 * From looking at the page source it seems comments are closed.
 * Log into your WP Dashboard and go to Settings–>Discussion. Make sure that “Allow
   people to post comments on new articles” is checked. Also make sure that “Automatically
   close comments on articles older then X days” is not checked.
 * See if that helps?

 * Also – did comments ever show up or is this is a new issue?

 * Allow people to comment is checked
    and close comments was set to 60 days, but
   is now unchecked
 * It is new, I can see where some comment were posted a few years ago. But I’m 
   not sure how long ago it changed.

 * Okay I was putzing around and there is a check box, for each individual post 
   that is/was unchecked. It does not toggle existing posts when you change the 
   settings>discussion box. New posts seem to be checked automatically.
 * So now all I need to do go back to my recent posts and check this box.
 * Thank you for your help:)
