That’s so sweet and the misty road goes very well with it.

How delightful and endearing Ellen. Perhaps they are the ghostly ancestors of the trees on the opposite side of the road? Hariod ❤

Dear Ellen, hope you are fine. Your photo and the little story are very moving and I can feel the loneliness as if it were mine. Warm regards Mitza

Dear Mitza, So good to hear from you. You have been so silent– no posts, no emails– are you okay. I wrote you awhile ago and now can’t find your last email. Husband still sick but better. How did your dreaded days go? Warmest regards, Ellen

  Some people go for money, prestige and glitz– I went for a heart of gold! Thanks, Cheyenne!

Yes, an Aspie, too. Maybe that can lay to rest rumors that Aspies have no empathy. He is the most sensitive person I have ever known. Thanks, Kitt! Feel better!
