Dear Kat...

Thanks for your TFTD and for your good advice. My husband died unexpectedly last month, and altho my heart tells me I will never sing again, my head assures me there are still songs out there for me...just might take a while to fnd them.

Since John's death I have been involved with a lot of construction to bring some of our pottery outbuildings up to code...which brings me to an addendum to No. 22 on your advice list: it is impossible to underestimate the kindness of bureaucrats. But thank god for the rest of the world....
