Missing Elsbeth again……

I was wondering what to read this afternoon when one of my sons happened to show me a miniature figure he had just finished painting. He purchased a new game just after Christmas, and he has been painting the figurines that make up the playing pieces. He is very good; a skill which I am proud to say he inherited from me.

I spent many an hour working with him and one of his brothers painting Warhammer 40K figurines and vehicles, and showing him the modeling skills I developed through my childhood and later in engineering classes.

Anyway, the figure he showed me was an Eldritch Knight, which made me think of The Lost Queen - which in turn made me think of Elsbeth and how much I miss her wonderful writing and amazing talent.

Wherever you are dear Elsbeth, I miss you and I hope you are in a good place.

Absent comrades.
