Hey there mart !

I keep skulking around here , but I'm usually far too late to post anything ,since all y'all are much quicker on the draw & active than this old guy !

Have been far too busy caring for a very sick person & that takes up almost all of the free time available .

Maybe next year I'll get back to being a 'regular' again ( I hope !!!) .

Best wishes to all !!

You have been missed !!  Just don`t forget about us !!  But I know that any one that is ill takes a huge amount of time !!  Maybe you can pop in occasionally and at least say hello !!  Great idea on the items use,, I would not have thought about that !!
