to the lovely gladys

dear gladys,
how lovely your reply was. you are one in a million. i have a confession to make: firstly. i have confessed to lurking for a few years off and on , and because of this , felt the essence of you especially, as well as other lovelies who are committed participants.but please do not be offended
if i say that you stand out as the "godmother". this is
a strange admission to make but even today as my darling
d.h. came into the study and said-send my love to gladys!!
we have spoken about you often due to my reporting.
suffice to say we both have admired you from afar and worried about your worries too. strange but true.
gladys from p.r has been a foodie heroine of our funny little welsh/canadian partnership here in england! he wanted to know even today if you want his recipe for lancashire hotpot!! don't be so silly said i.
we are so looking forward to occuping our new nest in florida - all that seafood-yumm- and are so delighted that you will join the meet-up at judy's
i also understand the retirement dilemma -you relocate for the best reasons only to find it was not fulfilling in the way you had hoped. still gladys , you must turn lemons into lemonade. be fiesty and unrepentant!!i would love a phone call and if you send the number will phone you.
love jan xxx
