I hope this is permissible. I've copied and pasted a comment that I made on another person's blog several days ago. I just wanted some people to know why I have not been engaged in some of their blogs.
When time permits I will return to AR. Meantime I miss those of you who I have gotten to "know" in my brief time here. I look forward to catching up.
I miss you,
Kathleen

Paul...I turn to your blogs because of your sense of humor and your ability to provide interesting material.
I live in Virginia but am back up in Connecticut. I was up here just last week because my husband's roommate from West Point committed suicide and we were at West Point for the funeral. We also then spent some time with my 90 year old mother in Connecticut. My husband and I returned home just Sunday night.
TUESDAY* evening on my way home from the office I received a call from one of my sisters telling me they were waiting for the ambulance to arrive to take my mother to the hospital. My mom lives alone by choice. On Wednesday she fell and was not able to get up off the floor. My niece and her daughter went to my mom's and found her. Needless to say, I was on the road yesterday driving back up here. It took me 11 hours because of the weather/traffic. Fortunately we were able to bring my mom home this afternoon.
I turned on my computer after being off it for a couple of days. And this is what I found.

(I just looked at this post again and it probably is very confusing to those of you that have read or will be reading this. I'm referring to two posts and/or comments that generated some hard feelings, it seems, between people. It made me feel bad especially because I seem to have been the one that made a comment regarding a very innocuous thing and one thing led to another between two other people. I found out later. Anyway, I'm not trying to be mysterious but this is really about that and I thought I might owe an explanation as I wasn't just using this to bring attention to my absence but rather what I look forward to when I come to AR.)
Following the suicide of a friend and my mom's fall I wanted to feel good.
I almost always do when I log on to AR. That is what it should do for us. It should be a place we can get together and help one another out with our humor, our advice, and our friendship.
Let's all work hard to make it the place we all want to come to and that we all receive the good things we need.
I have enjoyed posts from so many of you and will continue to. I'm too new to know who's in and who's out, who's up and who's down, who's inside out and outside in.........and I hope it never matters to me. I just thank you all for creating and maintaining such a valuable site for all of us.
Take care all,
Kathleen
*I changed this to Tuesday (I had put Wednesday in my comment) because I realized that I had put the wrong week day. Just goes to show how little sleep I've been getting. In fact, last night I slept about two hours.
