Dinner Time

Yes Derma, the reference to aging is new and it hit me as I was working on the revision. I will add some more references along that line now.

Alcuin, I am not worried about being alone, really it will be a new experience that I will embrace with open arms. I have never been alone before and as far as having irons in the fire, I am loaded with irons! Not only do I love to read and write but I also sew, crochet, and garden. I am also a full time college student and will throw myself wholeheartedly into my studies and be able to devote more time to them when I am at last alone...This really isn't a lament even though it comes across that way in the poem.
