Sheesh!

Okay, so... my blogging has gone by the wayside. I keep telling myself that I should just blog about the daily & little stuff, but then big things happen and celebrations and so on, and (these days) it takes me so long to get around to even looking at the pictures, that by the time blogging about it all (or any of it) is possible, the thing(s) is (are) already old news...

Anyway! Alot's been happening. And since I don't have any idea where I could begin to begin, I will do so with a picture and a few words for somebody very dear to me:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRAMMA! I can't wait to see you next, hopefully at Xmas time. It's been more than two years, and that is far-far-far too long...

FYI: this picture was taken a bit more than 22 years ago - though I remember taking it, and it seems like it was done so "only yesterday," as we say... My Gramma was almost exactly the same age that my mom is today; and my mom was exactly the same age as I am today... Whoa. Gramma & Great-Gramma were down around (maybe for?) Anne's birthday, as you can tell from the hanging, woven hearts above their heads, which we put up every year in February. Dad was beginning his career as a bookbinder. David (not shown, here) and I were teenagers. The Little Girls were still little. And now, we three girls are all grown up and bringing up families of our own! The more I think about it, the more my head spins...
