Patricia B.
I try to do annual goals, but like New Year’s Resolutions, they don’t often come to fruition. We did pretty well with goals for a long time, but age and health issues are getting in the way more often. Ii am not reading anywhere nearly as much as I have in the past. There has been so much to do it leaves less time for reading. In addition, eye issues have become a problem.
There are some giveaways here that are a bit too hot for me to handle. The I would like are: 1, 5, 8, 9, 10.
