Hey, KW-
it’ s YOUR TURN to chime in on this little year’s end/holiday tribute, I spontaneously composed yesterday, [and Lynda was too self-conscious to allow it to post on her daily email newsletter, so hope everyone sees/responds to it, here. (gulp, I dunno Lynda,…….
I, ……have never been here before , when I get your e mail delivered daily to my cyber doorstep, heh). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~ “OK, time to turn the meditation inward, Lynda…and allow a heartfelt holiday toast to come yours, & Bob’s way~~~~~~~

Lynda IS a true reason we are surviving on many levels. Not least of which, is that, she and Bob actually GET OUT, ………….Alot!, to hear, and see whatever is going on around, here. Sure, not everyone has the resources, time, and (stamina!) to be able to get to everything, and retain their gorgeous ‘frechetteness’, and enthusiasm for each and every event they enthusiastically attend, but , being ubiquitous ain’t easy, (esp after, ahem, a certain age….. I know!).
