Thanks Bob. Just a small affair, only about 20 people ( half is family). Quick service in the yard ( or inside if it's raining) then BBQ and cake then on to playing pool and ping pong!!!

That sounds like the perfect wedding to me, Camp. I know it will be wonderful and fun, too.
Sounds like the perfect kind of wedding to me too, Camper.
Ketabcha, thanks so much for posting about your dear Annie. I'm so sorry that you're still hurting but I understand it so well.
Thanks to everyone for the sympathy posts. Youall are truly my family and I love each one of you.
I'm trying to keep busy by deep-house cleaning and purging. If I sit down, I start thinking and then I start boo-hooing. I know some people will think it's excessive to grieve so much. When other beloved dogs died, I was working and had other activities, so I had distractions to help me through those times. But now that I'm retired and cant drive very far (no more than a couple of miles, due to my stroke), I dont have any such distractions.
And Queenie's and my lives were so entwined. Everything I do, even taking my meds -- we both had pill dispensers and took our pills together twice a day -- reminds me of her.
I so appreciate your concern but dont worry about me. I'll be ok. It will just take me a while.
Oh, look at what was just delivered. My wonderfully empathetic 29-year-old grandson sent me flowers in sympathy for losing Queenie. He's putting himself through college and can ill afford to spend money on flowers, so that makes me appreciate them all the more.
The fact that he sent the flowers, when he's so broke that he often goes without necessities, just warms my heart. And the fact that I havent seen him in 15 years, because he's always lived so far away, just breaks it too.
He's been living in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area for the past 10 years or so. He goes to college full-time there and has two part-time jobs. I also send him a little $$$ each month.
Well, they went and postponed the wedding... decided to wait for warmer weather. They really want an outside wedding. Can't say I blame them but you watch, the 23rd will be a beautiful day!
I'm sorry Ketabcha - both on your loss and my having missed this earlier

You will be sad about the loss of Queenie but I promise you that it will eventually become more bearable.

There is a massive amount of love in those beautiful flowers, TFW. You are loved and that is no surprise to me.
