I'm really looking forward to it, Alison!! Hope you are well!!
Hooray dear person. Take baby steps and take us baby steps. Thank you so much. Enjoy every wonderful day. I am so glad that you are feeling strong again and wish to come back. Barbara
So glad you are coming back! I have to tell you, though, your time away from the computer and your focus on your family and home inspired me to focus on my own more. I've gotten a lot of jobs done and had fun doing them. You are an inspiration even when you are away! And please don't try to do too much too soon. You need to pace yourself girlfriend!
Yay Alison! I'm on bedrest for the week so that the baby doesn't come too early, so I'll have plenty of time to read your scrumptious postings! I'm glad you'll be back. We all need a break once in a while. I'm proud of you for even realising you needed one in the first place. Lot's of love and encouragement, Susana
I missed you. I think I was having withdrawal!! Seriously (no joke). Hope you are happy and healthy and take things slow. I look forward to hearing more from you and reading/seeing all your lovely pictures, links and stories. Josee
