~JANE AUSTEN saves the day..~


This is just a quick note to let you know how much I miss visiting and that I will be back again soon. I can't stay up too long at a time and tried to visit today but I have run out of steam. It's the weakness and constant nausea that get me down. Just please know that I am so anxious to be back and visit you all.

I am watching all the BBC works of Jane Austen and it has been a blessing! My daughter, Erin, bought the entire series for me last Christmas and this is the first chance I have had to sit and watch them. I am afraid my husband doesn't care for them. :)
I cannot imagine why?! :)

Love to all of you. I wish I had more to offer...
Mona

  1. Oh on the one hand I do and I don't envy you. To watch Jane Austen all day, I'd love it. To have a bad bowel, not so much.

    I hope your resting well and napping when you can. Let your body heal Ms. Mona!! Come back when your ready.

  2. Be well and turn your downtime into an opportunity with catching up on resting, reading, watching movies and all the other things we are usually too busy to enjoy.

  12. Mona Dear,

    I hope you feel stronger and stronger, and am also glad for you that you have this opportunity to delve so deeply and fully into Miss Jane's treasures.

    I do EXACTLY that when I'm not feeling up to par---a comfy old blanket and a couple of DVD's, and it's amazing that a bit of A&E will do as much for you as R&R---I watch the Austens and Poirot and Miss Marple---things from a gentler, more sedate time and place, and they're like tea and tonic.

    Feel Better!!

  13. I was a bit worried that You had become worse again so it´s great to read from You here! Well, Jane Austen wouldn´t be my first choice to be honest :-) :-) I´m more for comedies or romantic comedies myself :-)
    Take care now!
    Christer.

  16. Hi Mona, I am still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. You rest and do what you need to do to heal.

    We love you, sweetheart. Period!!

  17. I am just catching up with everything and I am so sorry to hear that you have not been well. You will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. My mom has dealt with similar things- endometrial cancer that had attached to her colon. She had a resection and colostomy bag for a while. I am happy to report she is cancer free now! I am so glad to hear that you have no tumors or cancer. Such blessings. But I also know that this sort of thing is tough and can really leave you feeling terrible. Hang in there and take good care of yourself.

    Hugs,
    Kim

  18. When I have down time, I like to get a journal and write all the things I want to create in it. This always me to come back to the pages and build upon the ideas.

    Hope you are better soon.

  23. Mona, I love Jane Austen, too, and have a lot of the movie videos of her books. My favorite is the BBC series of "Pride and Prejudice." I love the cast with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.

    Don't forget "Little Women" while you're watching. The one with Susan Sarandon as Marmie and Winona Ryder as Jo has some of the most beautiful snow scenes ever. The sets and the costumes are wonderful, too. Mr. Magpie and I love it and always enjoy seeing it. It's one of those movies of which I never tire.

    I am SO sorry you've been sick, and I pray that you are feeling much better soon. I have you entered for my drawing. We will draw for that some time in August when I return and hook up with my blog star, Cecelia. ;-)
