remember me?

hello friends,
i'm back.  almost.  my computer (my first computer i ever purchased) bit the dust shortly after Tabor (i hope that's ok to say?).  we have welcomed a new one into our home.  (computer, not reptile)  and since this sweet beautiful lap sitting love is only a few hours old we are enjoying getting to know it.
more to come soon.  there are quite a few posts up my sleeve.
