DE There used to be a myLot member named Hattie... She passed away several years ago. I enjoyed visiting with her while she was still active. Hattie isn't a name I'd give my child, if I had another child.

The last few days of 2025 were horrid and the new year still pretty bad. I keep telling myself that it will get better. I sure hope so. I hope that life is being good to you all. Our sunset did bring us joy.

much2say Trains are so fascinating - especially the ol' ones. We have an outdoor train museum out here that feature the ol' steam engines - but we can only imagine them running. I've only ridden "rides" . . . I would love to go traveling on a "real" train!
