Back from a blog break.....

 We'll I'm back from my "not on purpose" blog break.  I don't know where the time is going.  What is this?  I retire and I feel like I'm busier (or maybe it's lazier) than ever before.  I just can't seem to find enough time.  I'VE GOT TO GET MYSELF ORGANIZED.

Suggestions anyone......

I have been gone quite a bit this summer and will be going on another fun trip soon.

In the meantime I'm gonna try to get it together......  organize, create, visit, practice photography, exercise and swim, spend more time with my kids and grandkid, cook, read and blog.

                           
                        Today I'm remembering to be greatful for:


                                         713.  a week at the beach with my best friend
                 thank you Mack for planning it and inviting and hosting Taylor, Mike and I
                                                       we had a great time.
