Thank YOU for being charitable about my OT spelling lesson.
As a lifelong language freak, sometimes it just gets away from me and
I do something inappropriate.
As I wrote earlier, I was brought up to appreciate anyone who
will teach me something.
I've also heard many times that the minute we stop learning,

I do my best in a city garden. Going out into the garden after
working in my home office for hours revives my spirit.
