Is it my newsreader, or are there only a few posts a day? Until
recently, I hadn't been active here for several years, and back then
there were maybe 25 - 50 posts a day (very rough estimate!). Is it
really that quiet now?

I recently found my way back myself. I'm on Facebook but use rctn for my stitching fixes! For a quick fill in:
I became a great aunt in August (even found the MLI baby in a basket chart that I had bought on sale YEARS ago) and now have to frame it, stitched "Farmer John" on a denim style bib that is now to small for Baby John to wear and stitched a tabletopper for Baby's mom, who married my nephew last March. I've not actually met her because they live in Hawaii but my sister says "she's a wonderful girl". It's always nice when the mother in law thinks the new wife is wonderful! :-)
Rescued a (supposedly) 10 year old Turkish Angora cat in May and, fortunately, was able to find him an EXCELLENT Forever Home in November. He wasn't hypoallergenic like Fichu (our half Turkish Angora) is but he has a really sweet personality and a huge purr. Our two girls WERE NOT letting him settle in so we were starting to have inappropriate barf and poop issues. His new family is very happy with him and, being the only child in his new home, there have been no "issues" of any kind so everyone is happy.
Twerp (our 2 year old female) had us chasing her around the house this week after biting off about a foot of Caron Watercolors from a tabletopper project that I had stupidly left next to my chair without folding it with the dangling thread inside. FORTUNATELY for all of us, she spit it out rather than trying to swallow it so we were spared a trip to the vet hospital! Sheesh! There can't be a loose thread anywhere in the house and I have to tie the handles on my needlework bags to keep her out of them. It's a small price to pay for the "therapy" of watching the two girls chase each other up and down the hall or check out the firewood stacked next to the stove or look out the window at the turkeys or just sit and be cute. :-) In between, I'm reading 'An Irish Country Wedding", the Molly Murphy mysteries from Rhys Bowen and just re-read 'Skeleton in the Closet' while waiting for the next Hamish MacBeth book to arrive at the library.
