Thank you dear, Tom, for your visit and appreciation! When one knows what he says I think doesn't need to say it in many words. I am too old to dedicate much time to writing for I do not have much left! haha!

50's?? You are a mere young lady, my friend! My beard alone is 45! Haha! Thank you Cheryl! Your father was wise! Enjoy it, only try to stay healthy. It is more fun that way! Thank you for the lovely visit!
