Method

    Lucy,
    I just went through my saved articles and here I am viewing
    your Pumpkin soup, as it’s a ‘fall thing’ for us! I love anything pumpkin, squash and root veggies especially when the season changes, and becomes cooler.

    I go to visit my favorite pictures and see they are Gone!?
    This was unexpected and I was baffled, I imagine you had your reasons for removing them. I will miss them and your input, you were our bright spot on Triond and if you have a link to another site if you moved your things I would love to know. If not, we wish all the Good luck you richly deserve.

    I have not removed anything, I don’t know what they are doing to my things. I think it may have something to do with making room for new writers!
