LIFE ....


We lost both of these dear souls this year.  
Uncle Carl went on to Glory in the spring and Aunt Jennie joined him a month ago.  
They are so very missed.   Thanksgiving will never be the same.  Never. 


 This little munchkin man joined our family August 31st!   
AJ, our first grand baby BOY!!


 Lilly (AJ's sister) and her Ollie (their adopted kitty).
Yeah, Lindsay has two under 18 months!


 Harper Leigh just turned 4!!   She is our F5!!   
Hide the toothpaste and the Sharpies!


 Keller Bug is seven!!!   
Our first grand baby is growing up way to fast!!!


And, of course, thirteen great grand puppies joined the bunch!!!!


It's been a whirlwind of a year!  
Wouldn't change a thing!  

We've been on a de-cluttering journey this year!
We're looking for some rural land to settle into!
I'm taking a two-year  medicinal herb/herbal medicine course!
We're checking off the maintenance list so we can put the house on the market!
Trying to get myself back into the studio!
Lots of work at the hunting camp!
Lots of work on the island keeping the rentals up.
Blogging .. not so much!   But, hey!  
I don't do this in an effort to score a TV show ... only as a diary of sorts!
