My Grandma Annabelle passed away last night. She was 91, almost 92 years old. I had planned on taking her out to dinner to Anthony's, her favorite restaurant in San Diego, but early yesterday morning she had a "heart event," which due to the fact she was under hospice care, was treated with pain management, as opposed to a full-blown medic ride and hospital stay.

Confusing. ;)
Oh brother...how can you not understand? ...lol...I love a beautiful handbag.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I bought myself a manbag it would all make sense? Think I'll stick with my overpocketed trousers for now. :)
