Well, it’s a good life and a busy life, not without pain and suffering, however. Or drama (from some family members, which can be tiresome). Some (n=2) are banned from our house (sounds like a very un-Christian sentiment, but we have to protect ourselves from nonsense).

Just wish that my son and daughter-in-law lived closer than 700 miles away. Also wish that my spouse would learn to enjoy long-distance traveling; so I do traveling solo, including a hiking trip to Tuscany & Umbria in the fall of 2017 by myself!
