a return of sorts

 What a smorgasbord of things are on my mind this January day when the cold of winter doth blow and we are bundling up once again with woolies.

 It is not as if I have been around much lately, but as you my blogger friends know we do tend to create posts either in our busy minds or drafted to the computer though certain posts will never see the open page or be read by anyone.

I truly am not that complicated nor is my life one that others would entitle exceptional, but as Thoreau once said,

  • “It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” 
  • The truth of the matter, my particular busy was people,  wonderful people visiting, people celebrating and then when the holidays arrived people coming and going. And with all the people came cooking, washing up, decorating, visiting, sitting around the table, worshipping. A beautiful and wonderful life to live.
  •                                    But blogging...nil.
  • But that does not mean I didn't miss creating posts or that I did not miss all of you.       
  • Enough said about that.

  •  
    Claire baked this most beautiful and delicious German Chocolate cake for me back in December for my birthday. She could open a bakery and sell cakes if she wasn't doing the most worthy thing in the world, providing a home for her family and raising my grandchildren full-time.

I worked on this post on and off for awhile thinking I would do one large catch-up post. Not the best idea I ever had, so here it is just as it was written earlier in time and I hope to be posting more regularly soon, that is my plan anyway.
