Have been mopping up the end of mango season and now the gardening bug is getting me out to do a lot of needed transplanting and mulching for this winter season. One more month and our wonderful growing season begins once again.

  Are you sitting down for this bit of news, my dear friend: I served Bill with divorce papers. He started to overdraw his accounts which put the burden of paying the shortages and penalties upon me for when you are married and have the same bank, no matter if your accounts are separate, the bank uses the spouse to pay for the deadbeat louse she is married to. Since I returned alone to Florida, I have received nothing but nasty emails or words on the phone from him. He planned this separation and used me to get himself out of bankruptcy and looking back I was such a fool to trust and marry him. I had a friend warn me that bill was a psychopath and to get away from him for my own safety. I should have listened to her for her husband was an expert in personality disorders and a psychology professor but instead I trusted his lies and look where it got me now. I am bailing out while I still have a shred of a parachute left.
