Good Morning

14 years ago

Hi all. Yesterday my mom, Dora Kile...Dottie...dotmom passed away in hospice in Crosby, MN. She had asked me several days ago to keep her friends at the Kitchen Table informed of what was happening. Dora has gone home to heaven after 75 years...57 years married to her husband Al. She is survived by her husband, daughter Colleen and son Scott, her sister Terry along with many grand and great grand kids, nieces and nephews. Thanks to all of you here. She spoke often of "sitting around" the kitchen table and had many friends here. I will be back in a day or so with the Celebration of Life details.

Warm Regards,

Scott Kile

Rest in Peace sweet, Dottie. I know you are in good company and as soon as you finish greeting your loved ones you will be settling in with Trin, Mary Ann, Dave, Bonnie, Velleen and all the others. We will miss you but know that you are never further than our hearts.

Mike I love tall guys roflmao. I wonder what they see way up there?? Glad you are still bored. Well...wish you weren't but it is to our advantage :-) First year growing MG trees and I just love them! Funny thou on how different they also grow depending on where they are located at. In the ground or pots...all day sun or more shade. Lucy

Afternoon! Not a good morning here. Hopefully things will get better. Nicole, usually I'd agree with you but when you retire from the Federal Government, not so good.

Update on the day: The living room is so clean. The floor looks fantastic, the furniture is polished, fabrics are washed, cords are corralled. I’m even up to date on the Murdaugh trial, having listened to the Netflix doc at the same time. The poor kitty ventured out once the vacuuming stopped. I haven’t done much in there ever since DH moved his office home…noise, bustle, commentary, meals, etc. But now it looks so good, the dining room next door to it wants a spa day, too! For now, I’m going to collapse in a clean chair with a glass of wine and watch something entertaining.

At our old house, our stove died and for YEARS, I cooked with a 2 burner hot plate and a toaster oven. We did not replace the stove until we moved into our new house, do not know why. I guess I just made it work. Now, I always have backups to cook. In addition to the pink air fryer and toaster oven, I have an electric skillet and electric griddle (both in a beautiful shade of pink, to match everything else) just in case the stove dies and I cant replace it right away, or more likely, delivery is delayed as is was for the fridge. They are both still in the box. But I like having them, just in case. I find takeout less and less desirable now, and do not remember the last time I went through a drive through. I just feel so much better eating home made food, I cannot imagine going for a week or more eating nothing but takeout. And SO will almost NEVER eat food that is not homemade. He thinks everyone that is not me is "nasty" about cleanliness and food prep and hygiene. He's gotten worse over the years. I have a glass top stove and like it fine. Its easier to clean. I can very quickly adapt to any heat source for cooking though. My parents and sister have gas stoves, which are easy to cook on, I have an electric glass top, which took a bit of adjustment because I had to learn that the burners STAY HOT for a long time after you turn them off and you have to factor that in. Same with my stove at work, which is electric with the coils, with I find fiddly to clean and wouldn't choose that for my home. If I ever have to replace the one at home, I would get another glass top. As for my day, it's just getting started. Work work work. I MUST remember to stop by the store on my way to work tomorrow night and get the last ingredients I need to cook the finger food feast for my sister and our own Christmas feast. I need chicken and a baguette. I do NOT want to have to go to the store on Christmas Eve, after working all night, in the middle of a cooking binge. So I hope that I haven't forgotten anything. For tonight though, I am going to settle in, pick which Christmas movie to put on the projector for decoration for everyone to enjoy (either Elf or Christmas Vacation, cant decide) I play it on repeat all night, and hope I have a slow, uneventful night.

Scott, I know the heartbreak you must be feeling. I hope you realize that many of us here knew your Mom to be a unique, caring, wonderful person who loved her family and friends tremendously. She'll be missed by many of us and we join you in your grief. She was one of a kind and leaves a void for many of us.

I hope her death was peaceful and without pain. Take care Scott and my best to you father, sister, and other family and friends in this difficult time.

Dora, Dotmom, Dottie, my friend, your loss is a huge loss to us. You gave this forum so much that it so sorely needed. I'm still in shock over this. Rest peacefully my dear. You gave so much to so many and you will be fondly remembered by many of us. To quote the Golden Girls' theme, thank you for being a friend. I so enjoyed your wit, your charm, your intelligence and your spirit. So many here could learn from you.

Sending thoughts of Empathy to Dotmom's family. She was an important member of this group, bringing food for thought in many situations. The Kitchen Table is better for her having been here. She is at peace, and your family can now be also.
