Charmion, I think if you're not enjoying the activity, there is no reason to stay. On the other hand, if you give them notice that your last performance will be that particular concert, then would there be a going away party? A small ceremonial departure that wishes everyone well would be good for all.

I need that kind of cleanup around here, Michelle. I have a bunch of pots sitting on the patio by the sun room door that needs weeding or tossing. And oddball stuff that needs putting away.

Susan, I was thinking of your most recent "Mudwimmins" query.

We haven't heard from Kat for a while - I hope the recovery is steady and noticeable. And I hope Morgan is having a good spring - has he been over to visit?
