A Note From Marie

To my fellow bloggers I am sending my first bulletin regarding my situation, health-wise.

I deeply appreciate the good wishes you have sent me and it is touching to know I'm not forgotten. I have had a very illness-free life so it was a surprise when I had a life-threatening medical emergency necessitating surgery followed by two months in hospital and another 4-5 months under the care of a hospital-in-the-home service. I am improving from day to day. I am pleased to report that I have regained strength in walking (now without aids) and I am becoming more independent and almost well enough to cope with living alone.

My daughter saved my life in so many ways. She refused to give up on me and she nagged and bullied (in the nicest possible way)and persuaded me to believe the fight was worth fighting. She lives in the same street only a minute or two away if help is needed.

My problems melt into insignificance with the pandemic now affecting the lives of every person living on the planet. I wish you all a safe journey through the mayhem of life changing rules and the attack on the economy.

A big thank you to all of you for your thoughtfulness and good wishes.

From Marie aka Ozstuff

BOOK COVER

I'm always attracted to the stories that begin "One dark and stormy night..."   Intrigue and mystery draw me in and I find myself reading far into the night.  This is the sort of book I'd have to take from the shelf and explore!   I can't wait to see what your cover will be!

KITE

My brother was a champion kite-flyer.  Me?  Not so much!   You don't see children flying kites so much these days.   They're all inside playing video games, I suppose.   I hope you've enjoyed  indulging in some kite art!

Attention all Members - Glitches on the thumbnails.

Sorry to tell you that we have had a major glitch on our link today.  At first the sample picture was disappearing.  I tried to fix that but succeeded in making the thumbnails disappear.

If you click on the link below the picture  you will still be able to see the thumbnails and  comment on them.  Sorry about this.  I hope to do better next week.

The link is dark green and will highlight to orange when clicked on.  It will take you to the thumbnails.
