Still Here...

Hey folks!  I apologize for not posting for so long; my computer's in the shop...and all the photos from the last few months are with it!  But although I have all but deserted the blogosphere, leaving it terribly abandoned and forlorn, the here-osphere (ie. the physical, present-day, here) has been anything but the definition of quiet, which in my own terms and self-defining thesaurus would be described as calm, peaceful, serene, tranquil, halcyon, imperturbable and ultimately, equanimous....ahem...let's just stick with quiet.

Please bear with me, my dear readers, near and far alike, as I wait for the return of my repaired PC holding within it those precious memories I'd like to share with you all.

In lieu of those photos which are unavailable to me, please enjoy these more recent ones which are...




We celebrated a momentous birthday for a special girl back on November 10th

Grandma "D's" eldest son, Mike came for a visit

A lovely day for a trip to the zoo

What could be better than s'mores on a cool evening?

We've had visits from sweet friends and family -- good to see you, Tommy & Ginger!

Bella Bean has been practicing self-control via "blanket training" :)

A secret just between the---um, all of us: we made gingerbread and sugar cookies a couple weeks before our *real* Christmas baking day...and ate them all the next day...shhh! it's a secret!

Grandma Lorry has prepared for us her Italian Spaghetti and Meatballs (yes, with curlers in her hair)

A little mother-in-training has wandered the home seeking patients to practice on

Our Grandparents have visited

Grandma June has hired the brains of a sleuth (or should it be sloth?) to help with her word search

We had another wonderful afternoon with Mrs. Kathi!

Surprise visits from good friends are wonderful indeed!  Thanks for dropping in, Don & Victoria!

Ride on, cowgirl!

Well, that's it for now!  Christmas and New Year's posts will be coming up, but until then enjoy visiting last year's posts here and here.

Hope you're all enjoying the last day of 2010!
