[Nfb-krafters-korner] books

Sun Oct 4 19:54:49 UTC 2009

Hi Annet,
No, nor is it mine.  But now I am very content caring for my Husband 
and Son.  I keep very busy. I am not one to sit more then twenty 
minutes at a time.  But afternoons like yesterday are the 
exception.  I had shopped in the morning and had company the night 
before.  A short nap and the rest of a good book turned out to be 
fun. Today, I am into cooking, putting things away and, yes, I did 
start another book as I work around here.

I find that weekends have more free time for me. But I can enjoy it.

The greatest thing is that I know my Husband and Son get the care 
they need. Well, I think so. lol
