    • Hi Christine:
      Thank you very much for the Birthday greetings. I appreciate this so much. I cannot believe it’s another year. UGH!!! Hoping all is well with you and your family. Take care..stay safe and be well. God’s blessings.

      • Hello Lori, you are more than welcome to the birthday greeting, i know what its like getting another year older, i was 60 last xmas day, and we could not mix with others last xmas, so we spent it on our own, just stewart, our dog patch and me, we would normally go to stewarts parents house xmas day but we just could not mix with others last xmas so stewarts parents gave us the turkey that they bought to cook for us all plus home made goodies, so that made up for some of it, but i was upset though, my dad passed away last April and he made myself and my younger sister executors in hes will and my sister just took over everything and causing me so much trouble, she has made me ill for the past year, ive not long come out of hospital with infected kidney and gall bladder, had to spend 5 days in hospital, which was hard, no visitors because of corona virus, ive had my first shot but waiting on the 2nd one now, probably get it April/may time, we have to wait 12 wks from the 1st shot to the 2nd shot, plus ive been shielding too, allowed out now but have to be so careful who i mix with , im vulnerable they say to getting covid, but i try to stay as positive as i can do, do hope you are ok and your family also, you just take it easy , stay safe thinking of you christine

        • Christine….my gracious you’ve had so much going on in your life. Well I’ll be turning 64 on Monday, April 5th. With Covid it’s kind of difficult to do much. Next Saturday I’ll be getting my 2nd Moderna shot. My sincerest condolences on the loss of your dad last April. It’s never easy losing a parent. My mom passed in 2005 and my dad 2008. I still cannot believe it’s been so long since they passed. I miss them every single day. I talk to them every day. 🙂 Christine having a positive outlook is a huge help. I retired last June 30 after 43 years with Federal Government. While Covid prevented me from doing things; I’ve learned to adapt and am grateful for every day I wake up and am okay. Give the glory to God. I’m a subscriber to Broadway in Boston (theatre) and it looks like we may be returning to the theatre this November. I love seeing Broadway shows locally. You just take care of yourself. Have a blessed Easter. Hugs and blessings.
