Hi friends! I am still stitching away my piece for Madeleine. That will be done in a few days.

We had a great weekend. I am very pleased to tell you that I am able to be out and about in the sun!😎 We had plenty of Memorial Day festivities here in our downtown village area. We just opened our door and walked down Main Steet. It certainly felt weird to be out on 95 degree sunny day taking in the sights and enjoying a car show! I have been staying indoors for over a year! I am so glad my neurologist moved away and I am now seeing his associate neurologist. He is the one who got me off some medications and adjusted my Topomax. That did it!! I have my life back! Now to just fix my shoulder, right?

I do not even recall how I came across The Letter by Kathryn Hughes, but I read it. It was a different style book for me. I knew the book description said the wife had a violent husband, but I had no idea the author would  go into detail with the beatings  or I never would have read it. Never. I grew up with my mom getting beaten, why on earth would I want to read about that?!? I almost stopped reading the book several times, but I pressed on. I am glad I did. I am sad to say that I actually grew to hate, yes truly hate Rick the husband. I do not want to spoil anything for anyone, in case you decide to read the book, so I am leaving it there.

Tina Craig longs to escape her violent husband. She works all the hours God sends to save up enough money to leave him, also volunteering in a charity shop to avoid her unhappy home. Whilst going through the pockets of a second-hand suit, she comes across an old letter, the envelope firmly sealed and unfranked. Tina opens the letter and reads it - a decision that will alter the course of her life for ever...

Billy Stirling knows he has been a fool, but hopes he can put things right. On 4th September 1939 he sits down to write the letter he hopes will change his future. It does - in more ways than he can ever imagine...

The Letter tells the story of two women, born decades apart, whose paths are destined to cross and how one woman's devastation leads to the other's salvation.

I am pushing on with physical therapy still twice a week for my shoulder. Still doing my daily exercises at home too. This is such the ordeal!😖 I am making progress, it is just so very slow.

I hope you have a wonderful week my friends. Thank you for stopping by. I know the comments are all messed up for everyone, but I am taking the time to check them and to reply to them by copying and pasting the comments to my email so I can respond to you.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  John 3:17
