Happy 2009

I hope you all enjoyed your holidays.

This is my first post for a while. I will try to start anew after a rather hellish 2008. My father was very sick all year. He died in October. Between that and a really busy job, well, the blog fell to the wayside.

I could barely read a cereal box, much less keep up any kind of literary book reading!

But, I'm back and hoping to pick it all up again.

Soon I hope to be following my fellow bloggers and being a culturalish kitten once again. This year, though, my library card will need to be put to good use! Got to tighten the belt, you know.

Best wishes to all for a peaceful, prosperous and healthy 2009!

Oh, and best wishes for the new year to you, Ms. LK. I've been wondering how you are.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father. That sounds very difficult.

You need to come over and have some tea. It's totally free, you know! E-mail me when you come up for air.

And much love to you,
Lily

I'm so very sorry to hear about your father, LK. What an awful, tough year that must have been.

It's very nice to see you back, though, and I noticed Courtney fessing last Friday, so you have never left out thoughts.

Here's to a much, much better 2009!

Kate, good to hear from you. Did I tell you I loved your book? I intend to write a belated post on it. (I also see Litlove has granted you a Best Of spot on her list. Much deserved!)
