It's been a long 6 months since my last post, and thanks to all of you that were concerned and wrote to check on me. I hit a rough patch on the Road of Life shortly after the returning from Amsterdam. I thought that if I just got through that crisis, everything would be fine, and I'd get back to posting funny pictures and stories...but it didn't work out that way; the rough bumps continue, and the light at the end of the tunnel is very dim....but I really enjoyed blogging, and want to get back to it, so I'm putting on my Big Girl Panties and will pick up from where we left off...on a happy day in Amsterdam with our friend, Jorgan (whose name must be spelled wrong because there is no "I", "U", and only one "J"). He treated us to a wine and cheese tour of the Amsterdam canals on his boat. What a very special day that was.

I leave in the morning for Art & Soul in Portland, but promise to post again next week before I head for a show in the UK.
