*resurfaces*
Well I'm caught up with all the chapters. Phew!
I have a little confession to make. I stopped reading about 10 chapters ago. I dreaded opening a new chapter because I found it very difficult to read about what was happening to Ellery and the worry and panic Colson felt about their future. I'm sure it's because of events with my sister in law. It's like my 'worry levels' had reached maximum capacity and there just wasn't room for more.
But we spent the easter weekend in the country side with all our friends (including my sister in law and her family) and I can't tell you how good that was. Just like old times, lots of silliness and laughter, with unfortunately some tears as well. I think I have adjusted a bit to this new situation, awful as it may be. 'No way out but through', right?

Anyway, after last weekend I felt like I was ready to start thinking about Ellery again. And this story is something else. You've had me scratching my head a couple of times Louise, wondering if maybe
I was suffering from amnesia.
I'm so relieved that:
- Ellery's awake
- Colson's at his side
- Wes still is the fearless leader, even in hospital
- Edna's baking
- Paula and the doc are hitting it off. (I'm dying to read more about that, please, please, please)
- Joe is such a rock solid man
- Jeremy has Nicky to comfort him.
I hope my 'reading pause' makes sense Louise. It's a testament to your writing that I care so much about these people.
And Marie, your comments are always great to read! You really are the true spokesperson of the 'Colson and Ellery appreciation society'
