I’ve missed you too! I took a bit of a blogging break at the end of the year…. It started out as a break when we went on vacation to visit our son, and just kept going…😁 We’re doing well here. How about you and Rick? Sending hugs!

Good for you! We are good. Our lives have been full with our new extended family from Ukraine. We’ve seen two get on their own feet, now have a single woman staying with us.

Wow, that’s amazing! It has to be so rewarding to be able to help people in that way, especially when you see them then get out on their own. I’m glad you guys are doing well!
