Play
The lovely blogger-pals I join with to write this Tell Me About Series have picked the theme of “play” for this month. That initially threw me for a loop, as there’s nothing I do “play” – not golf or tennis, video games, cards or board games. I’m never bored, but instead am reading, writing, cooking, taking photos, or gardening.

A Tale of Two Penpals
I had planned this post for the week of Thanksgiving, as I was thinking of what I’m the most thankful for this year – and it’s PEOPLE and the interaction with them in person that I miss more than anything. But, I was thwarted by a virus – no, not THAT virus, but a computer virus my website got! Fortunately, I called in my tech support team and it was resolved in 24 hours – whew!
