Hi neighbors,

Sorry for the extended break in Pearl news, but sometimes a girl needs a little time to (and for) herself. :-) There has been a lot going on in the neighborhood over the past month and I will begin posting regularly again to get you up to speed.

And, then, someone else named it menopause - and maybe it's a good thing that men will pause in the presence of men-o-pause, because for many women, the symptoms of this change of life quite frankly... suck.

But when did things get so damned complicated ?
