While I am a willing, and grateful, participate of the radio show...not so much the club. -smile-

As an aside, this morning is the 8th month anniversary of Dave's death and this morning was the first time since Dave died, I awoke, having dreamed of Dave. It was a sweet dream and thank God for both the dream and the man. I am blessed.


Blessings ~ as much time as Dave and I had ~ Living Better at 50 ~ Prudence ~ sweet dreams ~ precious memories ~
