As Maria wrote on her blog today, she discovered something about her past recently that she is struggling to deal with.  “It’s all new to me,” she wrote, and I need to take some time to absorb it.” I don’t know if she will write about it, but not now; that’s not up to me.

For now, it’s strictly her business.

Maria has always supported me when I needed support, and I will do the same for her. We have, in fact, always supported one another; it’s a sacred creed for us, one of the ties that bind us.

I will take most of the weekend off. There will be less of me writing and taking pictures.

I will do two things on Saturday and Sunday: posting the food requests for the Cambridge Food Pantry – it’s Mexican Food Weekend – Enchilada Sauce and Salsa, for the first time. Both are very inexpensive and on the Cambridge Amazon Food Pantry Wish List.

You can purchase them at any time.

I also hope to post Flower Art on both days if it is feasible and Maria doesn’t need me. That’s about all there is to say about it. I’ll post Sarah’s food request tomorrow morning and then disappear for the day, returning to put up a Flower Art photo or too, time and circumstances permitting.

I want to be available to Maria every minute over the weekend and support her in every way possible. She’s done it for me a hundred times; I’ll do it for her. There aren’t too many things in my life that are more important than my writing, blog, and photography. Maria is one of them.

Thanks for supporting my work, those beautiful birthday wishes, and your patience and understanding. I’m sure you all know what this is like.
