I want to thank my small but very loyal commenters who continue to bolster me up and let me know what you think.
Your ideas, questions and support are so welcome.
I will be posting part 8 later on today. But, I am taking a very short hiatus to visit my son in Chicago -- no internet access (he's on a very tight budget) so part 9 will have to wait until my return next Tuesday or Wednesday. Then the last installment should be posted by the 26th or 27th.
I want to thank you again. And, I'm really thrilled that you are enjoying this. I've loved writing this series and have mixed emotions now that it's coming to an end. Yes, no encores after this encore. However, tying up all the loose ends -- *and* providing what I hope you will agree is a wonderfully *theatrical* ending has been such a joy.
Barb.
