Hello One and All--

Yes I did drop off the face of the earth but I found my way back home.
Life seems to have become too overwhelming for me and I just could not keep up with everything.
Unfortunately my journals suffered. But I will say that I have missed you all terribly.

I have been working on some crafts projects to keep my head busy and so that I do not completely lose my mind. It has been fun....I have joined a new addiction that seems to have hit the internet called ATC (Artist Trading Cards) They are small pieces of art on 2.5x3.5 sized cards that are done in a collage style based on a theme.It really is alot of fun because you do not have to be an artist or even very good at crafts...if you can glue and stick things on a lil card then you are more then qualified to be apart of it. As soon as I get myself together I will show you all some of my cards...you will have to let me know what you think. If you would like more information about these lil wonders Click On This Link:ATC CARDS

Anyway...family is good....my parents are slowly but surely adjusting to life down south....I miss them tremendously.
One of my sons (the one that moved down south) has moved back into our area...he got a job around the corner from us...I think he missed all his friends and even coming home once in a while for food. LOL
The daughter is good...trying to get through school...some subjects are really killing her but she is trying.
My son who moved up to tennessee is doing grand...I think by the end of this year he will be in the army...he has thought long and hard about it...I can only support whatever it is he decides to do...

Everything else is just too involved to really type out here and I do not want to bore you all...so I will end my lil ramblings here...I hope you all have a GREAT week...Be good to yourselves!!!
PEACE!!
