Take a Word

March 22, 2020

NOTE FROM MARIE TO BLOGGERS:

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.

Take a Word #5 - Home

This week the one word theme is HOME. Deann (Grannie Annie) is the guest artist. She sent me two samples pictures and said she couldn't choose between them. I took one look and decided I couldn't choose between them either so I am posting both because they are too good to miss. Thanks Deann.

You can find these pictures on Deann's blog HERE

Take a Word #3 - Moon

This week's word is MOON. My sample picture was inspired by the great old Ella Fitzgerald song "Paper Moon" - a song about a world where nothing is real.

I am looking forward to seeing moons in all shapes and sizes!!
