Oh, I hope the pictures come out and you get to see them, too!
I like to read, mostly biographies and autobiographies and history. Am
reading Corrie Ten Boom's "In My Father's House" (the years before the
Hiding Place).
I'm no hand at gardening. I'm death to plants. I do enjoy looking at
gardens and what grows in the wild.
I'm a member of a Freecycle list, too, and like you, because I don't
drive I can't get to a lot of the things. It's kind of fun to see the
kinds of things that get offered.
