Hello, my friends!

I hope that this email finds you happy and healthy.

Well hello, October! This year has been a whale ride of ups and downs. My 89-year-old mom broke her leg in August but thanks to her amazing caretakers she is on the mend. We are working on getting her to be able to move from her wheelchair to her comfy chair to her walker. Fortunately she is a pretty tough cookie and perpetually good natured, so every day is a gift.

I got a clean bill of health from my cancer surgeon back in March, so that was a relief. Thank you again to everyone last year for your kind words of encouragement and advice. It made all the difference in the journey.

The Hub is teaching second grade using distance learning and bringing his A game everyday. It is a difficult situation but he is making the best of it. To all the parents trying to work and keep their kids safe, you have my admiration.

Everyone is going through tough times these days. I am forever grateful for my family and friends. I keep thinking about Sam from Lord of the Rings, "there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo..."

Sending you my best thoughts,

My Etsy Store

I found some copies of my first paper toy book. I'm up for going to the post office.

It makes a swell present, if I do say so.

"Most people have forgotten nowadays what a house can mean, though some of us have come to realize it as never before. It is a kingdom of its own in the midst of the world, a stronghold amid life’s storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary."

~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
