What a beautiful note. Thank you, Kristi. I will continue making you smile (or trying) — no question. Thank you for being a reader and commenter.

Love the to-do list. I do something similar in Apple Notes. But sometimes I want one big list, and sometimes I want a new list every day. Neither seems to fit quite right all the time.

Thanks, Matt. I know you and Apple notes are great friends. I'm also a fan. Miss you.

I'm glad you're bringing all of it: smiles only, while fun, isn't the whole story. ok, now I need to know any other way of doing a to-do list...🤔

Life is certainly more than smiles. People have very intricate systems for tracking their to-dos. I prefer the ultra simple. Sounds like you do too. ❤️

Simone - you make me so happy. I am not on social media, let alone twitter! So your weekly email is something that I look forward to - I just love it! Please keep making us smile and I hope we can return the favor sometimes. Xoxox, Kristi ❤️

Now I’m off to google or maybe better yet, Amazon whatever a sleep pod is…

Have a nice week!

Semone, I caught a smile reading your letter.

Yes, this week I fell short. Three things I did so far landed with a thud and debris splattered my face.

My super powers escaped me.

Thanks for reminding me we’re human and thanks again for passing on smiles!

The rest was icing on the cake.

"Semone" looks kinda fun. Simone, consider the swap.

Sandra, a high school friend, Bobby Simon, somehow earned the nickname Semone Q Bat. We still call him Semone. I'm fairly certain it wasn't a compliment. ;-)
