What a spooky world. The last couple of days I've happened on notices of birthdays for three buddies. All cyber pals. Two dearest ladies have gone on to better climes. I miss them deeply. Another I met on Bubble. We got to be pretty good at chatting back and forth. He lives or lived just down the line from me physically. He ended up with a nasty cancer. He loved Tillamook cheddar. He was a Vet. I wrangled his address out of him and one Christmas sent him a block of Tillamook cause he sounded so sad, writing about waiting for the third of the month so that his little check would come in and he could get a little chunk of that cheese. He hasn't contacted me in over a year. I worry that there is a sad reason why. Anyway, happy birthday sir and thank you for your service. I wish you well.

@infatuatedbby @infatuatedbby I think it was a raspberry yogurt that was so tasty.

We become dear friends with people we meet online sometimes... And we do get worried when we do not hear from them for some time... I hope he has a happy birthday where ever he is...

Tillamook does make some amazing cheese, not the point of this I know, but we used to eat that cheese when we lived in Oregon. can finally get it down here.

@Jessicalynnt Allergies are hammering me right now. I have enough throat stuff. Cheese seems to be adding to the issue so for now none of that for me.
