Margaret Ford: A big "thank you" to everyone who liked my Kibitzer Cats well enough to read all ten stanzas, as well as my somewhat lengthy author's notes. Voting in this contest took some serious time and effort. You ALL deserve medals. Margaret
    valmay: well deserved first. I'm still rejoicing. -

    RGstar: Really happy for this, Margret, its the second one I have called this week so I must be thinking right and you doing right. This was by far, even not reading ALL the others, a mountain to peg back. Marvelous writing.
    Well done.

    Margaret Ford: Thank you to everyone who reviewed this for me (both the 'fives' and the 'sixes'), and an extra thanks to those who took the time to vote for me. You're all greatly appreciated, I promise you. Margaret

    RGstar: Aha. So you've called two in a row--just another one of your many talents, I see. Thanks for posting your kind remarks; I'm pleased that you were so happy about the contest results. Margaret

    Bill: Thanks for the congratulations you posted here, yesterday. I am, of course, delighted that you thought the win was deserved. Margaret -


Margaret Ford: Hi, there. I'm back, and want to thank you again for your well wishes and messages. When I first discovered that I was seriously ill, I had 201 reviews remaining to respond to. They're still waiting. I do appreciate my reviewers and I want to respond to each of your remarks, but I'll need to follow through with them a little at a time. I'm sure you understand, as you've always been a kindhearted bunch. Margaret
    kiwisteveh: Welcome back, Margaret.

    So good to hear that you are well enough to return to FS. Just take your time easing back in. Perhaps you can deal with most of those reviews with a generic, pasted thank you note, explaining that you have been sick. -
    MissMerri: Margaret, it is so great to have you back. You may, if you like, simply delete the old, waiting reviews after you've read them, and start over fresh with the new ones. I think everyone would understand and not really mind at all. 201 is too many to catch up with. -


Margaret Ford: This is Margaret's husband, Douglas. She is still in the hospital without internet access. I posted a poem that she had placed in preview mode, so it is now available for reviewing. Margaret sends her love to you all, and hopes to rejoin you in a few weeks. Thank you very much. Douglas
    I am Cat: Thank you Douglas and please give her our best! ❤️ -
    Taffspride: Please give her best wishes for a speedy recovery. -


Margaret Ford: I've been in the hospital during the last week, and off FS a great deal over the several weeks before that. I owe dozens of you replies to your excellent reviews, and will be catching up a little at a time. Thank you so much for your patience. Margaret
    Taffspride: Glad you are out of hospital and feeling better -
    mrsmajor: So glad you're out of the hospital, I wish you a speedy recovery...Take Care! -
    I am Cat: Take special care of yourself! -
