Hey everyone. Thanks for all the news. All kidding aside, the main reason for my abscence was the need to care for my mom. She's ok now, and back on her own, so now I have a little free time to spend elsewhere, (here?) Carl has continued well, and is excited about the Coast Guard courses he is taking to earn his commercial captains certificate, (small craft) His health, which has been greatly improved, has allowed him much more freedom, which in turn has made things a little easier for me as well.
My wish for each of you,as we enter this Holiday Season, is health and happiness, love and peace, hope and fulfillment foreach of you and all of your families and friends.
Blessings!
