This past Saturday, I visited the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to read a selection from "Lymeria" to patients.
It was really fun to be there and play with the kids. (I can't believe I lost that Care-Bear Memory Matching Game twice!)
It made me happy to know that everyone was able, if for just a few moments, to travel with me to the magical world of Lymeria.
I would like to say thank you to everyone that was there: the administration of CHOP, the staff, but especially the kids.....you know who your are...for allowing me this opportunity. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book and that Lymeria becomes a special place for you as it is for me.
I hope to come back soon. (Maybe next time I'll win that game.....)

Just a quick post to thank everyone who wished me well and give an update on where I've been! Also, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my best friend and writing partner Christy from Christy's Coffee Break for updating my comments and watching over my blog this past week. You did a wonderful job Christy without being asked- you're a god send and my touch stone and I don't know what I would do without you!!!!
I apologize to all of you for my absence, and I'll be back in action tomorrow with Tuesday's Question. Yes, I know tomorrow is Wednesday, but I hope you'll bare with me and stop and participate anyway. I've had some unexpected complications due to hitting my head a little too hard - although I thought I had a hard enough head to withstand anything, evidently I was wrong- in addition, I certainly didn't expect to have such a difficult time returning. I've posted 269 posts in 7 months on A Nice Place In The Sun and never missed a day, so you can imagine my disappointment and surprise at having missed this past week- I hope you will forgive my absence.
I've decided to take the advice of my dear friend Sandee from Comedy Plus and use Tuesday's Question to explain my unfortunate accident, therefore Sandee decided the title for tomorrows post. In addition, thank you Sandee and Dawn for checking on me in e-mails and stopping by several times with a kind comment and your concern. You two are also great friends and I appreciate you both for going out of your way to check on my welfare. In addition, thanks to the following bloggers who left a comment offering get well wishes this past week- I think you're all, in the words of Tony the tiger, "ggggggreat!" friends and bless you for keeping me in your thoughts. See you tomorrow for Tuesday's Question on Wednesday!

With heartfelt thanks to those who have served this country and who are serving still on my behalf.
Y'all. Y'all. Nearly 750 of you have started the survey, and nearly 350 of you have completed it. Thank you so, so much. We never anticipated such an incredible response, and are bowled over by how generous you have been with your time, your thoughtful responses, and your ideas. Again: thank you.
For those of you who have been putting off responding to the survey, or forgot about the survey, or have no idea what I'm talking about, first, read this entry. (Briefly, Liz & I are writing a book on pop culture & libraries. The survey is designed to find out what you're doing to leverage your pop culture collections at your library.) Then, if you are still interested in helping us out, please take the survey. It'll take you 15-30 minutes, tops, and will help us out immeasurably.
Like all good things, however, the survey is coming to a close. I'm shuttering the windows & rolling up the carpets on Sunday evening, around 5 PM EST. So speak -- er, type -- now, or forever hold your peace. At least until the book comes out.
Thank you, once more. We are in your collective debt, and we will do everything we can to ensure the book delivers on the promise of your contributions.
At the risk of sounding as if I am accepting an Oscar, thank you to everyone for your lovely comments and emails. Truly, warmly appreciated and stashed away in a lavender scented cyber-box for when I am old and grey and in need of loving memories. In return I was going to share my new dead things with you, but I find I am caught up with preparations for the Friday interview in London. I sit surrounded by piles of artwork, as I sift the dross for the gold, and prepare a couple of fat portfolios, which I will be cursing by the time I have hauled them on the Tube for the umpteenth time. Just one day in the Big Smoke will have me yearning to get back to this...
About a month ago I posted a Call for Guest Bloggers on AmoxCalli to review and recommend those wonderful old books we grew up with, books I consider classics of kidlit. I got some responses and lists of books people wanted to review which were fantastic. I knew of most, some I had never heard of and I'm looking forward to finding out more. I'm pretty excited about this new series, The Classics of Kidlit.
A couple of days ago, Liz B posted a link on her blog, A Chair, A Fireplace and a Tea Cozy (one of my favorites) to my Call for Guest Bloggers post and already I've recieved some lovely comments and responses with even more lists of great books. Today, another lovely comment from Becky at Farm School Blog as well as a post on her site about the series.
To all of you who responded to my call, to Liz for nudging it along, to all you wonderful bloggers, librarians, homeschoolers and everyone that loves YA and Kidlit, thank you, thank you, thank you! It's been a dream of mine to do this and I so appreciate everyone's contribution to that dream. I'm so looking forward to your wisdom, your insight, your wonderful ways of seeing things in books and most of all, sharing those great books and your thoughts about them.
If I missed anything or anyone, let me know.
This is going to be so much fun!

Hem. (Clears throat self consciously). Feeling a bit silly for letting off like that - being a secretive Cancerian I like to be in tight control of things...memo to self, don't blog when having a hissy fit. Thank you so much - everyone - who took the time to post supportive comments and e-mail me privately - you have no idea how much it helped - I spend so much time on my own that it's easy to forget just how many people are out there. Prima donna moment over; we soldier on. I decided to put into action a couple of things I've been avoiding. The first being to invest in a new computer and go broadband. I hope to be speeded up next week and will be adding a studio web cam to this blog. Which brings me on to the next thing - moving rooms. I've been putting it off for months now, but recently I almost wrecked a job because I had barely enough room to paint. So we decided to Do Something. Because as it is now...
I can barely squeeze myself past all my resources....
...to jam myself into the few inches of space...
...and sit for long hours creating...
...with half my materials buried in boxes.
If it was just my little part time hobby I'd put up with it, and thank my lucky stars I had any space at all. But I do earn a modest income from it, and now I'm expanding into type and print, there is no way on this good Earth that I can work in there. So we are having a major upheaval and I will be in here instead...
(and from where I usually blog)
My big painting table will go in front of the window where I will get lots of lovely light, instead of the shadowy, sideways dinge I'm working in now. Most of my waking moments recently have been dedicated to working out how it's all going to be rearranged. To this end I've been scabbing lifts off my friends, trawling house clearance shops and have found a few sticks of cheap second hand furniture which are now clogging up the downstairs room. (Yes, we only have one). I am going, literally up the wall - because that is where the spare space is. Most of my books are piled everywhere, as tall shelves are so expensive. But I should be getting a six foot square bookcase soon, donated by a friend and languishing at present in bits, in an old barn. In the meantime we are going to have great fun manoeuvring everything around in a small awkward upper space. But when it's ready I can move my little 'type room' from the coffee table downstairs and get started.
Next stop world - domination!
Glad you are feeling better and am awaiting your posting about this unfortunate accident. Just love you sweetie and when you dissapear it's scary. See you tomorrow. :)
Ann, sure glad to see your back!
Ann,
Welcome back :)
Hope that you are much better now, and that you have fully recovered. Now we await you post about this unfortunate event.
Take care my dear friend,
Colin
Ann,
It's so great to see you up and posting. Thank you for all of the nice things you said, I swear you are the sweetest person on earth, hugs:)You're just awesome!
Good to see you back alive (and hopefully kicking?:)
Take good care of yourself and don't try and do too much already, ok?
Oh Ann, you are such a wonderful person! I'm so sorry to hear about all the complications, but am very thankful that you are doing better and going to be OK.
And, stop your darn apologizing Girl! You needed to be away, and we all love you and understand that. Your health and welfare are much more important than making sure you post each and every day. We'll still be here - we just want you to be OK.
You're BACK!!! Yaaaay!
I do hope you are feeling much better... It's scary when a blogger goes MIA!!! {{{HUGS}}}
Just glad everything is ok...nice to see your smiling face back...:)
Thanks to all of you for your great comments while I was absent and in welcoming me back. Experts say that people who have great friends live longer, and I agree. All of you have made a big difference in my recovery and I know I'll carry what you've you've written this past week and in this post for some time. You all mean the world to me, truly you do~ :))
Ann
