- Dec
- 15
Henry has graciously allowed me to claim some of his prized blog space and reflect on the year of 2012 as it draws to a close. During the last twelve months, living with me and my husband, Bob, Henry’s gotten stronger and more opinionated while recovering from his stroke. It’s been a joy to witness. I […]

- Dec

I’ve not been inside a movie theatre for more than a decade. Between being hard of hearing and my macular degeneration, not to mention there not being any subject matter I found compelling, I’ve been limited to television and books on tape. When I heard Bob and Lisa talking about “Lincoln,” a new movie they’d […]

Today I had a blood draw. Four small test tubes now hold about four ounces of my 100 year-old blood. It wasn’t taken for me.
