So, in addition to a great Saturday, Sunday am, got a call, my friend Sally decided December 3rd was her day to go. Damn if she did not command me to change my plans, not come to LA and she went on her own terms. Bless her, I will miss her, but I carry many happy memories and much inspiration from this feisty, smart, funny and very wise woman.
Of course, Sally is now laughing, her daughter has asked her memorial service be held on the 9th, the day I was originally going to be at her house for our farewell date, and I cancelled my flight as requested, of course. So today I book a flight that will cost me much more Sally! I'll be flying down for the day, be on Sally's patio as originally planned, along with a whole mess of other people to say farewell as she is scattered on the beautiful hillside on their property.
A great friend to many and I was surprised to see her name in back of the Silly Symphonies book. I guess it's true, she knew everybody. Or so it would seem.
