Keep pushing the wrong button. 
          I just want to wish you a very Merry Xmas and a happy and successful New Year.
          Love Margi

We haven’t finished yet. Chuckle! The next one Sophie is 9 ( Bree is 13) and she sings beautifully and learning the piano. ( my maternal grandmother was an opera singer and her sisters ran a very prestigious ballet school) tonight she has a ballet recital and two nights ago, a singing recital. On the weekends she rides horses and has started netball. Very, very academic. Ofcourse having a teacher as a Mum helps that early learning before school. Actually Jess teaches her at school and says she is good in class with that but on the way home she gets told who needs help, who needs discipline, who is not doing as they should etc. Jess finds that a bit confronting. Chuckle!
          Now the little one Harriett (or Harry as I call her) who zings through life without a worry. She confident, self assured and fully aware. Also I need to mention the most beautiful looking child. Smarter than any of them in the household Jess says but a quiet achiever.  Loves animals and the farm.
          My garden is finished and growing beautifully. We have had some spring rains and it always looks wonderful after a rain.
          Turning 71 this December which is reflective. John will be 74. Mortality is a thought but it is what it is. We have been vaccinated and both have good health. 
          I am sure you indicated that Prince said you would find someone to share your life with. I have been with John 54 years and 50 married. We are really ‘two peas in a pod.’ We spent hours in the garden yesterday spreading straw for mulch.
          I will try to email you some recent photos of the garden soon.
          Please keep in touch. I am going to read your books again after finishing what I am reading. Prince stories are thin on the ground now as we say down under. I do hope HumanNature82 finishes her book and Intoxication is another book I like but not finished yet.

Dear Dana,
          Xmas is almost here again. Wishing you all happiness and health for 2022. I hope Prince is still in your life and keeps you smiling.
          Mena, my friend who looked after Prince 1992 in Australia, told me that her friend spent the night with him. So tempting but too disrespectful to inquire.
          My granddaughters are a true delight to our lives. They communicate, love and care for us in such a beautiful way. I tell my son Ben that as parents, he and Jess have done so much better than I think we did. Ben and James lacked but our time, as we worked too much. They are wonderful sons so I guess we did something right or it is in the genes.
          Alice has almost finished her first year at boarding school in Adelaide. She has done very well and loves the school but not keen on boarding.  She said to me, “ well! I guess I will have to suck it up.” One way of putting it.  She has turned 15 and 5’7” tall and still growing. Her Mum, Jess, is 5’10”and Alice is the living image of her.
          Bree, or Breezy as we call her, looks like Ben and me. We have olive skin whereas Jess and Alice are very fair. Ben skateboards with her and they have recently taken up surfing. She is very good at athletics and sport. Both are very academic and Alice won her scholarship for school in Adelaide.
          I hope I am not sounding too bias because I am very much so…….

Ive hit book 4 and I’m so torn between ending 1 or 2. My heart is so into the story and wrapped up it’s a battle. I didn’t think it would be this hard :’( which one do you think I should start with?!

I read you also had surgeries. Purple candlelight was missing for quite awhile and she did mention infection soon after surgery, so you think the worst. I hope you are also well on the road to complete recovery. Life down under is fine and my granddaughters are little women now. Alice starts boarding school next year which will be life changing for all of us.  She is very good at her studies and needs a school that will challenge her.( her words) Sophie, the third one, who sings, does ballet and drama, plays piano, swimming, has now added horse riding to her list of after school achievements. We are full time taxi drivers. She is very good at school also, so her world is broad. This beach holiday Bree (11) is learning to surf with her Dad. She worked for him to save up for her secondhand board. Harry, the youngest is still zinging in her happy world of animals,books and friends. They are a joy to see and be so involved with. John and I are very lucky grandparents to be so loved.
          Did your PP visit bring a man into your life as you intimated in your lovely correspondence after your trip? I guess covid has brought things to a halt at PP. Do you still feel Prince in your life? I hope you do as that was important to you at that time. Do take care and look after yourself. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Margi.  NB still trying to finish your books again.

          Check out this book please and thank you also hope you are safe and recovered from your surgery 

I don’t know about anyone else, but seeing all these votes and comments on my stories is making me feel warm and fuzzy.  
          
          Thank you :-x <3

Hello Dana.  I hope you don't mind me writing to you.   I have just my third (or could be 4th!)  reread of your excellent books and wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.   I am sure it takes a huge amount of time and effort and emotional cost to write like this.   While I am sure it is also a cathartic experience for you, it has a similar effect for the reader (speaking for my self but I am sure others feel the same).
          I have had interactions with him similar to the ones you described and they have also inspired me to be creative but when I read your writing - and a few others - I prefer to keep them to my self.
          I read here that you have had surgery lately,   I wish you all the very best for a speedy recovery. 
          
          best,
          Annie
