Thank you my friends for building me up on this. You all gave me what I needed, a little pat on my shoulder. Lola, Eagle and Sandpiper, you are right about the loneliness. I know my mother misses her second husband dearly. She talks to him a lot, also when she forgets I'm there. But then she just giggles it off.

Dostie, your house on the beach sounds more and more attractive to me. Who knows...who knows....

Orchid, I know we would be friends if we weren't so far apart. We could do an afternoon of painting and afterwards go to some artsy document movie. Aaah well.
