Yes, I'm still alive...

Eeeek! I can't believe it's been over six months since I posted a thought here! The shocking thing about this absence was my first thought: I'm six months older!

My baby sister Boz (not by blood, but by family ties - I'll introduce her one day soon) facebooked me a few days ago with the comment, "blog!" She was right, it had been too long.

Boz is the bald one on the right!

I had tried to make a commitment to at least a weekly posting, and for a while I was doing quite well, thank you.

Birthdays, Hallowe'en, a visit with our grandchildren in Sechelt, birthdays yet again, a passing, Christmas, another visit with the grandchildren, more birthdays and now it's the end of February and I've had to think hard about how to post a blog and upload images, never mind what the heck my password was! And in those six months, what have I done that's kept me so busy?

I still have those four pairs of pants to hem; I've been wearing summer pants all through winter (thank goodness it's been mild this year!). OK, yes... I've been baking a lot. About ten pounds worth. But I've found some great recipes!

I haven't sorted out the closets and drawers, Peter and I haven't painted the bathroom as we'd promised to do over the Christmas hols, I'm still procrastinating about address updates (we've been living here now for four years!), I've discovered a container in the back of the fridge which looked suspiciously furry but I'm sure it was tortellini (which I remember buying before Hallowe'en), oh, and those darned pants. They've collected six months' worth of dust, sitting in my "to fix" basket!

But hey... I'm back! We'll give it another go, shall we? And btw, my dear Boz... what about your blog?!
