Velvet’s not been able to drive since May. She needed some help in the heat, but she wasn’t scared at all. She’ll be at convention next month with us all. When she was ill with almost no strength at all, I was so frightened; and when the nursing care home told us that she might never go home again, I just lost it in the lobby. It’s been a hard four months. Maybe this is more than you want to know, but if I haven’t returned emails or responded in a timely fashion, there was a lot on my plate. This is not an excuse. It’s just how it is. Ken<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
