Thank you Julia, for continuing to post these. I have not been faithful to our saint on Tuesdays but I'm hoping that he excuses my old forgetful mind. I hope you are receiving help from your family in this challenging part of life without your dear husband. I have been married for 44 years and can't help but think of that time of sorrow that lies ahead of all long-married couples. I truly admire your spunk and resolve!
