Is anyone still out there?

It's hard to start writing again after such a long break. I have to say, I seriously thought about not posting anymore. I started this for a number of reasons, most of which no longer apply. I wrote for Angie ~ so she could see her son on a daily basis. I wrote for my family ~ many of whom don't really read it anyway... those that do, I talk to on a regular basis and they already know what's going on. I've received a few criticisms that I took very personally. All of which made me rethink my decision to write.

Then my darling husband reminded me of the reason I should continue. He said I should write for me ~ that it really didn't matter who read it or who didn't... who likes it and who doesn't... but because I like to write and that it's a great record of our life.

So I am back. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to hear from any of you that are still out there. It does help me to know that someone else is reading. I've made some wonderful friends out there through my blog and through theirs. I do have some relatives that still read this and for them I am grateful.

So, I'm back. So much has been going on ~ some of which I can share... some, I'm still not ready to... Good, bad, indifferent I'll write. I'll post pics. Hopefully I can make you smile at our antics or inspire you with some craft projects. Maybe even make you think ~ about life and the world around us... ya never know what I'll come up with. So sit back, enjoy the ride. Let me know you are out there. If you like me, great. If not, I'd still like to hear from you... just be gentle with me!

And because I don't like to post without pics... Here's a pic I snapped of a license plate the other day. Angie's mom rescues pugs ~ and this made me think of her. Judy, this one is for you!
