Thanks, Anne. Dont know about being back, but I had a number of concerned emails from readers and felt I had to fill people in. Maybe when I get a handle on all the probate and financial stuff I can sit down and start blogging again. Maybe cathartic. Maybe not. New baby is due sometime after the middle of June.....not exactly sweater, hat and blankie weather in Baltimore! So, Ill make something for fall instead....thatll give me more time! Hugs! Marcia

Oh, I couldnt have made it in a hotel, for sure. Great place...weve used it before and love it. There are sculptures and paintings in the place worth twice what our house is worth. Fun neighborhood, too.
