And right before Independence Day weekend, how perfect is that?!?
It required sustained concentration, and a great deal of time and energy. But I couldn’t be happier about the outcome, and all it means to my beloved family.
Thank you for sticking by me during my absence from LJ. I’m grateful for your kind words, prayers, and support. Believe me when I tell you: I couldn’t have done it alone!
What’ve you been up to, I wonder? I’m craving virtual tea and scones, and the very real connections I share with everyone on LJ. And oh, I’ve missed so many wonderful stories–tell me everything you know!
I’ll be blogging again next week, I promise. And returning — at long last — to WITNESS.
Tears in my eyes as I dance the virtual happy dance with you and yours, Melodye. Score one for the good guys!
No need for tears–this tune is 100% dance-worthy. 🙂
Glad to see you back. Hope all is well with your in-laws.
My in-laws and I (we) are doing well, especially after this. And I”m very glad to be back, thank you!!
Huzzah!
Thanks, S! I feel like I’ve broken the finish-line ribbon of a marathon.
Yipee! So happy for you.
Thanks, Susan! When at last we find time for that elusive phone call, we’ll celebrate this…and your lates victories, too!
Happy for you!
Thank you so much! I’m delighted for my in-laws.
And may I just say: I’m in awe of your husband’s gift to you! Such a lovely, well-deserved gesture.
Yay Melodye!
Aw, thanks. You know how it is with family: we stick together, don’t we? If it benefits one, it’s hugely important to all.
And you know how it is with us Scorpios. When a problem surfaces, we’re laser-focused until it reaches a satisfactory conclusion. 🙂
I’m so happy that things worked out for you and yours, Melodye. You’ve been missed adn I’m glad to see you back around. *HUGS*
I’m glad to “see” you again, Kevin!! I’ve been jonesing for LJ time…I’ve felt lonely for all y’all in my absence!
Yay for the good news! Thank you for sharing. And glad you’re back to the blog and Witness soon!
Ah, Jeannine–so good to see your smiling face! It’s wonderful to breathe/see the larger world again! I can’t wait to get back to LJ and WITNESS!
Thank you! I don’t want to explain it publicly, but it was of huge importance to my family.
I say “goodbye” and you say “hello.” 😉
Yah! I’m so happy you’ve resolved the difficult situation.
Texas hugs and smiles to you and your family. Glad things worked out for you. Your in-laws are lucky to have you to look over them. Glad to see you back.
I’m blessed to be part of their family…and by extension, they’re fortunate to be surrounded with good thoughts by friends like you. THANKS!!!
Although I don’t know the details, I can sense your relief! I’m so glad the road ahead seems a little smoother now, smooth enough to let you have the headspace for tea and scones!
On a sidenote, I LOVE the picture you posted above of the badass little girl – I gave a pack of napkins with that same image on them to Mum for Christmas.
Mmmm, scones. I think I know someone who bakes cranberry orange scones that are outta this world… 🙂
So funny that you got your Mum a packet of those napkins! I actually bought myself a package just this past weekend, by way of celebration. They totally captured my fancy (and the moment), and I’m captivated by all the other designs the artist has created.
I’ve really missed you and your mom. There’s a Canada-sized space in my heart for you….How are things with my friends to the North?/ xoxoxo
I think you DO know someone like that. Hm, I can almost smell them … *glances longingly towards kitchen*
Things have had their ups and downs lately, but definitely on an upswing right now. Mum and I are in consensus that there is a badass-scale hole in both of our hearts for you! We should work on stitching those suckers up.
