Surprise!!! Yes, I was the one surprised. I actually considered that no one would be home, but I honestly hoped. Anyway, there I sat on the soft black leather couch, unsure of whether to take a nap, read or make a few phone calls. After all, I had some time, and exactly how much time, I wasn’t sure.

I moved to sunny Arizona a few months ago.
Leaving the cold, gray Windy City was a plot hatched in the last two years of the over 60 I’d lived there. It was hard work moving. A process I hope I never have to go through again. But I said that a few times already so you just never know what will happen.

My children and grandchildren...
