Hello! Sorry for my vacancy. I kept thinking I need to write, I need to write, but I have SOOO much to catch up on. So I am biting the bullet and writing...

Wow, you have really had a full year. So what has taken you to Illinois? Are you a professor or something else? I'm sorry to hear about your grandma's passing. She lived a full and good life. I still remember my mom going to her for advice on "quilting". Neat lady.
