Well, life has been interesting since I last posted.  I've recovered from my surgery, retired from 30+ years in the IT world, had a new floor put in our kitchen because of a leak in the dishwasher, had a new roof installed due to hail damage, and had to say goodbye to our two cats.  Nomad went first because of pancreatic cancer and Tom Thumb last Saturday because he was suffering  from liver cancer.

I sold all of my soap equipment and supplies to a fellow soap maker and am in the process of looking at condos so we can downsize.  I will be making stained glass windows and suncatchers as a hobby as soon as we get established somewhere.  Life continues.
