Okay, Okay – enough already. You made my head swell and pangs of conscience were on me like seagulls on a fishing troller. It was unbelievable to me that people were like going into withdrawal by not reading a daily dose of my blog postings. Many of you let me know how tragic it was that I ended the blog. I felt as if you were mourning the loss with me of one of my kids or something!
I remember my nephew when he was in the submarine service out of Groton Connecticut. He was under water for 90 days at a stretch. And then he resurfaced and came into port and we’d see him again and listen to his stories – at least the ones that were not Naval top secret. I sort of did that for a number of reasons we will not get into. Needless to say but a heart wrenching email from a Wisconsin resident who I never met and then the teasing of some Covenant pastors today sent me back to the keyboard to press the “up periscope” button.
So here I am again bobbing up and down on the currents, splashed by the waves, and driven by the wind. Another Lakeview continues…



One very HUGE ENTHUSIASTIC welcome back!

Look at it as a vacation. Now I won’t get as excited as Cocoa used to when someone was gone for an extended time and returned. (peeing on the floor) Although I am happy to have your blog back.
