Ok... so, I didn't fall off the earth

Hi anyone who reads this... I just wanted to say, HI!!! here I am! I have had a busy few months, with my husband away on a boat in the Pacific (right near Tonga... he was studying seismic activity on the ocean floor in the month or so before they had the volcano erupt there... probably obviously in hindsight, it was pretty wiggly), and with 2 major illness going through me and my kids in one month. Oh... and I spent 12 hours doing a painting that I was asked to do for by daughter's school's auction, and 6 hours doing art for the school calendar, and I was asked to take over a friend's business at the end of March.... so, it's been busy. Anyway... Onward.
