Alice I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Work is important, but your family and you come first. May 2026 bring you happiness, health, and prosperity. Blessings. (Sorry for the English—I'm using Google Translate.)

I know I have appeared absent and to a degree I have been, I had a good Christmas until I knocked my self out, but that is whole embarrassing story so I will let you all wonder about that, I have also spent many hours of many week defending myself against a vicious witch hunt, I can't say too much about that either, suffice to say I have been accused of behavior that those of you who have followed this website for many years would be shocked at the things I have been accused of, as are everyone who knows me at all. I have started gardening, which I was never really interested in. It has been a good distraction and I have got my 8 year old granddaughter interested as well. I will post some pictures of my Christmas with my husband, gardening with my granddaughter and my little monkeys climbing the walls (at their house, not mine, Rick would never stand for that). I am working in the background to get things sorted out on the site, I have to stop letting the perfect be the enemy of the good and will start the re-run of some alphabets that went haywire. I will keep everyone updated.

Alice, you are missed! Did you have a good holiday? Are you well?

Alice?

Happy new year!
