Have Mercy...6 years...has it really been THAT long???

Why YES it has...

Anybody still out there? 

Has blogging gone the way of the dodo bird?

It took me several attempts to even find the login for this old blog, but fortunately I was able to dust off the old passwords and usernames....so here goes nothing.

Much has changed...but I think collectively change is the new normal.

My children are all grown and we are counting down the days until retirement. Lake lots have been purchased and the beginnings of a "future plan" is in place for where we will spend our golden years...LOL! Is that even a thing anymore?

My children are now parents themselves, which seems a bit odd. But watching them as they parent is a mixed bag of blessings and challenges. As I compose this I am watching my daughter learn how to be a mom to my granddaughter who is seven days old! 

I went back to work part time, which was a good thing, but quickly turned into more that I anticipated...so I made a change and now I am much happier working at a small church part time as the Ministry Assistant.

I pick up my brushes during the lock down and have started to paint and draw again. 

I am not sure why I felt drawn to start this up again. Maybe just the need to see if anyone was still out there...soooo.....hello! 


Is anyone out there! 


I'm not sure of much these days, covid-19 has taken a LOT from us. It has changed the way things are done, changed they way we interact with one another, changed the way we live our daily lives. 

I'm kinda over it....in a BIG way!

I don't have a plan or purpose for this restart just yet...but I am hopeful that it will evolve/develop/blossom over time...so for now I want to wish everyone a happy day after Thanksgiving.


I will close for today with my life verse:

'“Be still, and know that I am God!


Let me know if you're still out there!

Blessings

Nothing an evening cocktail can't fix...

 I am trying to come up with a basic set of question to facilitate a daily post. So maybe the first question should be: 1. What was/is the highlight of your day or week? This week I went to a funeral of one of the saints of our church.  A sweet, sweet woman who was dearly love by so many. As I sat and listened to the testimony of the woman's life I felt truly blessed that I had the privilege of knowing her.  It was a blessing to know that she is no longer suffering. The next question should be; 2. What should I or could I have done differently today or this week? This falls under the category of a good thing and bad ting.  The new season of Lost in Space comes out this week. I LOVED that show when I was growing up!!! Sadly, I have totally forgot what happen last season so  am having to rewatch several of the previous episodes so I can catch up. This happens quite frequently.  Also, Diana Gabaldon has just published the next instalment to her Outlander series.  I have to (again) re-

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all!   Later that e
