Last year was a difficult one for me health wise and it appears that this year is not going to be much different.  Accordingly, I have decided to pack it in, at least for the short term as I'm having to many problems trying to stay up with items that need to be attended to around the house and being able to fill orders as well.  This will allow me to work on the orders received prior to April 18, 2012. I very much appreciate the understanding that my clients have shown, as I try to work through these personal health issues.  Despite the kind words and support, I just can't stay up with the number of orders that are pending and new one as well.

Once I get through some of the ongoing health issues, I'll try to keep building perhaps 4 or 5 of these each month.  I had eye surgery in early May to remove a cyst from the corner of my left eye.  Shortly, I'll go back to see if we got it all or if I need to go through that experience once again.  Once I heal up I can get back to trying to building a few.  The real advantage of being a hobby is that I don't have to have a profit motive so I can afford to build one at a time.  I'm in this to stay busy in retirement, so please bear with me, unfortunately 70 is now closer than 60 and i've really had to slow down just a bit.
