Well, it has been a long time since I have blogged. It be came even longer when I could not remember my log in. Since I was last on, I have become a true empty nester. My husband passed away July 2009 after a long battle with cancer. We then lost one of two cats 6 months later secondary to kidney failure from diabetes. My son was encouraged to move out in May for many reasons. Most recently my daughter went away to college in Pennsylvania. It has been a very long and stressful year and a half but I am going to try and get myself back on a track of my choosing. I have been spending more time stamping, exercising and keeping the house and yard in order. After losing my husband I took my frustration out by doing yard work almost every evening after work, which meant that I was able to put in a vegetable garden again this year. I have been enjoying the tomatoes, eggplant, beans, snow peas, and lettuce.

I will try and post some art work this weekend.
