I have met a sea lion - down in Cabo san Lucas.8 of us were on an underwater walk, with helmets over our heads pumping air to us. Pedro - the sea lion - was attracted to me for some reason, perhaps because my many rings reflected light. He went up one arm and down the other, brushing me with his whiskers all the time and I was as still as a statue. As we assembled to climb out of the water, he came to me again and did the brushing thing. It was extremely exciting! I so wanted to reach out and touch him, but I kind of like having both hands. His fur looked so soft. The guide said that's the first time he's shown interest in people.

Aknan, that's a really neat memory! I've missed seeing your posts - have you been gone or have I just not seen your posts.

I was the caregiver for my husband until his death last October, so I really didn't have time for puzzles. I'm getting my life back now and do the puzzles daily again. Just haven't had much to comment abut, I guess.
It's good to see some familiar names again.

Oh, aknan, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. What a tragic ad difficult time for you. I know all of us on C4J feel the same. It's good to have you back again on C4J.
Do you know why aussiesapphire has been absent from C4J for so long?

Aussie is in very poor health and is in a nursing home, which she absolutely hates! We've exchanged a couple of emails, but he last one from her said she had to close because "she was fading" and hadn't the strength to type any longer. I pray for her daily and hope that if anything happens, her sister, Margaret, will let us know somehow.

Oh, bless her heart. I've worried about you and aussie, wondering why y'all had been away from C4J. I've been praying for both of y'all, that you find strength and comfort both in your difficult situation and for aussie. ><>
