I am alive...

I know I have been gone for a long time. We had so much going on in our lives that blogging went to the back burner. We had to deal with Doodle's dance, then I had to resign from my volunteer work, then I had surgery and a long recovery, then I had to readjust to going back to work, then I traveled for work for two weeks and ended up getting sick when it was all over. I will create separate posts for each of these items.
