Dear Friends...
   It's been a long time since I've been here and I've missed you all!
I promise to try and update/post later on, today.
   For the moment, and, so much more important, I'm posting at
Melinda's request. Sadly, she wanted to let her friends know that her
Mom died, early this morning. I know how sad she is and how difficult
these next days/weeks will be for her. Besides her Mom being so sick,
she's been in the midst of helping her daughter move and a bunch of
other things. Our Melinda, as always, is busy taking care of others.
   I wish we could be there to help take care of her, right now. Since
we can't, I hope that ASA's strength, prayers, vibes, spells, positive
thoughts, etc., will help her through what lies ahead. Please hold
Melinda and her family in your thoughts and hearts. Hopefully, she'll
feel our arms around her and find some peace and comfort, from friends
who love her.
  God bless you and yours, Melinda. Sending prayers for strength,
peace, ease, comfort and better days. I'm here, and, I love you!
