You are most gracious, Gladys -

I appreciate so much your generous offer but am not sure just what places are incorporated in our cruise to the Eastern Carribean. Sometimes the stops in the different ports of call are so short, but I certainly would love to meet you if we can arrange it! If only to say we had met and given each other a hug -

I had lunch the other day with a dear, dear friend who I met here on the old TKL - her name here was Beege, does anyone remember her? We "met" when we realized that we both were in the same town on Cape Cod during the summers - me camping and she lives here. Every year we get together and have lunch and she is a most delightful lady and I so enjoy her wit and warmth.

She is an older woman, and was about 80 when we first met, and her family was horrified and cautioned her against meeting up with someone she had met on the Internet! We often giggle about our dangerous liasons each summer! Of course, they had a right to be concerned for her safety.

Thank you again for your generous offer. We will stay in touch about this as time goes along towards January.

Love - June

PS - Then what is a piazza?
