I missed you so much. Thank you for the kind words on our blog too. You've made our day here, since the last post was actually my husband's and the previous one, my usual words. This is an amazing virtual world we share and each morning, when I page through my blogs, I've sent good healing thoughts your way. Aren't we lucky to be able to share thoughts from half a world away, and be so much better off for all the ideas and richness we can share. Heal on, my friend, and I'll bet your creativity will come back stronger than ever for being forestalled for this recovery time. <br />Greetings from Indiana, USA.Trailshomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091315786366864065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-42895590754845299882010-11-13T00:35:42.530+00:002010-11-13T00:35:42.530+00:00So glad that you are starting to feel better.
