Looks as if Ric is facing another surgery. We’ll know by the 13th, if not sooner. Meanwhile, my own illness is flaring, and the new treatment is causing severe nausea and other complications. Thank goodness for my camera, which takes me out of myself, if only for a moment. Here are a few snippets of […]

A Treasured Moment

March 16, 2021.Reading time 1 minute.

Doctors write me a report to accompany our journey, and we head out in November. It’s a struggle at first and I’m doubting my ability to […]

Not Everything Is Defined by Age
