We were fortunate enough to have Deb and Laurie over to our house for afternoon tea this past weekend! Deb looks fabulous, and was sufficiently energetic that she wanted to see our entire Victorian house (three stories + basement + carriage barn). She needs a cane for steadiness and has some tremors as leftovers of her neurologic damage from the porphyria, but she looks MUCH better than she did the last time we saw her in the hospital last fall. :) Laurie also looks good, and she and I had some nice visiting time (rather than the meeting-in-passing that we've done in the past) while
akycha was primary guide for Deb.
I am SO psyched about getting to see them!
Thank you all again. It was this time last year when the fundraiser started to come together, though we didn't start running it until later in April. You did wonderful and amazing things for a couple of wonderful and amazing people!

Also, I am currently holding a small fundraiser for lesbian author/editor Julia Penelope, who is struggling with medical bills while coping with congestive heart failure. Please see
this post for information. Even a few dollars tossed into the virtual hat would be helpful for Julia. Thank you! (Sorry that the incentives are geared toward my web serial readers. :} )
