Many thanks to Barbara for another wonderful Wednesday with Yayas and to all for your sharing loving kindness. In spite of Carol’s sad loss of dear young friend and Lucienne’s loss of step mother (their ages make such a difference in our response , but death is so final no matter the age; our sympathy to those who are grieving), we had some great laughs and good discussions.
Look forward to more in March at Cathy’s. Our book selection for the month is I Thought You Were Dead by Pete Nelson.
Thank you, Donna, for your words.
