Hi Karol,

So many wonderful memories are captured and saved because of photographs that were taken. We always plan to put all the pictures in albums in sequential order, but, most of us don't take or have the time. I have filled 7 albums, but, I still have a big Rubbermaid box just full of memories and pictures.

I know that you were glad to find some of these pictures of Grandma Lily. Sounds like she lived a fun life and sometimes back in those days, women didn't remarry because, just maybe, people might talk poorly of them. But, good for Grandma Lily. She grabbed the gusto and it must have done her good. She looked bright and cheerful on her 90th birthday gathering.

The pictures of your flowers are just so very beautiful and I enjoy them so much. Your yard should be shared with many.

You're still accomplishing so much each day. But, isn't it something, no matter how much we get done, there is always more to add to the list? Doesn't seem fair does it? I guess thats just the way the cookie crumbles. Did someone say cookie? I think its time to grab a bite to eat.

Sending my best to you Karol, as always. Ruth
