Wow, it's been awhile

 I can't believe that it has been so long since I've written here!  It seems like life just flies by in a series of moments and I look up to find many pages have turned on my calendar. I want to spend more time with this blog this year (though I'm certain I've said that before).  It is a place where I can pretend I'm chatting with a grown up, although I'm surround by kiddies (and Rudy, the dog) all day long.  So, while I have very little to say right now, I am writing because I need to dip my toe in.  Hopefully, I'll be back soon for a good, fun, frolic.
  I'll leave you with an awesome picture of my stock. Do pardon the background mess.  :)
