Blog Pause and Return

 Hello, all,

I have been absent from the blog for a little while.  

In June, my mom had major surgery on a Monday and then emergency surgery on a Thursday. On that same Thursday, my father died.  

I decided I needed to step back for just a little bit in order to have the time to handle what I needed to do (mainly care for Mom; my father's death "aftermath" is the responsibility of his second family).  One of the items I could "pause" was my blog posting. I set a goal to be back to three times a week in August. 

So I'm back, and I hope to stay back.
