Me, too, Monette, signing in for Nov. and December both.  I thought I already had signed for November.  Sorry about that.....

 

Things are hectic, as always, come Autumn, and the holidays.  Grandsons are requiring a LOT of school conferences and medical appointments and such at this time of year, as always.  I'm taking Elizabeth to therapy (OT, PT, and Speech) as a follow up on her rehab hospitalization in August.  Just always in motion, even as I long for rest....quiet....peace....serenity....time.  lol 

 

I think I told you already, but not sure, that I am a great-grandma now.  A little girl named Mercy.  Guess the kids will carry on the family tradition, since I had a Hope and a Joy, huh? 

 

Cheer up about the closing of the board, Monette.  The old will pass away and make NEW opportunities.....Around May or June, Tripod erased my entire website, then said "OOOPS, we made a mistake"  They never did restore it like they said they would, and I didn't have all that stuff backed up.  I first started moaning about my  years of continuing a "work in progress"  on that site, then made myself get a new perspective on it.  It is really an opportunity to start fresh....I had a lot of whining on there, and really needed to clean that up anyway, ya know?  It served it's purpose, probably saved my sanity (maybe) and life at the time I started it back in 2001.  Now, so much has transpired and we all have grown through all the years and I have so many different ways of looking at things than I did back then.  Getting too comfortable with status quo may not be what is in God's plan for us, ya know?
