Dear Rita,
Hey, silly! How are you?

Yeah, I really love yoga and it makes me feel so good. Unfortunately, they won't let us check out yoga mats to use whenever we want. Now I can only use one when they have another exercise class, and I go off in a corner. Also, I'm not really self-motivated so I have to have someone to do it with. I recently got one guy interested, but the past two weeks we haven't been able to do it on our scheduled days (Tuesday and Thursday) for one reason or another.

Yes, I love Isabel Allende. I haven't read Haruki Murakami. Can you recommend one of his books? Lately I have been a junkie for the True Blood series about Sookie Blackhouse by Charlaine Harris. They're a bit of "fluff", but I love them.

Yesterday, I got four books from Hamilton Books—a great discount book catalog. I got: a World Almanac, a book listing all the Kings and Queens of Great Britain, a book about crystals, and a book about Tarot cards. I was disappointed 'cause they didn't have a fifth book I ordered about filet Crochet which was supposed to show different patterns including letters. People are always asking me to put letters (A, B, C, etc.) on things. I can do them on a graph, but not by themselves.

I did not get your posting on Nov. 18. They put it in a letter dated Nov. 22 which was later mailed to me (there's no postmark date on the envelop). So, I didn't get this until sometime near Dec. 1, and I'm just now catching up.

No, there's no one kind like me! Ha! Kidding! There are a few nice people, but sometimes I'll trust people and they'll still screw me over. I used to be very trusting, but I am starting to become much harder. And it's not pleasant, but it is necessary.

Thanks for the kind wishes and my best to you too!

Hugs,
