I'm back...seriously, I'm back

I hate bloggers that don't blog. So I now hate myself. OK, maybe a that's a little harsh, but my goal was to blog

Every.  Single.  Day.  This.  Year.

and I've blown it. Big time.

But I'm back now, I promise.

This summer was filled with too many medically related interruptions - my messed up eye, Bella's surgery, Gerry's lithrotripsy, followed 3 weeks later by his week-long hospital stay, but we are all better now, and I'll let Gerry wave good-by to medical stuff and hello to my blog readers. Hello!!!!!!
