Dear Nancy,
Been quite a bit since I last wrote you. My travel during the early months of 2018 months has been in the USA.
I visited the new home I bought in Peoria, Arizona. Yup-I bought a place in Trilogy where you and I had looked and said we would buy. It is a very nice 2 bedroom home not far from Dick and Kathy. I actually bought it in July 2017, furnished it in Oct when Deb Casurella came down to help me set up the furniture. Finally I spent 3 weeks at the house in March continuing to work on art, tables and other things to finish it a bit more. So far I love it and know you would as well. Come visit me in my dreams when I am there the next time and I will show you around.
Oh dear-I forgot to mention I went to Key West in Feb to visit Jim and Deb on Blue Skies. It was a terrific week. Warm and with good friends. What more can you want. AND I saw the star they added to the Blue Skies in your memory. You will forever sail with Jim and Deb. And I am forever grateful to them.April 1st Mary Margaret sent off Phyllis to be with you. She is missed oh so very much so I hope you two are enjoying each others company.
Then April brought a trip with Kae L to see the Klingel's at their new home in NorthCarolina. But first Kae and I visited the Biltmore staying there for several nights. You would have loved it. The house is quite beautiful and the setting very special. Spring flowers were up and lovely. We took several tours inside and out. Largest family home in the US. Very progressive family for their time.
Then on toe Steve and Sally's place on a beautiful lake. We loved spending time with them in their gorgeous home. What a treat including dinners and walks and just staring at the lake.
May May May-What a month it was to be as I got to meet Tommy, son of Leslie and Scott Wertz and our great nephew. He is beautiful and full of love and laughter. I think he must glow in the dark as he is so full of happiness and love. And he is so loved.Nancy you would love him so. And you would be so very proud of Scott.
And he has two great teachers in Jason and Brien. They are growing so. They miss you but your sweet memory lives in them. It was great to spend time with them and with Jamie and Tim. Took the ring to Jamie as promised.
