I am pleased to report that the Charlene problem went rolling away down the street in a moving truck this past weekend. She actually didn't pay any further visits, since, of course, I've been home. But she was served with divorce papers a couple of weeks ago, and they've pretty well emptied out their house now, dividing all their stuff, I guess. There's a realty sign up in the yard. So all is well with the world. And least my world. My husband saw her estranged husband last weekend and he said there's no going back, no chance of reconciliation. The predatory Charlene is temporarily living with her sister three suburbs from here. So all's well that ends well.
