Slowest....blogger....ever....

When I began this blog - it was meant to be something of a diary.  A journal of my family and the cool "goings on."  But today...a few years since my last post...I realize that that will never happen.  But you know, that's okay.  It's still fun to look back at where my brain was at a few particular points in time.  Since my last post - many things have happened.  Families grow, interests change, history shapes itself.

My beloved kitties - Spencer and Molly - have been replaced with a wild, ferel kitty named Hazel.  She is really Sophie's cat.  But Hazel follows me around, bites me, scratches me, begs to go out, pleads to come in.  She is loaded with personality, and now that she is a full grown kitty.... she thinks she runs the house.

Dewey dog is now 14 years old.  He is quite an old man.  His teeth and hips are bad, but he gets around pretty fine.  I think he is going to live forever.

My darling Sophie the Pooh - at 15 - is nearly grown.  She hit her head on the cement floor while in the 6th grade, and has had quite a struggle ever since.  But she is a strong one.  Fierce.  Tough.
She is going to be okay.  Her life is altered, but it's a shift in the path.  That's all.

My little man Isaac is no longer my little man.  He now stands 2" taller than I, and growing steadily.
I can't believe he will be ready for high school here in a few months.  He is kind and giving.
He is slowly learning that having autism is a gift of sorts.  His path was shifted from toddlerhood.
But I think he is maturing into it.  He has discovered that there are some perks to being different!!

Two of my grown sons are married.  Whoa.  And of all things - on Christmas day, 2014 -
I became a grandmother- of the most adoreable baby boy twins!   What can be better than that?

My job has changed - a few times.  But I am now in a place where I really, really enjoy my
work.  I will be happy to stay here for a few years - and then we shall see.  I would rather be
retired and playing with some cute twins that I know.

So, at the rate that I go - I will probably be back here when those twins are in kindergarten.

Happy Pi Day, peeps.  3.1415  Yeppers.  Cool.
