Diana, I've worried and wondered where you've been for a whole year. Not wanting to be nosy, but ???? You've been missed.

So very glad to see your name in my in-box tonight! It's a spot of flowery cheer in these strange and strained times. It's wonderful that you feel up to doing things now and then (aren't those days a treasure?) and that you're listening to your body about what you can and can't do on any given day. How is it that we hated naps so much when we were kids but that they seem such a reward now?
Congratulations on that sweet new boy in your life!
