Return to the scene...

I pretty much fell off the board back in 2013. some of you knew that I had a subdural hematoma in April that year. I have been playing catch up ever since. The Doctors have told me to slow down and last year the business had dwindled to almost nothing so I decided to retire. Good intentions. I got sucked back in but at a much slower pace. I am training a young gal the craft and she is coming along. I will try to get to the board and contribute when I can. I would like to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving. Take care all.

Gear Up (Lynn)

What comes after that is staying on the top side of the soil. Thanks for the comments. Always enjoyed coming to the board. Alway willing to speak their minds and impart the wisdom that came with the road they took. I'll stop there otherwise we'll have to get the butter out. The door is only so wide.
