Pony express would be faster

I write and then I can't post, or I write only the title and it posts, but I don't know why! I just lost an entry, so I will try once more. I just returned from a four day visit in Oceanside. I unpacked books; many, many books. I also cooked the evening meal each day. Yesterday we had chicken fried steak and mushroom gravy. It was gooood! Just like mother used to make. I love my granny room and the family that made it for me.
