Hello! I have not seen you in so long. While you might not have missed the photos and ramblings, I feel that I owe you an explanation for my absence. 

The past several years have been hard for many of us. Covid, at times, has hit us hard, and while no one I personally know has lost their life to the virus, it has definitely shaped how we act. In the midst of the pandemic my husband and I became grandparents. Our grandson has been a blessing and a joy to be around. And when his sister arrived in May of 2022, things got real busy. The time that I spent researching photos and writing my blogs was now spent with them. 

I felt that was faced with letting these pages go or needing to do something with them. So I did. I looked to the videos I had made last with my yearly reviews and went from there. My goal is to be with you every week through the blogs AND my new adventure of a podcast. 

While I might be late reviewing these postings, I felt they deserved acknowledgment. So sit right back and enjoy this short (and I do mean SHORT) video, looking back on the postings from 2021 and 2022.
