Nice to hear from you. It was so nice to meet you, too, at Sacramento - owell, - we met at the Lace Museum!!

Actually going back to tatting now is good, it is nice to have something small to sit and do now and again.  Split rings, Mock rings, and Split chains were not invented when I originally learned, - and I have just been shown how to do split rings, - and they are so useful!!  Take up tatting again - for those quiet times of waiting around - like in Dr. waiting rooms - which we seem to do a lot recently!
