Technical difficulties...sorry! Hope to be back soon!

So sorry for the lack of posts. I had to switch to the "new" blogger system because the old one is being fazed out, and after doing so I discovered that this "new" system does not support dial-up internet service! Since we are still in the "dark ages" of dial-up, I can no longer post from home. But this episode has prompted us to finally order a high-speed connection (gasp!), which will be installed in a couple of weeks. So I will return, but it may be a couple of weeks before I can begin to write regularly again. Thanks for your patience!
