Happy New Year!!
To loyal fans who are more loyal than I!! I have taken the lazy road lately and have failed to blog. I see, though, that folks around the world are still checking in on me! Thank you!

I do have a problem, but a good one to be resolved soon. I have upgraded my phone from an Iphone 4 to an Iphone 7. I am spending a lot of time learning how to use it. And most of the time having fun with that. In fact I just volunteered at a convention this past weekend and used the QR app to record the number of attendees in a particular workshop! I felt part of the in-crowd.
My problem is that I can't transfer my pictures from the phone to my computer. I was suppose to go in today to have someone help me with that but I didn't have time.
I thought a quick review of major events of 2018 might be a great way to start out this new year. It was a difficult year in many ways, but also a memorable one.

2018 has past into history. I relish the fun days and memories while appreciating that Jesus has brought me through the difficult times. Now on to the new unknown adventures of 2019!
