Coming Back


Sometimes you can just get blindsided by Life and knocked right off the rails. Throw in some illnesses, deaths, injuries, obligations, and even house renovations and it's hard to stay on track. Getting back on track is another hurdle - I'm somewhat surprised that I could even remember how to access this blog! So this is a test run.



In spite of all the disasters we have pursued our house updating plans and seeing what we did in the last year in encouraging - new floors in main rooms upstairs and down, a new front door, a remodeled fireplace (from ugly big rough concrete brick to a plastered surface with glass tile inset and slate hearth) and freshly-painted walls. With my mother's death we gained acess to much more space in the house and so we moved Gary's den downstairs and at last I have a dining room! We have only just moved furniture into the living spaces the past couple of weeks - do not yet have many pictures on the walls or other decor in place, but it's liveable.

Well, If I have figured out how to post here again I hope to stay "regular" with some upbeat or interesting comments, notes, opinions, crotchets, announcements, observations, research, and mutterings on books, ephemera, life, the universe, and everything.
