A blog reader made this soap in honor of Zinnia, Bud, and Fate. She makes these soaps to raise money for animal rescue. We don’t have the heart to use it, so it has a place of honor on the bathroom sink.

I’m off to see my cardiologist where my health care journey began to have a routine check on my heart. I feel very good and strong these days, it will be good to see Dr. Daraban again, she is both honest and intuitive.

I’m bringing her a copy of Anne Tyler’s newest novel. More later.
