Glad you are home again — what complexities emerge with the range of medicines!!

Your “stumble on toward eternity” phrase is interesting in several ways. “Stumble” is as good of a verb as any — rush, wander, stroll, mosey don’t really do it. You, of course, are surrounded by a band of us who are similarly stumbling in the same direction. We might, of course, jazz the phrase up with an adverb — stumble stylishly might match your pj,etc. attire!!

This weekend will find us in Idyllwild, a mile-high mountain village near Palm Springs. Or, it might not, if the snow comes in as some have forcasted. We’ll see what Saturday mid-day brings. If we do make it, the weekly concert report will be titled Mile High Bach Guitar.

No matter where we end up, know that our thoughts and prayers will continue to be sent your way.

It’s really astonishing how quickly you bounce back from these setbacks. You are certainly a shining example to all of us who face far less challenging issues, but who sometimes make more out of them than we should. The Plymouth Choir sends you their best wishes and hope for continuing recovery.

I’m going to California tomorrow to see Bonnie, and I’m going to shop for some satin PJ’s out there! I want some in the old Hollywood style, trimmed with that feathery stuff! Why not??!!

Love,
Mindy

P.S. I am SOOOOO glad you are home!!!

Thanks for the update on your mom. She truly is teaching us much about living and “stumbling.” The satin PJ’s sound mighty fine to me! Give her a hug from me the next time you see her!

Love to all of you,
Irene
