Hello, everyone! I hope your Summer is going well
and that you are looking forward to Autumn as much as I am.
I need to issue an apology. My sweet, loving, well-meaning husband accidentally published a post this morning that was not going to be published until Spring 2014. I had it almost finished and just about ready to publish earlier this year when my Daddy became ill and then passed. By the time all of the trauma and drama of his death subsided, we were well into Summer, I was prepping for my surgery, and it was too late to publish a Spring post. My darling husband just made it seem extra weird, though, by somehow hitting the “publish” key for this Spring post as we embark upon the Autumn months! God love him, he’s a great guy with so many wonderful attributes…but he is officially in the dog house! I’m going to make him write on the chalkboard 1,000 times: I will not play with Alycia’s blog. 🙂 (He was just supposed to be checking my stats!)
I hope to be able to get back to the computer on a full-time basis in a couple of weeks or so when the shoulder brace is removed. I still will not have use of my right arm at that time (that will be several weeks out, still), but I should be able to use my fingers without the apparatus getting in the way.
Thank you so much again for all the cards, prayers, well wishes and gifts!
I hope to visit with you soon!

What a sweet guy to try to help. My husband would not know how to find my blog, much less access it! Glad to hear from you and that all is progressing well. Behave yourself, so that you will not suffer any set-backs. We miss you and need to have you blogging soon!!

hahahaha! I read that blog post just about 2 minutes ago, and I thought, ahem, this I think is a mistake. Alicia might still be on the meds, but now I see it is the hubby! Oh, too funny. Well, post it again next spring, it was still very pretty to see at any time of the year! Glad to see you have your sense of humor in tact. But still I shudder to think my husband could tinker with my blog. Truly, shudder.

Well, poor Ramon! It’s not fun being in the dog house. 😦 Maybe you could feel sorry for him just a little bit. And forgive him. Just this once. We’ll enjoy the post again next Spring, so try not to worry too much about it. I’m glad to see you looking so well – on your way to a complete mend. It must be frustrating not being able to type right now. This really was a huge surgery decision, huh? I’m looking forward to having you back in full swing when you get the clear sign from doc. 🙂 Missing your fun-ness!

I thought something was odd in the text but as usual the beauty created and the inspiration that takes over, distracted me from everything else 😉

This post-for-2014 (are you crazy or just THAT fantastic? :D) reminds this poem:
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people’s gardens . . .
And THEN the lovely finale:
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
2014! A year to look for. For Alycia and with Alycia. Thank you Ramon!!!
Yours,
Teresa (oh that pink dress… blast the girl’s sassiness ;))
