I would like to apologize for my not being active in the forum lately. My personal family responsibilities have taken over pretty much full time these days and I only have a little time to get on Facebook each day. If possible I will try to set aside a day during the week and devote that day to the forum and try and get caught up with things. I really miss talking about puppets, most of my stuff is packed away and I on occasions go out to my building and just look at it. Perhaps one day I will be able to get back in it. Until then I'm still around just not active in puppetry. I again apologize for any inconvenience and will try to get back into the loop of things   

Billy,
   We have missed you.  There are season for everything. Puppets will come around again. Take care.

Julie

Thanks Julie! I do frequently see good things about you on FB I'm glad you are doing well. Keep up the good work. I would like to say "Welcome" to any new members. If I haven't met you yet my name is Blly a oldie here at the forum. I hope to get to know you in the future. My Thanks to Shawn he keeps things running good around here whether I'm around or not.

Take all the time you need Billy.  We'll be here when you need us.

Thanks Shawn! that makes me feel much better. I did feel guilty abandoning ship so to speak without explanations. Things just got overwhelming and until I got in control of things I couldn't concentrate on anything but what was at hand. I can't get into details about it but want everyone to know that you are in my thoughts each and everyday. I'm glad puppetry is thriving and doing well. Shawn I did want to ask when is the actual anniversary date of " Puppets and Stuff" I think a celebration of that day is in order. I'll try to jump in periodically and help you out more. Thanks for being understanding.

Hi Billy! Don't feel bad for not being here as often, I totally understand and hope everything is well for you and your family. Take care of them first; puppetry will always be around when you're ready!

Thanks Na! and it is nice to know you are in the back ground keeping the place safe!

Haha, oh your timing on that is brilliant. Because I just kind of left a little unpleasantness on the forums.

I really think Shawn's the one keeping the place safe, I'm just trying to rein myself in most of the time

Hi Billy, I've read countless pages of the archives and have seen so much of your valuable input so it's cool to know you're still around.  And as a new member, thank you for the welcome!

Hey Billy, I am glad you  might visit  a little  more often. You are welcome any time. And YES,  a BIIGG applause for Shawn. I am so impressed that he manages to do what he does  (thanks Shawn).
