I'm here! Like I promised. Happy to reconnect. To bring everyone up to speed, I've spent the last five years being sucked into the dark side of politics. I've lost Facebook friends over it and became obsessed with it, if not possessed by it. Then came the most recent global plague. I'm a high risk and that made me nervous. The stress and anxiety has affected my health. I've had some medications changed to get me back on track. I now have six grandchildren who all live with their dad in Utah. I still live with my daughter in South Jersey. My son's well drilling job disappeared after covid slowed the demand for natural gas and oil. My daughter's jobs in produce importing vanished because of crooked managers. A week before the covid lockdown in our area, she was hired by a boiler company in Philadelphia. She thought she'd be out of work yet again, but it turned out her employer was considered essential, so she's worked steadily ever since. I'll try to be more active, but I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed by so many things going on all at once. All I can say is I'll do my best to keep going here and elsewhere.

We are living in tough times due to the pandemic and other natural disasters. Keep our eyes on the prize is one way to beat this dark period.

We sure are, but I finally have hope. I'm holding on to the lifeline.

@Deepizzaguy Whoa! That hasn't happened up this way since the ice storm of '59. I had to stay with my grandparents who still had power.

@jerzgirl I know what you mean since my relatives and myself are still recovering from hurricanes Laura and Delta which knocked out electrical power for four weeks.
