The Christmas Quilt by Patricia Davids.
She straightened abruptly. "Nee. Jonathan is not courting me. He has his eye on my fried Karen Imhoff."

I've been down and out since Dec 20, with gobs of neck and shoulder pain and inflammation that left me with arms and hands in various stages of usability since then. My husband Wes and our two grown sons were wonderful over the holidays, helping me when I couldn't do for myself. They are my heroes. :)
I typed my 52/4 with one finger of my left hand a few days ago.
Been thinking of you, Helena, and hoping your new year is being easy on you. I've got some health challenges I'm going to have to tackle this year. Well, don't we all. :) And I want to get creative and make things this year too.
Hope you're doing well, dear you. Give Scooter a little hug and he will give you one back from me.
