Ruth Schwarze told me about your website. I've enjoyed checking it out! You are talented!
My sympathy to you on the death of your Mom. I always enjoyed her -- lots of life and enthusiasm.
I hope you are doing well -- in of all places -- Deadwood, SD!
I live in Springtown, PA --about 50 miles north of Philadelphia. Beautiful area and I am happy here. Norma lives about 2 hours from me and I see her often. Wayne and Gerrie were out to see us a few weeks ago. (Tom, Jerry, Allen and Cindy are all gone).
Just a little update! All the best to you -- Barbara
