First of all, beaucoup thanks to all of my friends who did not give up on me, given my name change, and allowing my Gift Box (I wish it were my dance card, etc.) to brim over. Y'all have been wonderful by gifting me when you were able, etc.

Without going into laborious detail, suffice it to say, that I have had a lot on my plate.

Most recently, Olivia, my 10 yr. Tuxedo cat went missing on August 31st. Despite all my efforts (she was micro-chipped), it was not until Tues aftn when I learned of her death the day after she went missing. Being a state road, the DPW picked her up.

A lovely man from the DPW delivered her remains to me Tues, and my neighbor and I buried her in my friendship garden here at my home. It brought me some closure, knowing she was home again. Painful, painful. But, I will always cherish her and the special relationship that George had recently developed. Snuggling on the big bed with me...etc.

Enough. The other stuff is minutia compared to that.

I'll do my best to be a better friend and more frequent player. More details at 11.... Maybe Nov? JK

💓to all, Good to be back, Deirdre (Derd), and George, my main squeeze, my GoldenDoodle
