I finally sat down long enough to check out rfc and see where you have
asked about me. Thanks for asking I'm still here but barely due to
life's demands right now. We spent most of January travelling then
spent the first week of February getting the house back into high gear.
I have some great pics so I might post some of the food ones on
tinypic if I ever have time. I'm heavily into genealogy right now but
had to take a break since BIL is in ICU then DD is have similar problems
so my time is needed for family support. As far as cooking goes, I
*think* I have this year's garden planned so that will be next. We are
doing a lot of eating from the canning shelf and freezers so nothing
really new to report. AFAIK if all goes well with BIL and DD, I will be
away a fair amount of time in March. I have internet when travelling
but with sight seeing and everything else going on, I really only check
email. Anywho, I really have to run. I just wanted to let you know
everything is ok. I'm hoping to get the time to read and post again
after March. Take care.

PS. No, I have not used any other nyms here and I wouldn't do that
without announcing a nym change. I think that would be unfair to those
who already know me here.

PPS. Waves high to everyone. Hope all is well & you are all cooking up
a storm.
