Dear Patty ~~ A lot of wisdom in those quotes.
Thank you for your comments and also the Valentine's card - you are so thoughtful my friend. Also thanks for the tips on copy and paste for my blog. I used to do that, but sometime part of the article would get lost (or all of it) so now I find it easier to type my posts directly , onto blogger dashboard. I heartily agree about Martha and Dave. He would have set on that golf club sooner if he lived here. I have decided never to shop and cook on same day again and have been very upset about the fires and got behind , continually trying to catch up. Take good care of yourself dear
Patty. Love, Merle.
