I realize that not much new material has been added to the site in recent weeks, this is due to my family
situation. We have been expecting a new granddaughter and she was due this morning, so we have been getting everything ready which has taken much of my tike recently. Apparently nobody informed the baby and she arrived late last night, both mother and child are doing well. I will be taking a few days off to enjoy
the new member of the family.
