Wow! One, I can’t believe all the nice things you’ve all said, your kind thoughts, the prayers, because I’ve felt the love, most certainly. Nice to know there are so many people out there who care, especially for someone you’ve never met. So thank you. I wish I could say I am popping back up and right back at full speed, but I am having a heck of a time getting over this bug. And now the little one has it, so here I go again.

I’ve had to yield my spot on the couch, and put on my Nurse Mom hat. And worse, I am off to Orlando on Wednesday for a librarian’s conference and then the booksigning in Clearwater, FL on Saturday, so I will have to pass the hat to the DH. At least he’s got experience with this, he was my hero last week. But still, the mom-guilt is there.

I did get my contest packs together for the April contest and the winners are:

•  Gladys P. of Houston, TX
• Monicke B. of Baton Rouge, LA
• Cynthia P. of Mooresville, IN
• Sandy M. of Logansport, IN

• Naomi C. of Yuma, AZ
• Luisa D. of Staten Island, NY
• Jane S. of Wasola, MO
• Lois M. of Perth Amboy, NJ
• Laurie T. of Burleson, TX

If you are a winner, watch your mail.  If not, enter for this month’s pack over on my Contest page.

Sorry if you’ve written me and I haven’t written back-who would have thought that Pippin and Dash’s story would generate so much email and chatter! Boy, folks are really passionate about this story. Do write me if you have something to say, but remember, I’m a little behind right now . . . in many ways.
