I love this, Tabby!

A fabulous rendering of your friend and a gentle reminder to live our best lives now. It sounds like Tedrowe was a lovely friend and inspirational guide along the path.

My husband, Robert, is 84, and he does not look or act like he is 84. I am 74 and hard pressed to keep up with him. Thanks for sharing about Tedrowe.

thanks Fran. my husband is a freak of nature at 91. he is blessed with good health, and and is "still with it". I have so many friends whose husbands are in cognitive decline. It might come, but, for now I just hope I can still keep up!
