I am returned from my (thankfully brief!) exile from all of you, my dear friends!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Here's a photo I took in Germany several years ago. I hope you enjoy. I am so glad to be among all of you once again!

[LoisB]

1. That is beautiful and I am so glad you are back.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thank you so much, my dear LoisB!

I am VERY relieved to be back! Your warm words help me. And I'm glad you enjoyed my photo.

[Deuxcents]

2. I hope you are alright..did you catch a bug or just not feeling well? Glad you're back with a lovely photo

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. I am fine, my dear Deuxcents! No illness here. I was scammed and my bank account hacked!

All has been fixed and now I am among you again. And I'm glad you like my photo!

[Deuxcents]

9. Good grief..maybe I'll change my passwords and take your experience as an example. Glad you're ok

3. Welcome back! As a victim of hacking crime before myself, I can appreciate what you've gone through....

I hope all is well now. (beautiful photo)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Thank you so much, my dear hlthe2b!

It was not fun, and what made it worse, I hadn't realized I was being scammed. Of course, eventually, I did realize what was actually going on, and the brakes were applied. All is well now.

Glad you like the photo!

4. Is that a squash blossom, Peggy?

Delicious . 😋

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. It is indeed a squash blossom, my dear FalloutShelter!

It was growing in the backyard of our hosts. I thought it was so lovely that I had to photograph it!

[Diamond_Dog]

10. I'm so glad everything was corrected so fast!

That happened to my son a couple years ago. It’s a scary feeling. And my son is an IT Tech, so it can happen to anyone!

Lovely squash blosssom!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I was truly surprised at how quickly things came together and I was able to return. Got the computer scanned today and they found malicious files that are now gone. And the bank cleared my re-entry to my accounts in a half hour meeting! So here we are and I couldn't be happier.

My best to your son!

Glad you like my photo!

11. Mamma mia! Go back there and get those blossoms and fry them up!

quanto é saporite 😋

Just chase the bees out of the flowers first!

Or wait until they flower in your garden.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Ah, thank you so much, my dear usonian!

My adventurous days in the kitchen are over! I might try them if I see them on a menu, though.

[surfered]

12. Glad you're back. You and your flowers have been missed

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you for your very kind words, my dear surfered!

There will almost certainly be flower photos next Tuesday. And I did get to the Manhattan Beach Farmer's Market this last Tuesday.

It is very good to be missed!

And much sweeter to have returned!

[surfered]

18. I am an ignorant gardener, but love blooming things.

[wendyb-NC]

13. Yay!

Glad you're back. Thank you for all the unbelievable photos you share with us. That squash blossom is exquisite. It's like a celebration.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Thanks so much, my dear wendyb-NC!

I am so relieved to be here with you today.

And I am very happy to be able to provide you with wonderful photos!

I think that the fact that you see my squash blossom as a celebration is spot on!

[gademocrat7]

19. Welcome back, Peggy.

Glad you got things sorted. Take care.🤗

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thank you so much, my dear gademocrat7!

You bet things got sorted! Including my brain.

Now I know a whole lot more about scams. MUCH.

[MIButterfly]

So glad you're back. Hope everything worked out well for you and that you'll be around for a long, long time!
