One of the interesting (that's not the correct word either) things about last month's incident is that, whereas my spelling has always been nearly automatic, at the moment I have to linger over any word more than four letters long,

i.e, I spent several minutes on that 'whereas' word (oh, oh, that 'several' has added some minutes). Sill, I'm get better.

Cora, I find it admirable (that is correct, isn't it?) that you can be confined to your bed yet still find time to send out your good wishes to others.Thank you and hope you're up soon.

Cora, one of the items I look forward to each morning is reading what ever you have to say. Informative or reflective, it is always worth reading. DO NOT EVER STOP! Your recent piece reveals what a brave girl you must be. The problems you've had, healthwise, knocks my little incident into a cocked hat! Yet you remain so sympathetic and positive. You are a gift to this site. And at 37--my dear lady will suspect me of flirting with a dolly-bird! ( any female under 50 is a dolly-bird)

Recent events have forced me to give up driving--after months of pleading from my dear lady and advice from my family (all ignored since I haven't had an accident for many years). I had to admit to myself that if what had happened at the breakfast table that morning, had happened when I was driving--WHOOMP!--more people than just myself could have suffered. So in the end it was my own decision.

Disposing of the red Mazda turned out to be easier than feared. When I approached my second son Gary, to see if his 18 years old son would fancy it--he thought if would not be BRUM! enough for him. But my son told me that his own partner Marina, was on the verge of learning to drive. She had always admired the Soul Red of my car. And to make the situation perfect, it happened to be her birthday on the 12th February. He rang her, told her I want to speak--well, when I asked about a special birthday present--told her what it was--she broke into tears of gratitude. Silly girl!

So, now--no car and legs that still don't work so well--I'm going to have to step up the exercises.

How does the song go? "Make just one person happy--"

When they come out, read them if you get the chance. After you read Red's chapters, of course.

One, I must get back into reading. Two, thanks for yet another plug, Jeff.

There is so much good feeling flowing in the atmosphere her---and then Jeff has to mention the approach of baseball!

However he did mitigate (hell of a word that, take 3 attempts)--he did mitigate it with a very pleasing plug for 'THE HIGh------' Thanks, Jeff.

How did you both know it was 18? I thought I'd kept it a secret.

Thanks to all for the continued good wishes. Tests in comprehension, both written and spoken, seemed to satisfy the speech therapist as she is not coming back unless I send for her. That is two areas of back-up disposed this week, so things continue to look up. Sorry to hear of your legs spasms, Cora-- Is 'keep taking the tablets' appropriate? Today I moved on to seven in the morning. Now you take careful of yourself!

Quickdraw : blueberry shortbread cookies,

Shortbread! Can't resist shortbread. I'll just sit here with a hot chocolate and two or three cookies while I ponder whether Cora's fascination with the game pages is keeping her from the promised suspense story-- or is that part of the suspense?

Wow, only one error and done in good time. Things are get better! And the speech therapy is due today! Hope she is pleased.

I think I might start writing my Suspense story today. It's been in my head for a while.

Plenty of room for it up there, is there, Cora? Sorry, my childish mind couldn't resist that-- but seriously I will look forward to the complete piece. Just stay calm with it ! And fresh cookies tomorrow, Sara. Can't wait! Since you're helping with family history tonight, how about a range of cookies depict baby to infant and on up to teenager etc to grandad. Whatever, I'll know I'll enjoy them.
