Allow me to apologize for my absence. Ten months have REALLY flown by.
I have been a bit frazzled at times, trying to figure out which way was up.
Things have finally settled down into some semblance of a groove.
What have I been doing for the last ten months? Well, let's see, I have been:
Those are some of the high points.
I also spent quite a bit of time figuring out what really and truly matters to me. It is an on-going process that honestly depends on what the "crisis" of my day may be.
I learned quite a bit from the Menagerie in My Backyard: six squirrels, two chipmunks, three bunnies, and an untold number of blue jays, cardinals, robins, and crows. And don't forget the 863,000,000 ants. While I don't believe these creatures pass down their family histories, I do believe they give insight into the way life should be lived.
The empty gap you experienced honestly wasn't. That's because it was created through a blue ton of events that occurred in my life. That gap was pretty full from this standpoint. It's all about priority created from perspective.
It's good to be back.

What have I been doing for the last ten months? Well, let's see, I have been:
- launching a new career to help fund this one
- taking care of my husband who had open-heart surgery in November to replace a valve replacement (YES, you read that correctly)
- battling fierce cold and a LOT of snow (ground clearance, four wheel drive, new tires and fervent prayer is my secret--not necessarily in that order)
- watching one graduate high school and settle into university
- watching another become a high school senior
- watching still another third grow what seems to be a foot in the last year
- wondering when/if it would stop raining
- NOT on vacation
- working on an assortment of genealogical projects, both paid and personal, every free moment I have
Those are some of the high points.
