Yeah! Welcome back. Missed your posts.
Oh thank goodness! Glad to have you back. Now I can stop speculating. (Well, no, I can't, not really, but at least I'll be distracted by shiny new blog posts...)

Persistence in the face of ridiculous odds is clearly one of the shared characteristics of this gang. Months of silence--and still at least 8 of us checked this blog today! May all of our other unlikely ventures pan out so well in the coming year!
Welcome back, and have a fun New Years!
I couldn't bring myself to delete you from my favorites...so glad that you're coming back! Even my non-writing DH was a faithful reader--and yes, he's delighted too.
