After a long absence....

Hi! I bet everyone was wondering why the site seemed to be in a suspended state for the last several months. Truth is, I was bogged down in a major software integration at work that had me working 50 hour weeks, and on top of that, I moved across the state to a new city after 27 years in the same location.

Can you imagine what kind of stuff I had to sort through after 27 years of accumulation?! Plus, my widowed mother is now living with me, so we had to combine TWO households into one home!! I gotta say that putting two women in one home after decades of independence is a real challenge!! I wasn't sure sometimes if the relationship was going to stay intact! But I think we're over the worst of it for now.

Anyway, I'm back with new energy and ready to start putting this site into high gear! So watch out! I've got some new articles coming up, there are lots of new photos posted (GREAT PHOTOS, by the way, guys and gals!), and we want to start offering some kind of point system for member participation in the site, so start sending us ideas of what you'd like in the way of perks and we'll consider your input, too!

Keepin' it rustic!
