I'm thinking of how much fun we used to have drinking martinis and making chocolate food and being silly and writing and reading. I retired last year and am now a stay-at-home mom (after all these years!). Aaron is nine now and pretty well traveled. Please let me know how you are and what you are working on. I love your blog, what I've seen of it. Somehow my time is full more often now that I'm retired, an enigma past delving so far.<br />Love,<br />Pat<br />PS I joined your club.Patricia Golemonhttp://patriciagolemon@att.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944798.post-23980417727941139272011-07-30T15:09:29.143-04:002011-07-30T15:09:29.143-04:00Well, that's a fine role model or aspiration t...Well, that's a fine role model or aspiration to aim for.
