> My wife's auntie came over from Washington state last week. Boy was she full of hugs and kisses. She was quite a jolly sort. It was not what I was expecting because her son died about 2 months ago. I thought that was curious but I don't really know her that well. Boy, life is one dangerous place - any one of us can go at any time!
