June 17th.... I'm actually creeping up to nearly a year of no blog posts. Who would have ever thought!
I will say, my sweet friend Dana did a post on BeReal & she was blogging & I was like "WHAT DAT?" - & it tugged at me. I did this for so long & I pulled it up & just read my last post.... & of course, teared up. Man, we still miss Harvey Dent - & I cry over him on the regular. But I also look back & see SO MANY MEMORIES..... & this is making me miss blogging.
I will say - through this past year, I feel like the world has changed. I've changed too. If you dont change through a life time & grow & learn, & seek to find your voice in things you dont agree with - then what are you doing in life? Finding your own opinions, your limits, your strengths - that's not a bad thing at all. The things you learn about yourself as you "grow up" - that's a keyword for menopause by the way. Menopause definitely changes a person. Dont let anyone tell you anything different.
So... I'm venturing back into my old blog place... for my memories & my enjoyment & sharing the joys I have in my world, the frustrations I feel, the sadness & struggles. Life - its all life.
I welcome everyone to check in.... see how my life is - so I can see how yours is. I miss a lot of my blogging friends. Does anyone still blog anymore? LOL.... has it made its comeback yet? Because every good thing spins back around again. I think the craze of 80's grunge jeans is a testament to that! & I do hear "the bloggers" still on random Housewives shows so it HAS to still be a thing, right?
So let's do a quick little catch up....
* Ricky & I celebrated our 29th anniversary in October - so the triple decade is coming up. Granted, we've been together 33 years & just WOW. Where does time go. The Hubby is doing just fine. Still obsessed about his grass & making sure its looking good now that Spring has arrived. & of course, I still force him to go to musicals & listen to the repeat of WICKED playing in our home. He's a good sport.
* My twin nieces are now 20 years old... cough. Finding their place in the world. If you're needing a personal trainer in my area, be sure to check out Sophia - shes building up a good clientele
* My mom is still living in the same house & still has the two horses that me - (mainly Ricky)- & my brother share 'Custody' of. & yep, the horses are still doing good. Cochese is nearly 24 now - I think -I always forget... & Baby is now coming up on 8 years old on May 5th! She's still snuggly & sweet.
* The grands are still growing. One has a license now. Another has his permit. & I cant bear the thought of any of it. Julie's youngest will be starting middle school next year!
The twin grands in Florida will be starting 1st grade next year & are HOCKEY PLAYERS! You know their Pappy is so happy about that!
* The Nashville gang just moved into Julie's dream house & so proud of her! & the Florida gang also got settled in their new home awhile back ... & of course, our little Hippy girl in Minnesota is just living her life in her own happy way. Love her free spirit!
* I'm still a reading fool!!! So many good books this year so far. Cant wait to share my books with you again.
* Life is still boring ... but is that a bad thing? I think not.
* & the biggest thing right now... we have a new addition! We finally got a Red Aussie. I'll have to share his story in a post coming up. He's brought so much to our home & we're so thankful to have him. Our home really did feel so empty with just 2 dogs & having 3 big dogs playing in our living room where you cant move - ahhh - that feels nice. I still feel like I need one more small dog to make it complete - I do love having a small dog in my lap. We'll see where that leads.
So I'm going to ease back into this little corner of my world.... I really did enjoy doing the weekly check in - its doable to post & chalk up some memories & doings & buyings (is that a word?) & thoughts ... & if anything special or important - I may do an extra post a week - but we'll see about dipping this toe back into the blogging ocean & see if the waves carry me away!
Glad to be back home.
