I died in the evening of December 26, 2017.  I was in the Gregory Wing of St. Andrew’s Village, Boothbay Harbor, Maine.  I had the disease my husband and I feared most, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, insidious and incurable.  We finally got an accurate diagnosis in 2014 by travelling to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.  They suspected this disease on our first visit and this was confirmed within two weeks.

February is a month that always seems longer than its 28 days. It has not helped that this year we have had bright, sunny, and warm days that lull us into believing that spring is just around the corner, only to be awakened by another Sunday snowstorm. It is a good time to browse old cookbooks for recipes less familiar and sometimes overlooked or forgotten.
