Be careful what you wish for......

Let me explain why I haven't blogged in a while.

When I was a child, I was always very healthy. I had rosy cheeks, and plenty of energy.  My poor sister, on the other hand, was often pale. She often suffered from headaches, and she often felt poorly.  Of course I felt that she was getting much more attention from our parents.  Ah, I just wanted to be pale!  I wanted to look as though I were suffering.  Do you remember Heidi's friend Clara?  The poor thing was fading. I always pictured her draped on a divan,  suffering.  I tried to picture myself in her stead.

I didn't give much thought  to what it would be like to actually be sick,  I just wanted to look like it  sometimes.  Was that too much to ask?

Here comes the part about being careful what you wish for,  you might just get it.  Well, I got it.  I've had a number of health issues,  and I now get my rosy cheeks from a tube. 

I'm sure I'll be fine soon, and then I will share pictures of spring flowers in my garden.

Oma!! I hope you feel much much better soon. I'm sure you will. In the meantime, I'll bring the boys over to cheer you up (and hopefully not exhaust you too much!).
