Speaking of being absent, we’ve had email server issues for two days now. I can’t get them on my computer at all and James’s is iffy too. So if any of you have been trying to reach me by emails and have gotten no response that’s why. I’m sorry; we are working on the problems but it may yet be several days more before things are working as they should be once again. In the meantime, I pray that all of you remain well. Love, Natalie
