Hi Rich.. Happy to see you. I check in every day but have little to report myself and I suppose its much the same for the other ladies. I refrain from commenting on the news because it's so depressing. Say what you will about the Trump administration, at least one could feel that the country and its citizens were a priority. Can't say the same about leadership today. The Covid situation has put a crimp in our lives that could never have been anticipated with no end in sight.

If the world situation wasn't bad enough, my personal world has its own headaches. I live in a beautiful but old community. Nature and age have caused a domino effect on infrastructure and one after the other utilities have failed. My partner is head of the HOA and the demands of the position have taken over our lives. Although I remain in stable health as far as I know, aging is catching up more rapidly than I care to admit but cannot deny.

I do miss Carol. She frequently pushed my buttons but somehow we remained friendly. Our interactions had lasted more than 20 years and her absence is felt.
