overdue thank you’s, awards, and a little winnie-the-pooh

“The notice had been written by Christopher Robin, who was the only one in the forest who could spell; for Owl, wise though he was in many ways, able to read and write and spell his own name WOL, yet somehow went all to pieces over delicate words like MEASLES and BUTTERED TOAST.”

~ A.A. Milne, The World of Pooh

I can relate to dear Owl. Sometimes it’s like that.

Seems October had a few (several?) days like that. And then November was, well, November. I’ve lagged behind and been remiss in acknowledging and sharing some lovely gifts.

So now that I’ve basically recouped from the late nights and the mental/emotional intensity of NaNoWriMo, and my home has returned to some semblance of order, I shall endeavour to catch up over the next few posts.
