After being away for nearly two months, I have managed to reemerge from the population of those who are internetless and plain old “too busy” with the non-virtual world to have time to blog.
Translation: we couldn’t afford to keep the internet connection after I was sick with influenza for the entire month of March and had to say goodbye to my daycare family who was the sole reason I could afford the luxury of connecting to the world wide web.
I spent March recovering in bed which meant I spent April trying to reorganize a home which had been without a wife and mother the entire time. You ladies know what I mean. I won’t go into the ugly details. Let’s just say that I had no idea the base of a toilet could grow a mushroom.
I came out of that nasty illness with a new enthusiasm for my role in this home. It feels so good to scrub a floor and hang clothes on the line to dry in the sun. I’m itchy to plant our garden and spend an afternoon pulling weeds. I am so thankful to have energy again! God bless those who are bound to a bed in pain and too weak to sit upright.
For those who wondered what happened to me, I apologize for not sending word ahead of time. I can’t wait to catch up on your blogs!

Well then… let me be the first to welcome you back. I was hoping you would come back sometime soon. I’m sorry you were sick - but I’m glad all is well (better?) now.
Be careful if you stop by my place. I heard it’s getting kinda raunchy over there.
Anyway, I’m glad you popped back in now so I could wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day!!!!!!
Take care, and “see” you soon…
Oh, and just one word of advice… DON’T EAT THE SHROOMS!
p.s. cool template :-)

It’s good to see ya, Jeff! It’s good to be seen, too. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Did anyone have a television appearance while I was gone? Any more broken bones? How IS his arm anyway?
Don’t worry about the schroom… I sent it to Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs and he’s considering coming out should I ever have another extended illness again.
Happy Mother’s Day to Char and Lois!!
