Wonderful news for the Awkward Widow.
My good friend Gina is flying over the night before Thanksgiving (almost midnight!) and staying for a week. A few years ago she discovered she is allergic/intolerant of gluten, dairy, eggs and cane sugar. Which might sound like we might have a boring dinner. But NO! She is a total gourmet foodie. Leslie and Didier have already agreed to join forces for this holiday and she is also gluten free (in fact a GF baker here on Maui). So we are going to rock it! In fact, they want to do ALL the food and have relegated me to crudites, a vegetable side dish and wine. Best. Deal. Ever!
Two days ago, a long term friend in Portland called to say "remember when we talked about me coming to Maui" ... well, M'Linda (her adult daughter) and I are coming for Christmas. Actually, I didn't remember any serious arrangements but gosh am I happy! Now I have a built in holiday party ... for a whole week.
I think Mr. Ralph and the cosmos have teamed up to help me through this first set of holidays.
Thanks, buddy!

How great is that that your friends are rallying around you on this particular set of holidays, knowing how hard it will be for you to be alone! A good friend of mine visited from out of state around the 7 month marker and it truly was healing to have someone I could freely talk about the good times with my husband. All planing and cleaning will keep your mind busy until they get here. Great news!
