Hazel.. I’m so sorry to hear about Dick, Two years ago we sold the Home on the creek rd. then COVID happened. I haven’t been back to M.M. till a few weeks ago, then it was only for 4 days. So naturally I had no spare time.
Sounds like an excuse!
Please take care of yourself,be healthy, and good luck.
