A great day ending with bad news :(....

We spent the day with long-time old friends, mucking around on the Pawcatuck River in Westerly RI in their Whaler....had a great day re-connecting, having a nice picnic lunch.....enjoying the August perfect day.

On arriving home I called some of our camping friends to reconnect as she had a heart attack a month or so ago...and found out that in the interim she's home and doing well but that HE has been diagnosed with liver cancer.  Bummer does not BEGIN to describe this turn of events :(.
