Hi All -- here is a picture of the Silver Globe we got as a memoriam for Tom. It actually is silver -- tried to take pics on a cold, rainy day inside -- didn't work out too well. Marcia found a really great base for the globe. Carvings of gardening tools, flowers, etc. Sits on my kitchen counter.

Max and I are doing pretty well, considering all that has happened this year. Don't know what I would do without him. He is a presence in the house and he makes me laugh -- when I'm not threatening to make dog stew out of him for something he did.

Spent two weeks in Seattle with May. It was really had to leave that place. May is so much fun and Seattle is so great. But it is quite a culture shock for someone living in BFE (Marietta). Spent most of my time going to yard sales, of which there are hundreds of them in that city. Have decided to live in Seattle during the spring and summer and then come home and eBay all the stuff I buy all winter. Sounds like a plan to me.

Hope everyone is doing okay. Let's have some posts on this blog, so I can see you folks and know what is happening.

Love to all,

Arlene
