Winners are: Valia Smith and Elma Lamoureux. Congratulations, Valia and Elma! New contest in progress; as always, just comment. Two winners will be chosen at random, notified, and posted here. Each will receive an autographed copy of my latest book.
Now, for the update. I am still under the weather. I became dehydrated and went in yesterday for an IV, and I was given some tests, mainly to diagnose or rule out a condition called c-diff, which results from overuse of antibiotics. Ironically, it is treated with more of the same. 🙂 It is highly contagious (who knew?) so no one can come near me except for one ranch hand, Kat, who has already been exposed. It certainly makes a person grateful for ordinary good health!
That’s all the news that’s fit to print. (Trust me, some of it isn’t.)
