Don't know if I told you this before, but on New Year's Eve I danced a lively polka with a tall, young, stranger from Norway who must have thought I was 16 year old. I enjoyed the dance but have been paying the price for over a month with a sore leg. It seems to be improving with therapy.

My daughter sent me the article saying that King was spot on.

Yes, the article about the Stephen King interview looks very interesting. Can't wait to read it.
And yes, getting old isn't for sissies! (g) Thanks for the wishes.

You'll have to make up for it when you feel better!
Have a happy birthday anyway!

Becky... this is my kind of cake! (lol)
No messy bowls and pans afterwards. :)
Eddie's cakes come with messy bowls and pans that I have to clean up. (g)
I can't get over the way the colors in the flowers match the colors in the cake!
And with your name on the cake!
These were definitely meant for you, Becky. (g)

Nina, remind me not to polka anymore. I did the polka New Year's Eve and all of January I was limping with pains in my left leg. Now I'm going to physical therapy. It was a very fast, lively polka and my partner was a young man who must have thought I was sixteen. So... no more polkas for me. But I must say, I enjoyed that polka!!!

Your granddaughter has a very satisfying job.
Our library featured _Three Cups of Tea One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time_. They tried to have the entire community read that one book. So it made the book very popular.
PS-Yes, I like to tap my foot to lively music. As long as we can move to the rhythm in some way, we'll be OK. Dancing is a natural instinct. We must never stifle it. Sometimes I just dance around the house when I hear the right music. It's a healthy thing to do.

Wow, 18 grandchildren. What a pleasure.
I found Goodreads last April too... by serendipity.
And guess what... my real name is Theresa Joy, but no on ever calls me Theresa except those who don't know me. Even my parents never called me Theresa. Theresa was my Grandmother's name. And occasionally I use Terry as a nickname online. My grandchildren call me Nina. So you see, you and I have many similarities.
Congratulations on being married 61 years! Does your husband go online or use computers, Nina?

Mom really wants to do a book on a fawn she raised for kids, but I don't know where to start with a picture book like that. She has some great photos & neat stories about Buddy. He was one of many she raised, but the one she had the longest.
My main hobby, besides reading & taking care of the farm, is my woodworking. That takes up lots of time, so with work & all, there just isn't time for other stuff. I've been putting off selling bowls, but did finally get to one store the other day. They took some, but they don't like a shiny finish, so I have to find at least one more. I really hate selling. I especially don't like consignment, but I guess I'll have to do it. That or start doing shows again. They're worse.

I read Jim's story at ezine. It's excellent. Here's the link: ====>

It's called "White Crow". I found it very meaningful.
