Thank you, Josie. I enjoyed you emails. I appreciate the offer of help, and who knows maybe someday I will call on you again. I know what you mean about making a move at this age. It is scary sometimes to think of making a wrong decision. Years ago, I would not have thought twice about doing anything I decided to do, but now I have to second guess every decision I make. And, I don't like it one little bit. Ha-ha. You take care now and I do hope to get to the cemetery someday.
