Back Again
Topic: This and That

I'm back!  I just started posting in the Rambling with Words Journal which you can get to with the link on the left.  I've had a lot of changes since I last posted so I'm excited about getting into it again.

Some topics, that I have on separate webpages, I may move to this one.  Thinking about all this.

I now am retired and live in the Pacific Northwest with my son and his family.  I'ts been a couple years of change so I'm deciding what is important and what do I really enjoy.
