    • Ninety and all that come with that. And a blog site that says one of us is crazy (he or me). I keep being told that my cloud is full, but others don’t get that message. And suddenly, out of the blue, Gutenberg starts PUBLISHING on my blog e-mails I’ve written to others, not on my blog! I’m about to go off in a huff, but don’t want to lose touch with my very few but valued blog friends, you included. I guess it’s AI and the result of money-making for the site/shareholders, but changing things all the time is beyond my understanding. I’ll go looking under my bell for your work again. When I go looking for answers I’m often answered with strange new words. Maybe they could make even more money if they promised never to change anything again. Thanks for remembering me. Smile and hugs, Nan.

  • I’m so sorry to hear of your heart attack! Glad you’re well enough to answer comments. I am hundred percent sure we all would love to receive your posts, whether via the Reader or email. I’ll visit your blog to see what’s going on. Which daughter caused your heart attack? I’m sure she didn’t mean it! Much love. 90 is a wonderful age!

    • Au contraire! She was used to my early morning grunts but said the “sound” was different and she was unable to geta physiological response and called 911 (a couple of blocks away) and after a discussion as to where I had signed a “no not revive” note, they forwarded me to Columbus, where I spent 5 days. I do remember my thoughts coming apart and thinking “maybe I’m dying?” hazily before evidently losing consciousness. Seems my potassium had skyrocketed…By the way, where is your site?
