A lovely chatty piece of self -disclosure, Joanne.
At our age, we've got lots of those B&W photos that reveal a simpler way of life in those days. Simpler but also harder in some ways, as you've shared here.
I'm new... still working on my introductory piece here, so we'll travel this road together... and stop for a chat under a shady tree from time to time.
Gary
You got it Gary. I love me them there shady trees!!
