Isolation of older age

Jane, I think it might be a good solution to consider buying a home where 'older' quilters could retire to as life's circumstances require a change in lifestyle. A common room, a common kitchen, individual suites...everyone sharing the load financially and emotionally. I keep buying lottery tickets...who knows...it's an idea to dream about.

It's nice to pick up the threads of everyone's life and more interesting given the diversity of where we all live.

Today is a 'food-drop' to daughter, Karen. She suffers from migraines and is teaching piano, in addition to being a mom and wife. I'm 'retired' and have the time to make some extra meals. So, today is delivery day...an hour's drive s/w of the country here...all three Aussies will make the trip with me today. But first, a stop at our local book store. It is the time of One Book/One County, the focus....introducing kids and adults to reading again. The book chosen for children: 39 Clues. Granddaughter, Kirsten, is home today, not well. And the book for adults: Louise Penny's "The Brutal Telling". She is a Canadian author who writes award-winning books if you like mysteries...she doesn't dwell on the gory stuff, more on the inner workings of people's minds. Her stories are set in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, our province to the east in Canada. She's a good author.

And that is my missive for today. Sun is out and shining brightly with the promise of spring in the air. The snow will disappear by this week-end, as will Jane's, I'm sure.
