Blogging Again...

Wow, has it been 3 years since my last post?! Honestly, it's been rough going (and this is quite the understatement) since I last posted. I simply haven't had the inclination or the energy. I want to continue now as I do recall how it gave me some sense of accomplishment and happiness.

I now have 3 grandchildren and, along with my own children, they're the loves of my life. Of course, my husband is a given there. :)

Here's a puzzle I completed not too long ago:

I used to do so many jigsaw puzzles, but lately, I've been in quite the slump. I've still got quite a few waiting for me once I can get back into the 'jigsaw swing'.

Here is my grandson on his 2nd birthday this year:

I wish they lived closer to me. But their daddy is in the military, so no such luck. My granddaughter is getting to be a big girl too:

Our new grandson was born in April this year. His name is Christian:

Here he is with big brother, Caleb.

My daughter, Lord willing, will be graduating from high school in 2015. She has a part-time job now and I'm so proud of her. Here she is with one of her nieces. They found a turtle while we out for a walk one sunny day.

Well, it's the middle of the night. I'm tired, but can't seem to sleep. Worry has led to an insomnia-laden life. My doctor has prescribed multiple sleeping pills. Some work and others don't. I've built up such a tolerance, it's hard to find one the works. Of course, they're controlled substances, so the doctor is unwilling to keep me on them for too long. So the sleepless cycle goes on. I'm sure, over time, all will settle down and that much-needed sleep will return.

A random parting message for now:
