Hi Aunt Bea,

Without posting, I echoed John's sentiments below that calamities should come in ones... if ever, and then I read your comment about 2016.  May things get better for you and your loved ones quickly!

Although Connie and I are healthy and well, I've had a bit of an unexpected bumpy road lately, which has kept me away from the forum for awhile.  Although we can all joke with each other about invisible friends, this forum has been one to me for the past few months, just knowing it's here and hopefully thriving.

Thanks for the best wishes from Praline and everyone else and the same from me to everyone here.  A truly happy new year to all!

Bob
