My 1st post with a picture!  Yay me.
Ohio was wonderful.  Pat and I have been friends for over 40 plus
years-longer than i've been married.  We met in college and have never lost
touch.  We may not talk for months, but when when we do it's just like we were together yesterday.  I will miss our occasioal chats while I'm away.
Guess we'll have to get better at emailing.
I spent 8 glorious, relaxing days with my friend (and her 2 cats).  After the last couple months-the down time was sooo nice
We usually work on a jig saw puzzle during our visits.  I really didn't
like the one we chose.  This was the 1st time I left before the puzzle
was finished.  So sorry Pat.  Better luck next year?
But, home now and back to my usual routine.
Not quite in panic mode, but close.  I only have 1 month til i board a
plane for China.  Help!! I had hoped to take one suitcase...but I'm coming to the conclusion i
will need 2. Ugh!   Also have many "things" to do/finish.  So much to do, so little time.
Enough rambling. Til next time..adios.
