Karen, where have you been?! I hope you are okay, and that nothing is wrong...I miss seeing your videos! I peek in every so often and haven't seen an update in a long time...be well, and take good care!
Thanks so much for your sweet note! I am fine....in the middle of a kitchen renovation right now that seems to be taking all of my time and energy. I made my last video in July and intended to keep making them in August but the temps soared to 110 degrees in Texas and I make my videos outside in my garden area. My makeup was literally melting before I could finish a video! It was 107 degrees two weeks ago! I hope to post a new video soon. Hope you are doing well! Kisses~~Karen
Hi, Beautiful Lady!! Hope you have been well and happy. Yes, Lana and her hubby, Henry, have faced some difficult days this summer but they are fighting a good fight and have been surrounded with the love and prayers of many friends and supporters. Lana is a magnificent writer and has been recording her journey on her blog if you are interested. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! Kisses~~Karen
