Hi Dear Friends, well I am going to give it a try at posting tonight, firstly I want to thank you all for your good wishes, they have been a wonderful help to me.

About two weeks ago I really felt very ill, it was a trifle comical when I look back now as I really felt I was coming to the end, I insisted on giving my Dear DH all these talks & instructions amongst all the pain etc, DH & DS were not very impressed with this. Happily I am starting to feel better, even went for a little walk today, it was wonderful, slow but I made it. How these Dear men cope with me is umbelievable at times.

Judi I am so sorry you have not been well do hope you are feeling better now, there seem to be so many virus's around.

Martha I am also sorry you had a Blah day hope it has passed, we woman are a little complex I think compared to men, it only needs a small thing to trigger a Blah day.

Well that will have to do me tonight, do keep well & happy everyone there is nothing more important. HUGS Doreen.

It's so good to hear from you, Doreen, and to know that your feeling a little better. Good to hear that you were able to go for a walk and take in some of nature's beauty. I guess we all have our ups and downs, but you certainly do have a good positive attitude and I feel that you will pull yourself through whatever is facing you. I am sitting here looking out over the lake--our computer here is right in front of a window that looks through our screened in deck and out onto the lake. It is so peaceful and quiet today, and for once there is not a fog covering the view. In hopes that means that our spring weather will finally catch up with us, now that summer is just around the corner.

Went to a great 150th town birthday parade last Saturday, which also happens to be Founders Day or Flag Day for us also. I am a city girl, but this parade was put on by the little town where we stay in the summer by the lake, and it was so much fun to watch the Clydsdales and see all the tractors, and then the work horses practically danced their way down the street hauling their wagon. The State Police also rode their horses, and practically every float had a dog on it, and all very well behaved if I do say so myself. It was a fun day, and friends of ours dressed up in their Civil War uniforms and the dress of the day and they were on their float representing their church--they were depicted as all eating and enjoying one of their many church suppers.

Well, hope this finds you feeling good this morning when you wake up. The sun is not out here but it's almost into the 70's, so that is good weather for what we have been having lately. Have a good day. Hugs. Bea

May you have a beautiful day-I say day since you most likely read this in the morning. martha

Doreen..So good to hear from you. We have been so worried about you. It is so nice to hear that you are starting to feel better now.

You do have the ability to make us smile here and it's nice to see that your sense of humor holds fast even when you are ill.

I want to keep you in my prayers and hope that it will help you feel stronger every day.

Take care,

Becky
