Happy Return

I've been away.  "Come down" said my son "I'll take you to see James Bond".  How could I resist - a chance to see son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter - and James.  The journey was worth it to see Rosie's smile - and James was good too.

I came back to messages on my phone from my other granddaughter asking for my help with a project.  She had to interview an older person about historical events lived through and the feelings they had evoked - oh! and she loves me lots.

I came back to a letter telling me that I had won the Lottery.  No. it won't change me.  I shan't leave Gather.  My winnings came to roughly $15.  After much thought I decided to splash out on some celebratory ice-cream.

I came back to some encouraging Gather comments.  It's lovely to know that life doesn't stop when I leave for a while.  It was a nice surprise to discover that I no longer have to sign in and there are other Gather changes which make the experience more pleasurable.

I came back to the news that my charity project for the National Library for the Blind has netted another $2000 and my new project is beginning to bear fruit.

There are times when life is just... nice.
