Well, it's been a while- we've been dealing with personal issues, some good, some not so good.  We had our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary- good!  My brother-in-law's 60th birthday- good!  Some dear family members in ill health- definitely not so good.  My wife and I are hanging in there- think good thoughts for our mothers if you feel so inclined- thanks! In the meantime, I have been stealing a moment here and there at the bench, and having fun with this elegant little project.
