I don't know if anyone ever reads these posts (haven't had any replies) but thought I would update my blog.
I have not been on here for a quite a while due to a series of circumstances. One was the very slow dial up connection I had. I now have satellite broadband which means that things have sped up a little. I don't have one of those lightning quick connections my friends in major cities have but what I have works for me. So I can be on here more now.
The other reason has been extensive traveling. I have been in Switzerland and France for a while but am now back in Spain and hope to stay put for the summer until I take off for the States in October for my family's bi-annual cousins reunion.
So I guess it is up to me now to be a little more active in my groups and try to re-establish old connections.
