I have missed my own blog…first…we were in Colorado for a huge amazing Bat Mitzvah for my niece Sammi.   It was beautiful.   Then…sickness struck!!!   It sort of sneaked up on me and all of a sudden all I could do was cough cough cough!!!  Raspy whining voice…head aching…not a thought about food…barely sipping chickeny soup…Nurse Lucy leaping from our bed when cough cough coughing set in…ick ick ick…I could not read on the plane, I have been away from my beloved laptop…and then for three days I couldn’t even write in my blog…what a mess…Dennis ( husband ) professing he was immune to it…and now he has it too…yuck…yuck…yuck…I have not even looked at a book since the last Monday we were in Colorado!!!   All I could do was clutch my Kindle with a devout heartfelt yearning…hee hee hee…I couldn’t even remember which book I started a week ago…feverishness must have affected my memory…but I am back…sort of…still coughing but with charged Kindle in hand…I read Barbara Delinsky’s ” Not My Daughter” while we were away and it was delicious yet irritating…read it and you will see why…
