Re: Start February right

Hiya Brett! Hope your week got started well.

We do get into some mind-stretching topics! I’ve thought about several things you said and marvel at how we keep finding new areas to entertain each other. So happy to hear you were inspired to continue thinking and it could get you going! I had to learn it is totally fine to discuss, fantasize etc. with no intention of doing it. Thank you ever so much for sharing one of your favorites! I have not been able to watch it… Hubby has been sticking to me like glue this week… but I will.

Anything new with you? I got a new phone and am busily learning its features.

Our fundraiser made over $1,000 on Saturday! So many talented people!

I saw the eye doctor again today – my eye is completely healed. Hooray!

Take care in the snow and muck tomorrow!

Hiya Thad! How are your days going? Hope you’re having some good ones.

I had my annual mammogram this week, and was wondering how your joust with the cancer cells is going.

My work continues – still hoping to retire in May or June and do other things.

My community project has been busy – had a fun fundraiser over the weekend with lots of laughter and a chunk of money for a good cause.

Still finding a few inspiring photos on Tumblr. Seems like they did the big purge and then forgot about it, so some of our favorites are getting away with posting. I hate to give them any clicks but I will until I find something else. If you have any recommendations, share!

Hugs!
