It is so sweet that he wants you to retire to Japan and live with him. Clearly you are an awesome mom!<br />I'm 58, too! He's my eldest.

I think if my hands were bleeding I would give up on making that shawl! I am one of the ones that thought it was your park trailer you were selling. Glad you can enjoy it another year.

Always good to visit with you and see what your busy hands are crafting! Your gorgeous shawl is amazing! I can imagine how hard it must have been to craft it with the wool so rough on your skin! It looks like the season of "springter" continues here, with it being so cold and rainy! Do you have any blooms outside yet?

I had read somewhere (probably FB) that you were selling one -- and I remember how upset you were at all of the new lake-rules-regulations. I was so disappointed since I know how much you two love the lake house...

Glad that the chiropractor seems to be helping, that is good news. Alex has so much going on and seems so busy, but it's sweet he always has time for you both. What a good son he is to want to have you two live with him when you retire. I know there is no way you are leaving the US when little Miss P is here. :) Hope your day is filled with many blessings sweet friend.
