It’s about time I reported in as to why you won’t get an answer if you call me. I am away for the winter. Long nights and short days by myself made the decision for me. My guardian angel is not always subtle. And imagine being lucky enough to have an option.
When my daughter, Erin, and her husband, Bill, bought this acre of land in Smith River they saved half of it for me. It took thirty years, but all of that time they kept reminding me that I would be welcome here. What’s left of me came to live in their home on December 21st. At a time when it was a godsend and more appreciated than words can say.
They are spoiling me rotten, fattening me up, and giving me wonderful company – 24/7. The trip was grueling since I’m used to spending about half my time in a prone position and couldn’t do that that day. But now you can all stop worrying about me. I am in good hands. Erin makes every meal a party with her knack for setting a tempting table and presenting each item in its best possible container.
2013 promises to be a year of comfort, love and new adventures. May all of you, my people, feel the same way about your new year. If it weren’t for missing my son and my adorable little fairy tale cottage, I would be perfect.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
