Well, then!

I am hugely embarrassed that my last post was some eight months ago. Where has the time gone? What was I doing all those days and weeks and months? Imagine the conversation:
Where have you been?
Uh, here.
Why have you not written? Why have you not called? Why have you not updated this blog?
Uh, I was busy.
Doing what?
Stuff.
Stuff? STUFF??? What do you mean, STUFF???
Conversations with myself are just like conversations with a surly, sullen twelve-year-old. And when the conversation becomes confrontational, as it inevitably does, I always come out on the losing end.
It appears that the weeks flew by all on their own. Before I knew it, 2015 was here. Here, as in IT’S APRIL of 2015, fer cryin’ out loud.
I could go into great lengths to account for my absence but I think it would be more fun, for all 3.2 of you who might still be interested, if I say less and show more. “More” as in pictures. Maybe even videos, if I can figure out how to do that. (Yay! My personal IT guy—Son #1—has fixed that little problem for me. Muwahh!) So now, no excuses! Get the job done, woman!
My apologies to those who haven’t given up on me. I’ll try to do better. Promise. In the meantime, let’s begin where we left off, way back there in two thousand fourteen…
These last few months have been good. Life has treated us kindly, with much laughter and celebration. As I peruse the library of photos, most of which were taken by someone other than myself, what stands out are the smiles. Lots and lots of smiles. Details are less important. The smiles tell the greater part of these stories, so that’s where we shall begin.
Smiles
Though their time together is limited, the three young cousins make the most of any opportunity to kibbitz. And come summer, a fourth cousin will enter the fray.

For those who may wonder how I’m doing with my art, I will say that I do spend time in my studio—creating memories if not actual paintings.
Studio
Yay! You made it to the end! Exhausted? It would appear that this little guy may well understand just how you feel.
Thus the blog continues, even after this very lengthy, rather delinquent pause. It’s nice to be back. Thanks for stopping by. More soon!
I could not and would not ever give up on you! A most beautiful family, the most joyful smiles, the most awesome memories created and you share them with so much adoration. I cherish the gift that is you, woven into the fabric of my life. There’s nobody like you C! And I love you with all of my heart!
Well then…….. you are excused, the pictures were well worth it ! Fabulous pictures for another chapter in your life.You are one unique person and I am so glad to know you <3
The photos are great and the smile so infectious that I’m smiling along like I am part of your family! Thanks for sharing your happiness Cindy!
