Sweet Memories

With a heavy heart, we bid farewell to our dear blog friend Karin Bugge. Her blog Altadena Hiker, was one of the fist blogs I followed way back in 2008. In 2010, my blog reader Judy Dunn and husband Dave flew me to Los Angeles so I could meet my Pasadena, South Pasadena, Altadena and Palo Alto blog friends in person. Karin was a talented writer and animal lover and I loved her dearly.

What sadness! Amazing how close we can become to friends made through blogging! May the memories you have shared with her bring you some consolation.

I'm sorry. I wasn't familiar with her blog.

I am still stunned and oh so sad...

That is a shock! I always enjoyed reading her stories and what a wit she was!

Always a shock when a blogging buddy moves on to greener pastures. Glad you were friends

A number of us in SoCal met at the Arroyo Seco Golf Course on Friday evening to celebrate her life. Lots of memories, lots of stories with tears and smiles. She is missed. And wouldn't you know it...she, herself, summed it all up in a post on her own Altadena Hiker Blog in 2013...
