The Confusion of Older Age...(grin)

Jane, the only place to have a retreat would be Ashville. There, at least, people can reach it via plane and there are things to do and see there. That said, believe me, as Grace and others will attest, it is a big job to arrange a retreat for people and after all that you've been through recently, you might want to pass this one by. On the other hand, Ashville and its location is beautiful. The Blue Ridge Mtns., breathtaking. From Ashville, people could strike out on tours, etc. but getting people to you....you're right...you are remote and it would be more bother for you and for them than to go to Ashville where there is more to see and do.

Weather here is becoming spring-like; the grass is magically turning green after a long winter of brown and the pool has had its first cleaning after the winter. We lost a lot of water for some reason...we're hoping whatever caused it isn't serious...the weight of the ice in January took most of the water down for some reason. I am relieved to see it holding water even though I spent an hour cleaning the winter's mud out of it yesterday that fell from or through the tarpaulin covering it. I enjoy winter but it's the in-between stage when it's neither one or the other here that isn't pretty or enjoyable with a mixture of storms and teasingly warm weather in-between cold spells.
