I find that as I get older I'm not as organized as I used to be. Or, maybe it is that I just procrastinate too much. Anyway, I've lost an important email address, and it's really frustrating me. Have you ever done that?


I was supposed to email a potential client pictures of some of my jewelry creations. Yes, I make jewelry. It's way fun. Here is a pic for your viewing pleasure:

P.S. Pardon the fuzziness. My camera is not equipped with a macro lens. One of these days, maybe...

What is it they say about the best laid plans? Well, my plans to post, oh, 4 months ago (!), definitely went awry. And, why is it, when you have newsworthy posts, you don't have time to post? It's only when life slows down to its normal, non-noteworthy pace that I actually have time to "catch-up." Let's see if I can run through that past 4 months in a nutshell:

October: I turned 40 and cut my hair. Short. (I donated it.)
November: My nephew Max (age 17) became seriously ill with pancreatitis. He was in the hospital for most of the month.
December: Max went to the Mayo Clinic to find out a definitive diagnosis and cause. He has a genetic condition and so will battle this the rest of his life. Praise God that he was able to spend Christmas with us.
January: The Rev. David Lauten began as Associate Pastor of Congregational Care and Nurture. It's been great. But that also means that January didn't slow down. David (my hubbie)also started his Pastoral Internship at church. The very Sunday he assisted with Evening Worship he also preached in Summerville in the morning. We were both zonked. The day before I had helped my best friend and her siblings at a 50th anniversary party for her folks.

We're now up to February. What's in store? I don't know. Except that we will probably have 2 nephews at the end of this week/beginning of next.

Okay, that's it. As busy as I have been, it seems like it should be more. But we're awfully busy just with the day to day stuff. Oh, I did set up a link to my pics. Should you so desire to look, here they are:
