It's official. My DH and I are now the lead generation since the last living grandparent of my kids passed away yesterday.

It's a odd feeling. I haven't read anything about how you feel when all grandparents are gone and you are the oldest generation.

You know, Cathe people are the best, aren't they. I have so many friends now in Cathenation.

I feel like one big happy family!.

Don't despair though, if you haven't friended me yet, there's always room for more.

That's all this blog is about today, just a great big
Thank you!
