I've been away for a while and it just didn't feel right to jump in without saying hi first. *waves* Hi. Now that I got that over with, let me get on with posting, will ya?
P.S. I've missed my friends and the B&B.

Where you been?
Growing a beard?
Glad you're back!
The pleasure is mine...I don't think I have had the pleasure? I guess then it's a hello and a welcome back to the place you were at before I joined from someone who wasn't here when you went away where ever it was you went away to and are now back from.
