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
