The Time Has Come

Or at least the Walrus tells me it has and I’m a big fan of the Walrus.

That time has come, only momentarily we hope, for us to pause the little blog.        

There are two reasons for that.  The first, and most important, reason is that the full-body “rash” The Mister has had now for over two years requires almost full-time attention from us both.  It still has no name, no diagnosis, no discernable cause, no cure, no answers.  And how we’ve tried!  So many doctors.  So much disappointment.  We stay home for the most part because we never know when there might be a “gusher” of bright red blood flowing from one of those many, many nasty little suckers.  It’s not pretty when that happens. Trust me.

The second reason for the pause is political.  I am personally saddened and deeply concerned about what’s going on in our country.  It feels negligent to avoid speaking or writing about it but it’s not always a good way to start the week.  As my mother said: “If you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.”  

It’s been my great pleasure, and I hope it will be again, very soon, to write this little blog. What I’ve loved the very most about it has been to hear from so many of you from time to time.  It’s been a bit like having a geographically wide-spread, divergent and VERY outspoken family.  How lucky am I! 

Stay well.  We’ll be back.
