Heard on Main Street: Keep in mind that not everyone tells the truth all the time.
Best wishes for a quick recovery to Anne Sylvester, who was pleased to return to the Island hospital from Boston, even if she was not yet fully back at home.
I just started reading another wonderful book. I was not sure I would like it, but now I am delighted that I did. It features Queen Elizabeth (fiction), witty and funny and with no disrespect to the Queen. It is by S.J. Bennett, and called “A Death in Diamonds.” I do recommend this one.
I am enjoying a lovely bunch of yellow tulips on my table, bringing sunshine into my home even with a cloudy sky outside. They arrived with lobster rolls for lunch, a big smile, and a hug from a lovely friend. I sometimes forget to count my blessings.
My recent birthday forced me to realize a few things. I do need a change in keeping records. It may have been my misplacing some needed tax stuff. Was I always this disorganized? I did learn I could get data over the phone from a still unseen 1099 form. Weren’t those due in January? I’m also missing a long-awaited hospital bill. Do we blame the president if the mail is even slower than normal now?
