Sheila Rambles

Please excuse Sheila from working on her novel today as her parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on this very date and she will be spending the bulk of the day attending events to commemorate this most happy occasion.  This excuse note also extends to her 100 Odd Words entry for today.  Thank you.
