I'm here but have been having computer problems off and on for several weeks (no power for several days then telephone line problems --bad static. Dial-up just doesn't work well with bad lines). Also, I've been kind of down because I had to bail out of a long-planned canoe trip at the last minute. So sad to see others take off without me. sob, sigh. Right now I'm working on blocks for the 3 Rippettes whose birthdays are next week. One and a half done, 1 1/2 to go.
