I am not dead!

Life has gotten busy in the last few years. The kids have grown up as you can see in the photo below.  My daughter is a sophomore in college and the president of her sorority (as a FRESHMAN) and my son is a junior in high school and is now 6'2" tall and can rest his head on top of my head and I'm 5'10" (although I might be shrinking)!



I have kept this blog up as my children's Dad died some years ago and I have yet to figure out how to commemorate all the family posts (before I got divorced) for them and their memories!  If anyone knows of a way to print the blog to a photo book, feel free to share in the comments.

In other news, I hiked 3 miles down into the Grand Canyon via Bright Angel Trail in early October starting my 50th birthday extravaganza for the next few months until it arrives in Dec. We would have gone further down but the tropical storms were rolling in and we got back out with only minimal rain the 20 minutes before it started pouring!


AND I got engaged to this wonderful man, Bob, in September.  He's a post for another day but I can say after 11 years of being single since my divorce and 8 years since my children's Dad passed away and I found myself to be an ONLY parent, I am really quite surprised and happy.
I will try and do better in future with my posting.

I do knit from time to time but it isn't such a compulsion as it was during very stressful times of life!
