The Respite

Sometimes one needs to remove themselves from isolation.

Margie flew to Utah with the swede and spent 10 days 

1. eating three meals a day(plus a lot of snacking)

2. sewing a velvet skirt for a great granddaughter

3. shopping

4. exercising

5. visiting grandchildren and family

6. dinner engagements with 

stimulating conversation

7. reading "the Ultimate Gift" 

by Jim Stovall

(I highly recommend reading this book)

Margie had this idea(she called it a dream) that she 

should buy herself and her

  daughters and daughters-in-law a leather coat..

so off we went to Burlington coat

 factory where we were told had the

 best selection of leather 

and suede coats. 

here she is, in her new luxurious black leather.

she was like a kid for days, wearing this coat night and day 

and taking it off only at bedtime.

...we had a nice visit and I know Margie did too!
