It’s been such a lonnng tiiime (you have to say it like Boston sings it)

 

Well, well, well…she’s back at the blog.  Maybe.  It feels weird and I don’t even know how to get started again but I want to.  This is so crazy since it used to be a huge chore to even post a paragraph, let alone pictures, with country internet and I stuck with it then.  Now we have the speediest internet anytime around the clock and my camera is in my phone which is pretty much always near me and all I have to do is tap my finger on a total of two squares and there’s a post with a picture right there published for the world to see easy as that.  Which would lead you to think I would blog more, but.

Honestly, I think it was that life in general was getting too… whatever… and I really had no energy or want to share how rough that time was.  But now I am optimistic the worst is behind us and this will be a great year and I need to enjoy and acknowledge what each day brings even if it is just a regular nothing-special day.  When I look back to old posts I am really glad I included whatever nonsense I did that was happening at that time.  It’s fun to remember fun things, but also good to remember the good and just average things. 

And can I also blame the situation of photo storage?  I have to admit it, I am lost now when I sit at the pc.  Pictures used to be under my control.  I plugged in a cord to the computer directly from my camera and made a folder for whatever month it was, called it Oct, and that was further organized by the year and that’s where my pictures went.  I knew exactly where they were. 

Now showing up, there’s places called:

• Pictures
• My pictures
• iPhone photos
• iPod photo cache
• iCloud photos
• iPhone keepers
• Photo database
• Apple photo
• Photo stream

So, yeah.  It’s crazy.   But my goal for today is to grab a few of the past pictures from wherever that were worthy in 2013 and didn’t get blogged and then I’ll be done for today.  And hopefully encouraged to do a little more tomorrow. 

Don’t recall the occasions but Jack is happy in camo and apparently let me take his picture two different times~ bet at least once was squirrel or coon hunting

Kids’ rooms at Rosewood, just for the memories 

A sunrise at Rosewood, to remind ourselves it wasn’t all bad

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although much of it was…

 

But lots of good times with the kids here and there

        

Said goodbye to an old eggplant friend and made a new green one

 

Moved into the house of our dreams, finally! 

Witnessed the world’s largest fake potato coming through our own little town

 

Had some fun in St Louis with the Cards and experiencing the fattest bacon sandwich I could ever imagine and this was just half of it, at Crown Candy Kitchen.  Can you even believe that?!

 

I think I’ll end this on a good note right there. 

See ya tomorrow!
