Wow - 5 years really??

I just looked at the date of my last post, and I can not BELIEVE it has been almost 5 years since I last posted.  Wow.

Let me tell you - those 5 years have been DOOZIES.  Life got turned upside down backwards, twisted into knots, dumped out, fried........ and then, at long last, has slowly but surely begun to untangle itself.

I have so much catching up to do!  So much posting.  So tighten your seatbelts.  Post overload may soon be headed your direction!  :)

(and just for fun, here's a picture of my little new tree putting on some beautiful little spring blossoms)
