Hi,
To those who may be interested. I'm OK.
I haven't been on the internet at all - and as a result not at DK - for about 10 weeks.
The developments in Syria and Iraq and the extreme amount of bullshit often being pushed on the ınternet and media about them just got to me so I stepped away.
Also, the Syrian family who were staying on our farm were able to escape from Kobane, with great difficulty, and are in Suruc Turkey now.
My son got married and they are now expecting a baby - we had thought that this wouldn't happen until next year but there is that old saying "If you want to make God laugh, make a plan".
I may be back on the internet a little more this month and if I am I hope to be back here at DK too.
Take good care of yourselves.
Update: It's about 5:00pm here now and I'm going offline for a while again. It's been nice to hear from you all and thanks for your comments.
