Briefly, Here Is What Has Been Happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        I must apologize to all my girls and readers for not being on as much as I should have been.  That is because my David works remotely from home on Monday and Tuesday, and between that, and shepherding both of us to our respective doctors, I have not had a substantial amount of time to sit here and pound out things that are long overdue.

                                        Speaking of overdue, I am so far behind in my reading.  You know I set the bar every year at 100 books, and in many cases I go over that.  This year, because of events, I am only on my 66th book, which is --

                                               And while it is a very satisfying read (and I am intrigued by "Cleopatra And Frankenstein;" I mean, the title alone!) it is not going to be one of my top five contenders.  I feel like I should have found my Book Of The Year by now, and I just haven't.  Maybe at the last minute? The point is I am behind, and I need to do more writing.  Which is why I am writing a post attempting to explain what is going on.

                                                  Wish me luck, girls, because it has been a challenging year, for both David and I, for reasons which must remain private.  But I cannot stop us from joy!

                                                      So, keep reading, dears!  You have not been abandoned!!!!!!!!!!!
