So, Where Have I Been???

A While ago my Son in law said to me "You haven't written in your blog for a long time, how come?"  I've thought about that for sometime and I guess my answer is that "Life Just Took Over."

So what has Life been like that has taken my time?

When I really look at it, it really hasn't been that much.  Yes I have a husband, a home and children and I'm busy with my interest but the fact of the mater is, I sometimes really do much of nothing.

Being retired gives me freedom to schedule and plan my days.  My children are all on their own with their own homes and families.  My husband is busy with the outside garden and yard work and I mainly take care of the home.  I have my interest and projects, but sometimes it just feels good to do something that is spur of the moment and unexpected.

We have taken some more cruises and have some more in the planning.  We have gone to Arizona a couple of times to help our daughter and her husband with their project of fixing up and remodeling their new home, which they hope to move into this summer.  We are planning another trip down there at the end of this month, to again give them a extra hand.  I try to keep in contact with my children, grandchildren, extended family and friends with the little extras that go along with being Mama, Grandma and friend.. I go to Church and attend the Temple each week,  belong to DUP and take the minutes, I go to my TOPS meeting and take care of the weight records.  I pay my bills, run the errands and make the phone calls.  I sew, knit, crochet and do counted cross stitch, which I always have some sort of project going.

So why haven't I written in this Blog of mine?

When I first started this project of writing, I thought it would be good to express my thoughts and feelings.  I use to write in a journal but that also went by the waste side, but a Blog I thought, would be something that maybe my children and grandchildren might read and learn somethings about their mother or grandmother that they never knew, after all, I am a person and because of me, they are here.....

Oh, Where have I been?  Not very far, just in the other room, but I'm putting you on my to do list, so I am back....
