I’m sorry for my absence of posts the past few days. I’ve been taking another short break from blogging. My Grandfather passed away over the weekend and I decided once again to travel back to the US for a couple of weeks. This happens just three short months after the death of my Grandmother so life is a bit, well, strange right now.
This week has been a time of pondering all the wonderful memories of my grandpa, Pop, as we called him. I will miss him greatly. He had a sweet tooth that could be rivaled by few. I have no doubt that my own comes from him. I always had someone to eat the products of my hard work when I was back home and baking. I shared a lot of my baking with him over the holidays and he absolutely loved the Fruitcake Cookies I made and he was often the recipient of my Mom’s Caramel Corn that I shared with you last fall.
These are a few of the many things that will always make me think of him.
I’ll return to blogging (and reading your blogs) by next week. I’ve noticed I have several new readers in the comments and I want to say Thank You! I appreciate all my readers and each and every comment I receive. I will be back soon!
I am so sorry for your recent losses, but so happy that you have amazing memories to cherish and keep alive!
So sorry to hear about your grandfather, and well as grandmother. That’s never an easy thing to go through. But it’s so good that you have those wonderful memories to cherish and remember forever!
Take care and keep well Lori – so sorry for your loss.

My most heartfelt condolences to you and your family on your grandfather’s passing. Thank you for sharing your memories of him. Have a safe journey back home.

Oh, Lori, I’m so very sorry. Safe travels. (What is it about grandfathers and sweets? I have always believed I got my sweet tooth from my own grandfather 🙂
Lori, my thoughts are with you. I’m so sorry.
Lori, you’re in my deepest thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I had a similar thing happen with my grandparents when I was younger. My grandfather died and then my grandmother died 5 months later. We always said that they just couldnt live without eachother. Take care.

Lori, I am so sorry for your loss. It’s wonderful to her that you can look back and think of so many positives with him!
Hi Lori, I’m sorry for your loss, and you will be in my thoughts. I know much of my love for cooking came from my grandfather and losing him was very tough. I hope you are able to spend some good time with family…. and when you get back we will be here.
