I know, I have been MIA this week. I am just now getting the Christmas decorations packed away. A full week with the funeral of an old dear friend and a visit from my brother for a few days, sending Victoria back to school:>(, just a million things to do. I need to get back in the groove. I need all these chores to magically be done (Where are those Christmas elves when you need them!?) I will see you soon. Thanks for hanging in there with me. I had over 100 entries in my google reader this morning, I'm catching up on visits too! See you soon.

  1. Kathy,
    January is one of those months that seem to be the white space in between the music. I feel a bit stuck moving on when the snow is still on the ground and icy roads keep us in-doors so much. I am sorry to hear about your friend passing.

  3. What a lovely image. I always feel like January is kind of a let down after the excitement of Christmas in December, LOL! Sorry to hear about your loss.

  4. Hi Kathy,
    Sorry to hear about your friend passing away. It's always so hard, but especially so around the Christmas season.

    There's so much to do, it's amazing than anything gets done at all. LOL
    I started the New Year behind. Oh well, I have all year to catch up!

  5. Google reader! That explains a few things I didn't understand. Where have I been?
    I still have the daggone tree up ...I am too lazy to deal with it.

  9. Kathy-So sorry for your loss. At least you can keep busy which might help. Or simply make you want to crawl in bed!
    I won't take up your time. Have a good rest of the week :-)

  11. That's the way things go sometimes. Take some deep breaths. The chores will get done when they get done.

    Oh, if you find those elves, send them over to my house when they're done at yours :-)

  13. I am sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.

    It does take awhile to get back in the swing of things. If Santa would rent his elves out after Christmas, he could probably make enough money to buy all the materials he will need for next year's toys:-)

    BTW. I have been meaning to write you and tell you good luck with your new flock this Spring. I raise Buffs and Dominiques. They lay an abundance of beautiful large brown eggs. You are right, nothing beats eggs fresh from your own hen house.

  17. My sympathies to you and yours! Sorry to hear of the passing of a friend. I'll be praying for you today.

    And hey, I wanted you to know that YOU saved my blog. I mean, really. After the past few weeks, I'm suffering from major blog-burnout o'rama. Today at lunch I decided to back it up to a hard drive and then delete it. All of it. And then your comment popped up and I thought, "Wow. Someone truly gets it!". So I decided to give it another week.

    Thanks for being an encouragement at just the right time! :)

    My best,
    Brin

  19. So sorry about your friend Kathleen. I had to take a tiny break also. I was just exhausted !

  20. Sometimes we all need a break and I being new to bloggy world hope that if someone takes a break that her readers stick with it and wait for her to come back, kind of like a faithful kitty that sits on the porch and just waits.
