One year later?!

When I was young, I had a diary a number of different times.  They all started out with a brand new physical diary, the kind with a clasp that folds over the cover so it can be locked with a special key.  That same key unlocked every other diary of its kind in the United States. As far as that is concerned, those diaries could be unlocked with a simple bobby pin, not that I would ever have used a bobby pin to open one of my sisters' diaries.  But I digress.
When I started this blog, I had all intentions of keeping it current every day, but as with all of my childhood diaries, it started out strong and petered out to nothing in a matter of time.  When I told Bill I was going to start it up again, he indicated that I would now have to catch everyone up on what has happened in the past year.  Nope, ain't happening. No apologies, no excuses.
I will, however, outline the general facets of life during my absence from this blog.
1. October 2016:  We meandered our way from New Mexico through Arizona, eventually ending up at our son Mike's home in Kelseyville, CA.
2. October 2016-January 2017: Spent the holidays with family, getting to know 3 foster kids then living with Mike and Jess.
3. Jan. 2017-mid-February 2017: Traveled to Quartzsite and Yuma, AZ, where I began seeking employment in earnest.
4. Mid-February to Present: Worked with a team from Dignity Health on a 9 1/2 month project, rolling out a new electronic medical record at 2 hospitals in "the valley." Bakersfield and Stockton, CA.
5. Present: In Las Vegas, NV, finished out the project remotely and explored Vegas.  Tomorrow we head out to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam.  Or wherever a whim might take us.
