  2. Lovely photo of Gail. It doesn't seem possible that a year has passed already.
    That vacation will soon be forgotten with that mountain of work to get through.

    When I took that photo of Gail and Nobby, we had no idea it would be but a mere month later that she would be with us no more... it was just too darned quick, and the blog circle is a little darker for her absence.

    As for the photo challenge - you nailed it. I've faced something not very different from that in days of yore! YAM xx

  5. That's a lovely photo of Gail. 💕

    If I had a mountain of paperwork like that, I'd turn around and walk out. 😆

  7. how quickly this year has passed, and I love this photo of Gail and Nobby. Thanks for the memories, she will always be missed. my kitchen table looks a lot like this desk. I always complained when I went back to work after vacation that being off was not worth it when I came back. Even though someone did my work, there was always the left overs, and not the good kind

  8. I hope she gets her work done before Christmas! Gail and Nobby were the best and we miss them all the time. She passed way too young.

  13. I didn't know Gail but she must have been a very special and kind person as I read comments about her and your tribute to her with your acrostic poem.
    The photo this week is kinda scary! I never worked at a desk, I worked retail I kept moving! I enjoyed your poem, C!

  19. Has it really been a year? I loved her blog, then I can't remember if she stopped doing it or I just lost track of it. (years ago) Thank you for doing a memorial for her.
    And that poem is spot on!
