11. Hi. I was hijacked by my kids yesterday, to a family funeral with food afterwards, and a 6'2"

granddaughter's volleyball tournament. Made the mistake of asking if we could go nearby to the protest in Conroe,TX. So, I just got a handy fold up walker with seat and will quietly take my own self to the next one!

Now reading When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal. "Her sister has been dead for fifteen years when she sees her on the TV news... Josie Bianci was killed years ago on a train during a terrorist attack. Gone forever. It’s what her sister, Kit, an ER doctor in Santa Cruz, has always believed. Yet all it takes is a few heart-wrenching seconds to upend Kit’s world. Live coverage of a club fire in Auckland has captured the image of a woman stumbling through the smoke and debris. Her resemblance to Josie is unbelievable. And unmistakable. With it comes a flood of emotions—grief, loss, and anger—that Kit finally has a chance to put to rest: by finding the sister who’s been living a lie." Good read so far.
