I have to apologize for being MIA most of the time. Believe it or not, I'm just very busy and really have little to blog about, usually. But, this time, I actually have news. Some 26 years ago I lost touch with my sister. It wasn't deliberate, but she'd moved, and I moved, and I lost her address. So, for the last 20+ years I have conducted an online search. Finally, about 3 weeks ago, I hit the jackpot and we re-connected, via email, anyway. The strangest thing was that my niece (who married at about the time of my move, leaving me her married name which got lost in my move, and which I couldn't remember, other than that it was German-sounding), was on my Facebook Friend list for about the past 2 years! So, she and I also reconnected. Now, a great deal of my time is taken up with emailing my sister (who lives in Washington State on the ocean - can't get farther west than that). To say that I am beyond thrilled is an understatement!!!
