I have waited a long time, but found them second hand here in the Netherlands. I am so happy! I have been reading your blog for years and am so glad I have your books now. They are a way for me to start up again. I lost my parents 8 weeks apart in November and January this year. The simple way of living is helping me to cope with my grieve and to pick up life again.<br />Please Stay safe and enjoy the garden ❤️Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997083457179608583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-24658855171817535022020-07-17T17:30:54.474+10:002020-07-17T17:30:54.474+10:00Another collection of wonderful links of things to...Another collection of wonderful links of things to read and think about.

He is very successful on Broadway and in New York, so I am excited about it. We can deposit our paychecks remotely now, which is amazing. The sunflowers are in bloom, and I have been harvesting chilis. I always think of you and your chili jam when I pick them. I like them sauteed with onions inside of a quesadilla.
