Being an 'old fart' is tough! Don't let anyone ever tell you different. The weather here has been dreary, chill, and extremely damp all of which aren't that unusual for this time of year. For the first time though the old arthritic joints, breaks, and muscles let me know that the warm, dry, and sunny environment of the desert southwest would be much preferred. I'm still in good health, for my age, but the years are definitely beginning to show their effects. And yes, all that is to explain why I missed my normal Friday posting. As the old saying goes, 'Into every life a little rain must fall'. I can only hope that in the future it's a warm gentle rain.
I've submitted Chapter 15 to the mods and it should be up soon for your reading enjoyment.
My thanks to 'guns97' and 'davidl150' for letting me know forehead was a single word, not two words, as well as the other 'gotchas' that didn't seem to make it from my brain to my fingers and onto the screen. :-)
Fair warning - Refuge concludes in two weeks as there are only two chapters and the epilogue left.
Never fear though as Retreat, Book 3 in the Robledo Mountain Series, will start posting in early April.
