Like being told you couldn’t sing I felt empty to not be able to express my gratitude. Thank you Crystal for the prompt fix.

Having three emails for Crystal I sent my distress to all three and Messenger too. Funny in retrospect! Dear friend thank you for your tolerance!

Thank you Karen for telling me she was having trouble too.  I was sure it was just something I was doing wrong.

Dinner with family last night. Marvelous! Good food and lots of catching up!

But the empty chair represented the sister who wanted to be there and the ghost who should have been.

Grateful for problems solved and patience!

Grateful for Mary Ellen, who told me about WLG not working as expected. Thank you!
