You can do it, kitty--it's quite a step forward, and I wish you all the best as you buy your first home. How neat will it be to sit on the porch and sip sweet tea while the sun goes down?

Sometimes I don't feel I've much to post here either, but I'm trying to hang on, and grateful when I've got anything to share. So here goes. Today, my mom and I took a very pleasant and relaxing walk. People were everywhere, enjoying the milder weather. I had no choice but to smile at a dad and his son creeping through the brush at the park with their noisy laser "guns," giggling as they chased their pseudo-prey. We stopped for coffee, and I appreciated the whole experience--I really needed the lightness and diversion.

Love and friendship to everyone here, as always. Can't wait to read the next installment.
