Random pause

Remember those a-z challenges? Fun, right? The first year I bumbled along on my own alliteration adventure. The following two years I went with themes very near and dear to me and many of you sang along. I was also a minion...

...part of Tina's Terrific Team. She became a fun friend who provided great support and comments.  She was apparently easily amused as well, which worked great for my ego. She provided a great window into her world, full of spunk and Swedish. 

Her blogging had become sporadic as of late, so I was excited to see what she was up to when I saw a post from her blog show up in my feed the other day...until I realized the post was from her family, letting us know she was gone.

I choose today to pause a random moment for Tina, and to salute her with thoughts of creepy monkeys and two other things that will remind me of her...a classic song and all things Swedish. Rest in Peace.
