OK -- I'll jump in. Haven't been here in a long time because, well, things got hectic. My husband and I both retired and moved across the country from the east coast to a city in the Midwest where we knew no one. We pared down our belongings (helpful to read "The Life changing Magic of Tidying up"!) sold our house and bought a townhouse condo here 2-1/2 years ago. This year I was made president of the condo board. I've met some lovely people through volunteer work, several of whom I'd call good friends, and am super busy. I can't account for the long delay, other than I've been doing a ton of other kinds of writing and lots of gardening.
