@RoseCapris - I can usually guess if someone is American, but I had no idea you were, I thought you were British! Wow! New York city! You have had lots of problems haven't you? We are the same over here. All our governments don't seem to know what they are doing and we are in a bad way. It is only volunteers and charities holding the place together!
Anyway, thought you would be young. How lovely to have your life stretching in front of you. Me and my husband are feeling old and frail now, it is a bit of a struggle, but Hey Ho that's life. God is good and he takes care of us. We will be 50 years married in September and are having a party with the family at a Pub/Restaurant.
Keep writing Rose, your work is special. I enjoy it so much.
