Hello friends,

After a hiatus that was much longer than I meant it to be, I'm finally back on DA.  I missed you all very much!!!  



To make a long story short, this last year was unreal.  After a major hurricane and a bad fall that resulted in a skull fracture (but thank God not any loss of brain power) left me so far behind at work that some things just had to go. 

The semester afterward I had to take classes to keep my job, which left me very little time for leisure and not much artistic creativity. 

I had planned to come back about halfway through summer, until first my daughter and then my mother-in-law were both hospitalized.  My 92 yr old mother-in-law declined slowly, which meant much time out of town until she passed away.  It was difficult for the family and also left me behind again at work.  My daughter is facing future back surgery and I covet your prayers.  

I am finally on track work-wise and very much miss both my art and my DA friends.

I haven't made a fractal in over a year, so it's going to take me a little time to get back in the swing of things, so bear with me.

Is there anything earth shattering that I missed, especially in the fractal community?   Feel free to answer in the comments.  I'd appreciate it especially if anyone has passed on since I was gone.
