Good morning, friends! This is Emily Betts, a close friend of Maribeth’s and writer of The Altogether Unexpected. I do hope you are finding yourself well on this final Monday of February.
I do have some rather unfortunate news concerning our dear friend Maribeth. Rest assured, she is alive and well, but her right arm is in a less than favorable position.
In a fateful turn of events this past Tuesday, a blast of rare winter weather hit Louisiana and covered the roads with an unforgivable, slippery layer of ice. Playing with her siblings in the yard, our friend slipped and fell on her arm, breaking her right elbow, which necessitated a surgical procedure full of plates and screws.
As you have probably already concluded, her arm is in a sling, and she is in the relatively painful beginning stages of recovery. The fingers of her right hand are very clumsy and impossible to position over a keyboard right now, so she has resolved to take a break from blogging for a month or so in order to heal properly. She’s told me she hopes to be fit to blog again around mid-March, and I certainly hope she will be! She’s resting well, her family is taking wonderful care of her at home, and she has sent Yours Truly to announce a much-needed blog hiatus.
She sends her love and heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your prayers and understanding. In the meantime, please do leave comments and warm messages, as she will certainly be reading them during her recovery! She is so thankful to all of you for your faithful continued support and readership, and is so looking forward to coming back to you all soon.
Signing off,
Maribeth Barber Albritton
