    Default Avalon...oh, how I've missed you!!

    Hello fellow Alalonians,

    Dave here...from Toronto. I used to post here regularly for quite a few years but am now returning after a 2 year self imposed hiatus. So much has happened to the world during that time and I feel there is so much to say and so much to question about what he going on. Simply put...I don't trust what is being fed to us by our mainstream media or by our governments (but these are subjects of other threads in other categories).

    On a personal note, I've had highs (bought a 3 bedroom corner unit condo last August)...and I've had lows (my father suffered a stroke last April and is also suffering from vascular dementia for which is is a shadow of his former self...also had to put my tuxedo cat, Booger, down last July as he came to the end of his life suffering from diabetes).

    Regarding what has been going on in the word (Covid, etc)....I felt I needed a place to share my views and opinions...and I knew I needed to come home to Avalon. In that regard, I reached out to Bill last Thursday to ask if it would ok for me to return and was elated to see his response Friday morning throwing out the welcome mat.

    I've missed you Avalon!! I may not remember many of you at first, but given time it will all come back to me.

    I look forward to conversing on many levels about many things. We MUST stick together, because if what I fear may be coming actually comes to fruition, we are in for a very bumpy ride.

    Warmest regards...

    Dave - Toronto

    What the heck? 2 years?

    Wow, time flies!

    Sorry to hear about the tough times. Our family suffered a difficult loss last year. The animals that we share our lives with are such a big part of our family, well, enough said.

    Good to have another Toronto soul around. Glad to see you again.

    They are worth a lot of money on eBay right now! Unfortunately, most of them fell off the windshield of Target's yellow Corvette.

    So, Dave, do you feel REALLY welcomed back?? I think you should! It doesn't seem like it could be two years since I last saw your picture. Avalon is indeed a treasure! 😍 Diane

    Hello fellow Alalonians,

    ...

    I've missed you Avalon!! I may not remember many of you at first, but given time it will all come back to me.

    I look forward to conversing on many levels about many things. We MUST stick together, because if what I fear may be coming actually comes to fruition, we are in for a very bumpy ride.

    Warmest regards...

    Dave - Toronto
    Nicely said! 🥂
