…this list weaves across the heavens, and is, itself, endless.

Sweetheart, thanks for the lovely comment. I am envious of your beautiful trip. Actually that pear post got posted in error without the text. Am just about to fill in the blanks, so as to say!
don’t forget the illegal baking business and the book about the mice :)
Deeba, oh honey, you must get that lovely post finished and searchable. The world needs such beauty.
Meggie, thanks for the additions to the list. I had forgotten about Collette and Fran’s venture into the catering world. AND…I hope that the story she wrote for President Clinton Whitehouse still lingers somewhere. That would have made for an excellent childrens book. Gosh, I miss her so much; I know you do too. Let us remember to celebrate our tears and not to hide them. We were truly given a gift beyond compare. She rests peacefully and frolicks with those that know her true value. She is away, but we’ll see her again. God doen’t make trash.
Love,
Mom
