Hi there, guys and dolls! Considering all that’s been going on in my girls’ worlds, things are coming along just fine. There’s still some rest and healing to be done, but everything’s as it should be and better than originally thought. Thanks be to you, dear friends and readers for all your love and good wishes.

Now my gals are looking forward to continuing on with my Poppy Cove Mysteries and all the other things they want to do. As someone said, to go back to their normal lives.

That sounded so calm and unassuming. Till they really started to think about their lives in the past year. Normal? Um, no it actually wasn’t. Personal issues of family members, other occupations, the poor health that led up to this month’s earlier event could hardly have been considered humdrum and routine. As things are definitely getting solved and/or becoming manageable, it’s left them wondering what the heck that is.

But truthfully, the beautiful thing is that they get to take the time to re-establish what that can be. Lots of talking, planning, dreaming, sharing what is and what can be. I don’t mind telling you my girls feel so blessed as they carry on my Santa Lucia life and create more, in good health and with happy hearts. May you all be given such an opportunity to create your own wonderful worlds or realize what you already have.

Toodles,

Barbara Jean
