for now

Thank you my friends for your good thoughts and wishes.  I appreciate it much.

See you next week…

Whatever you do, Cancerian, DON’T open the door of that closet that hasn’t been opened in years. DON’T poke your nose into the funny business that has been going on behind the scenes. DON’T peek inside Pandora’s other box, or pick the fruit of temptation off the tree of knowledge, or rush in, like a trusting fool, where angels fear to tread.

I am enjoying the long soft evenings however…  And finally finished the beading. Didn’t take much time but for some reason I was putting it off.  Just love the happy little berries…

Half way around the world. Gosh I miss him.
