Greetings~
When I had to leave this place, I was a married woman with two children. Now I’m a relatively new divorcee.. I’m 43 now, back then I was an Ellie.. but once 40 hit, I decided to graduate to Eleanor.
I play pickleball almost every day. They are my seniors by at least 15 years, but they hand me my ass on a daily basis. I do declare, the new 70 just very well may be the old 43. I can’t remember if I was a carpenter when I left, but I am now. I’m not a very good carpenter.
I was also just reunited with my cat. I will Always have cats… they So make me a better person. Such a relation between felines and females, her name is Lucy Lou~
I came back for all of you. Nowhere else in my life have I found such a listening kinship and support system.
My beautiful friend! I have missed you! Only for you would I pay to stay here! Although now that I have I will also try to write. I am so glad to hear your typing voice again!
@ladyhawk_1 I can reply to note now! I’m so happy you get to be the first 🙂 Write pal, pinky swear, you get to hear my typing voice again, hahaa I’m gonna get to hear your typing voice again xoxo

Welcome back! Being a carpenter is very impressive, even if you don’t think you’re a good one 🙂
I was just reading about pickleball the other day – it has become very popular, but I was not familiar with it.
@thediarymaster how fitting my second response is to you 🙂
When carpenters first start out, they have to start from the bottom, and are known as the “grunts” My first day, I was asked for a measurement and I said it’s 4/16″. They must have misheard me, and called it out as 1/4″ instead.. So..I said nu uhh, it’s 4/16″ for certain.
I’m no longer the grunt, but still see some of those guys in crews. They’ll still call 4/16″ just to make me smile.
Now pickleball…here in Illinois, I first met pickleball when I was 14 in PE. I was a power house proud to say, and even got some trophies! But I switch hands, and never learned a backhand. Those old bitties know that’s my cryptomite, and they’ll slam backhands on me left and right, I love it!
And thank you both for such a warm welcome
@iget2bme that 4/16s story is priceless 🙂
