd forgotten Kenny bought because it was still in its box.

Until tomorrow...
