Yes (((((Judy))))), I knew you are alone too. Most of the time I like being alone. It's just those rare times, as you mentioned, that sometimes make it difficult. But hey, we're getting older and I'm a firm believer that the world owes us. I'm not about to give up all of which I've earned to give it to a nursing home. Not yet! Not ever, if I can help it.

My home sounds much like your townhouse, except I don't have to go outside to get to the basement. Let's you and I, and whoever else wants to join us, get a sprawling ranch, all on one floor, a pool in the back with a maid/cook and poolboy/chauffer, of course.

I guess you can tell...I'm feeling better today and I am so grateful to have friends such as you.

Love and Hugs,
