thank you for waiting

November 8, 2013

I haven’t been posting because we had an unexpected death in the immediate family September 13th.  I don’t want to share any details about it at this time, other than it shook Jude and me to our very souls.  She just went back to work last week.  Nearly all of our energy has gone into grieving and healing, and it’s been exhausting at times.

 

So basically I’m just checking in with you to let you know I’ll be back on my writing feet again soon.  In the meantime, I’d like to share two stray thoughts I’ve had recently: (1) Green Eggs and Ham is a delightful book, but Ted Cruz had no right to use it to shut down Congress; and (2) watching Miley Cyrus twerk her bony body at the VMA, I realized that I have a curvier ass than hers.

 

Miley, I beg you, eat some protein.  You can afford it.

    Miley, even eat some carbs for gosh sake. Allen, glad you’ll be writing again. Missed you here in DC and the country’s been going all to hell as a result.

    Obviously didn’t do something right. My quilt logo changed, which was bad enough, but they also changed my name to “Anonymous” where around here to get me into big trouble.

      I guess “Anonymous” is this generation’s “Deep Throat”. Try to stay out of underground parking lots, old chum.

      Thank you very much, Diane. My first response somehow ended up at the bottom.

        Oh heavens, yes.
        And apparently rain, as my back step is icy this morning.

        Hi Allen, I am still around. I have started another blog and here is the address if you want to take a peek….. gypsygirl1011 and my email is 75751tj@wordpress.com and at gmail.com as well. WordPress sometimes locks me out of my old Blog. Oh this is Beth by the way. Not sure how to add you to my new blog. Things change so much. Hope all is well with you and Jude and once again I am so very sorry for your loss. (Hugs)
