Happy St. Patty's Week to all!!!

I was browsing through my small stash of Ellen Clappsaddle postcards and came upon this little beauty to share...I know I am past the day, but wanted to just pause on this little beauty of nostalgia.
I'm sorry I have not been more available to blog...what can I say, my life these past few months have been so different. The experiences that I have had to go through are some in life I never wanted to. Didn't know grieving could be so complicated and with so much family drama. Then if that wasn't enough, my dear husband had a spell in the hospital with an inflammed pancreas. Sooo...I have been in "survival" mode mentally and physically. He is getting better and so far it is treatable, thank God. I found solace in all of your experiences in your blogs and really yearn for organization in my life. Hope I'm not sounding like a "downer", contrary, I am trying to stay uplifted and know that brighter skies are on the horizon. Thank you all for your prayers and support..Love each one and hope to share better, uplifting things with you soon. Really enjoy your comments and friendship. They keep me going.

~~Happy February!!!~~

I love this most dreamy, romantic, happy time of year!!

I have missed you!!! Like most of you, I get side tracked and started on other things...mostly family these days. My beloved and I just returned from a trip to visit and celebrate my Great Auntie's Birthday in New Mexico.

She turned 100!!! Not the best time to travel, but we couldn't disappoint her.

Have enjoyed many of your blog postings during the absence of mine. You all inspire me so much. The end of the year and beginning of a new year has been very busy...I am thankful for what God always provides for me, but I have to admit I was ready to let go of 2009 and promptly move into a new year and decade...Happy 2010!! Health, happiness and tidyness (lol) in this New Year!!

Love to all...what a blessing to know all of you. You bless me daily!

Well, I have been away much to long...I have been working on some things that I will share with you~~real soon!!

Found a few sweet treasures and visited the most charming little town recently...will share soon, once I get pictures uploaded and organized.

I've missed you.....

Happy "June" to all of you!!

Just a note to my lovely "blog" friends know that I haven't forgot any of you. I think of you often, but have been a little preoccupied. My mother passed away on May 22, 2009 and sadly I had to take care of all her details. I was quite worn down...but I am perking back up and moving forward with God's help. He has been such a support for me. I find myself thinking inwardly that I can't possibly have all this strength. He is so carrying me at this time.

These lovely flowers were for my dear sweet mother. Hope to enjoy the continuing saga of my home renovations and sharing with all of you.

Love to all and have missed you.
