What's going on?????

I must apologize to those of you who have been checking my BLOG and found no recent updates lately. This has been a really strange year, with a 2-1/2 week bout with bronchitis, a trip to the Austin (TX) area, lots of dental work, which eventually landed me in the hospital for 2 days, another 3-week trip to Lubbock (TX) to take care of a friend who was having surgery, etc. While I was in Lubbock, my home was burglarized, but I could not complete the loss inventory till I returned home about a week and a half later. Both my computers were stolen, along with what little jewelry I had, including my late Mother's, Father's, and husband's wedding rings and some other odds and end items. By the time I got that to the insurance company, my adjuster was on vacation, so YESTERDAY (June 9) I was told the settlement check was in the mail. Let's hope I can actually be back online in the near future. I am still receiving emails, but since I'm using a friend's computer or one at the public library, I keep all messages short and without attachments. However, I can still be reached at emaxson2@tx.rr.com and look forward to hearing from you. In case you are looking for my recipes, most of them are in the June and Oct. 2007 archives. Hope that helps!! Take care and happy losing, Liz
