Leta- good luck with the job prospect. I hope it works out for you.
Krystyna- I like that quilt. Diabetes runs in my family too, and I've been working hard trying to keep my A1C down. It seems to be harder and harder to lose those extra pounds. I hope the Duke program works out for you.
Martina and everyone else dealing with retirement- DH and I both retired early due to factors beyond our control and though the finances were very worrisome at first, we were able to work it out. Now we're both very happy to have time to do all those things that we had set aside when our careers became so demanding.
