I must apologize profusely....it has been such a very long while since I have posted anything new. Between taking care of my father and continuing projects I am afraid I have fallen greatly behind in many areas and so therefore my blogging has been neglected. I believe my last blog that I posted heralded the arrival of our newest family member, my great niece Chloe Lynn, who arrived on February 2, 2011. What a little bundle of joy she is. It has been so much fun watching her grow and change every month. We almost come to blows at every family gathering, fighting over who get's to hold her next (totally kidding here!!!) Mommy and Daddy are very gracious in allowing one and all to hold her and inhale those wonderful rosey cheeks that are just begging for attention. She is discovering the world beyond her nose as she coos and giggles and laughs and tells us baby stories. What a precious miracle!
I believe spring has finally arrived in our little corner of the world, although it seems to be doing so begrudgingly as by this time normally there is a lovely profusion of greenery and colors bursting forth and we are just beginning to see these living things poking out of the earth here and there. It has been a very damp and chilly spring so I am definitely looking forward to some warm sunny days so I hope that I will not be disappointed.
It is at this time that I feel like clearing out...simplifying...paring down... and as the weather warms I will be spending time in the garage sorting and preparing for a HUGE sale. There is something to be said in doing this...a feeling of freedom from "stuff" so along with a garage sale I will be spending some time learning how to utilize Ebay as I am definitely challenged in this area. I am always happy to receive any helpful information.
I will also be posting a few things that I have been working on and am hoping to do a watercolor painting in the near future if time permits. I usually have lofty aspirations, but because of the demands on my time...that is usually what they remain...lofty aspirations, but it is fun to dream. Until next time...faithfully yours and God bless each and every one of you.
