Well, kids, it's been far too long since my last real entry here.  Life has just become so busy and complex, it's been really difficult to find time and keep things up to date.  For those that I've had the pleasure to meet and appreciate through this medium, let me assure you that I still think about you often.  Maybe one of these days I'll invent a direct cyberlink and be able to blog directly from  my brain.  lol  OMG, that's a scarey thought.

 

I've got several things on my agenda I hope to write about here soon.  I have a new housemate and another o the way.   They've brought with them a whole new circle of friends, acquaintances and stories.  My son recently remarried and has a new, prebuilt family (hope this one lasts longer than the last!).  My daughter is expecting again.  This will be my 4th grandson.  Egad, I feel old!  Lost Boy and Erik have moved around a bit, but they're still close to me.  I still work for the Army, although in a different capacity.  Mom just turned 75 a couple weeks ago.  We had a big party! 

 

I finally took the plunge and bought a serious digital camera.  Oh, oh, and I've got a lot more pics to post!  You'll see them soon--time permitting. 

 

OK, so now I've gotta run and get the day started.  Make some green tea, get cleaned up and face the world again!  I hope you all are having a great weekend!
