Congratulations to all of the winners. It was great fun reading all of the entries.
Thank you to all who gave me a pat on the back or a big cyber-hug. Your comments mean so much to me.
I'm glad I didn't give up, I may have, had it not been for the wonderful encouragement.

I can't believe I said something that insensitive. She must have thought I was the rudest person in the world. I promised myself I would think before speaking, so much for my New Year's resolution. I'm amazed I'm capable of saying something that insensitive. She must think I'm the rudest person aliv...

The tenses bounce around like a ping-pong ball. I think some of the commas are messed up too. Millie—my bride of sixty-seven years—teases me (How do you get it to quote? Oh well I'll paste and copy for now.) I'd write it this way: Millie, my bride of 67 years, teases me; she insists each puzzle be s...
