I hope you are finding some comfort in good memories. But I'm sure the pain of loss never goes completely away.

Walking right past the gas cans...oh, I can see myself doing that! Especially when it's hot and I'm tired. Many details just leave the brain.

I have one balloon flower, purchased many years ago (maybe as much as 20!) at a plant sale. It's one of the last to come up in the spring, so I have often thought it wasn't going to turn up, but then it does.

Please explain more about the truck inspection. Why does that need to be done?
