A Sad Goodbye

This morning Parkinson’s took my sweet Grampa from us. Mom and I need a moment to reflect and grieve so we will be closed today. If you need me, Richard Jay’s “favorite oldest granddaughter” will be out in the garden smiling while she prays and remembers a wonderful man and a life well lived. ❤

The shop is closed today but we’ll be back to regular hours tomorrow. In the meantime, I’m trying to get some reading done with this highly distracting view from my back stoep. 🤷‍♀️🥰😉 #countrylife #thisisgifted
