Monday

I've been on 2 sea voyages and another voyage down the rivers of Holland and now my memory is getting worse and worse. I am probably gonna end up in assisted living cuz my house is getting to be too much for me, but we keep going. Hubby is handicapped so my options have been limited (hence the sea voyages where you get excellent services). But I keep going. My second book is getting wrapped up after many starts and stops along the way. I'll announce it on DU, later in the spring.
