It's a new day

hi all,
sorry for my absence a lot has been going on since my last blog post. To cut a long story short, I had some health issues, financial issues, personal issues - you name it I've had it. I figure there is always someone worse off and after having some time out at Camp, talking and sharing with friends, it has no only lightened the load but helped me to refocus on what's important.

To that end this blog will now be about me and my family and all the stuff that comes along for the ride
