Greetings everyone!

My return to the website in earnest has been delayed again.  No sooner did I get the operating system software on my laptop re-installed and software back up and running, the computer itself decided that it had gone as far as it was prepared to and blew it’s cooling fan.  Due to age it wasn’t practical to repair, and the heat build up quickly ‘baked’ the machine.

That led to the search for a new laptop, which being the research junkie I am that took some time.  After securing a decent deal via Black Friday sales, I was up and running with a new laptop.  Well, running being relative, as out of the  box computers tend to not do too much.

After a number of hours getting everything reinstalled and set up, I am back in action.  Just in time for Christmas…

I have been busy in the kitchen, getting my usual collection of Christmas baking laid up.  Tarts and cookies galore, enough to get thru the season and have a stock in the deep freeze for future enjoyment.

I will be getting back into the swing of things here shortly.  In the meantime, I will be spending time with friends and family over the holidays, and I hope that you will as well.

From Kathy and I, and our K9-Kids Eve and Harley, we wish you all a very happy holiday season (however you chose to celebrate), and a Healthy, Happy and Amazing 2016.
