I wonder of Alice's DH had something terrible happen to him? And she's been ill a lot these last few months, as has her husband. And they've both been under a lot of financial pressure for a while. And that humongous house of theirs is a disaster to keep up and I imagine they're struggling to pay for both places. Plus she had to rehome some of her beloved dogs.And move to a crowded...for her... community when she's been so used to almost complete isolation.
Please, everybody, give her a break.
There's a lot of folks who just stop coming here, as is their right, they don't owe any of us an explanation.And we don't really know for sure if she's mad at us, i'm thinking she just moved on with her life into other things, as is her right. If and when I stop coming here, I won't feel that I need to explain my reasons to anyone, and neither does she.
