O Best Beloveds

I’m going to have to step away from the blog for a while. Hopefully, not too long. There are some family issues that need my attention.

Please keep my family in your thoughts.

Love to you all.

RD

Update: My mother, AnnJane Barker Haas, died this afternoon. She was 80. We are all very sad and shaken. I will be taking the next week off for bereavement. Thank you for all your kind thoughts and comments. They really mean a lot to me.
