She did some other things as well - out of Santa Cruz.<BR/><BR/>Bruce, you are so right! Sissies don't want to grow old. But there are a few compensations. Grandchildren being one of them.

I lost contact with dear friends for 32 years, then one day I googled a town in NC, and there on the page of the site I went ot, was my friend's face! My jaw dropped. I picked up the phone and called him immediately and now I'm in touch with his wife on a continual basis again. :)Sandpiper (Lin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03704451520824495064noreply@blogger.com
