    I was beyond delighted to receive this long honest reply from you precious Gerda.
    Also to hear all about Peter and Sandy.
    I hold you tight and I always will, I am well and Lisa takes great care of me when she is here.
    Both girls support me a lot.
    I am still in my house in STown. I live here by myself and feel very grounded here,
    Hugs and Love Friends Forever Joan.

    Yes! Bring back the walking stick. I love it. I wish my mother would carry one.

      Maybe your mother would like a blingy one! Or artsy, or whimsical–they come in all tastes. Hope you’re doing well!

    Dear Gerda,
    I know this comment is quite late, but how about Rocinante as a name for your walking stick? It seems a fitting companion for the Doña.
    I have not commented on a post before, but I am an admirer and fellow traveler, and long-time reader of this blog, and I cannot express how much you, and your writing, mean to me.
    Warmly,
    Joan

      How wonderful to hear from you, Joan. What an amazing idea! Rocinante is perfect! I have currently lost said walking stick–my second in two months. I am “punishing” myself–or, to put it more positively–“making myself” more mindful by going without it. It works just fine if I put my feet far apart and waddle like someone 9 months pregnant. I am in the process of finding a new one, really cheap, so that i can buy a handful and not feel so bad when I lose them…They will definitely be Rocinantes. I am sorry to hear you are a fellow-traveler. This is an unfortunate disease, but I feel so grateful for the joyful times that comes in between the bad ones. It means so much to me that you are in touch and that my writing means something to you–I am often not inspired to write another post, but your comment has helped me think about my next one. My warmest wishes for every possible blessing from the universe to descend on you!
