Thank you, dear David. Here goes: oh, I am thankful that I am reasonably healthy for a person my age I am eternally grateful to my two beautiful stepdaughter’s, Sally and Amy, and their spouses, who help me do the things I can no longer do and take me places that I cannot longer get to. I’m also thankful as heck for my lovely daughter, Paula and her spouse Peter, who do the same things for me. Also, not to forget my son Mark, who is a Mench – someone who early on was doing a lot of the taking care of children. Step granddaughters, Ruthe and Nina, and granddaughters, Elena and Claire. Claire. Daughter-in-law, Sheila, who is the best cook in the world. And grandsons Riley, and his wife, Valeska, and grandson Oliver, who is a student at the University of Arizona, and also a great cook! I love this funky mixed neighborhood, Jen, to provide enough that we have little kids here now. I love being a western woman with some agency and I’m very happy with the choices I have made. I’m grateful for for the handy guys who help me keep this old house from falling apart hard part and I am thankful I live in this small town with generations of friends from different eras of my life. Enough already!
