Thank you one and all. It's nice to know that I'm still wanted here on the list since I do more lurking than posting nowadays. As always, lots going on in my life--working more hours than usual at derm office; picking up per diem work at other offices; still writing but moving into mainstream/ contemporary/chicklit stories(writing my first chicklit novel now! became a member of Romance Writer's Assoc); have a DS story in last year's Karlenzine and one will be in the latest The World of Dark Shadows; my eye is still doing well but the cataract that occured during last surgery is becoming "ripe"--I have a constant "smudge" in that eye that won't go away--but surgery to remove it is debatable. I am not a good candidate for cataract surgery because the manipulation to eye may cause another detached retina! I did go on a 2 short vacations, tho--one to Cape May, NJ and Newport, RI with a stop at Mohegan Sun. And,daughter grad from 2 year college with Assoc Degree in Early Childhood Educ in Dec & she's waiting to see where she's going in the fall to get BS degree in Elem Educ. She's living at home now, taking 3 courses at local CC and working PT in an After School program. It's been nice having her home, tho. Hubby is still retired and loving it! We still plan to move to Las Vegas sometime in the future but getting daughter done with school and settled is our primary concern. So that's about it. I definitely will try to get here more often to see what all the latest DS talk is about. Thanx for thinking of me.
Love and much friendship, Carol
