Hi everyone! I'm still around -- just haven't had time to put together a post. First things first; I'm so, so sorry that I haven't been by to visit my dear fellow blogging friends! I have to say that this situation is taking a little getting used to. 😉 I do love having Mr. Forest Manor here during the day, but... it certainly changes my schedule. I consider this a rehearsal for retirement; we're in training, I suppose. 😜 Anyhoo, with both of us here all the time, we're consuming an awful lot of food. Suffice it to say, I've probably gained back every pound I had lost last year. Sigh. At any rate, the kitchen is definitely getting a workout. I'm constantly thinking that I'm so thankful we had the re-model done in 2012, and I'm glad we gave careful thought to our new storage spaces, in addition to the new sink, stove, and dishwasher.
Hello All! Are you staying sane and healthy?
Hi everyone! It's a dreary, rainy day here in central North Carolina, but I want to wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day.
Hi everyone! Are you happy to turn the calendar page on another month?
Hello everyone! Did you have a good Valentine's Day? My mom and I went to lunch, which we thoroughly enjoyed, and then I spent the evening with my darling Hal. I put this table together over a period of days, and I had a lot of fun with it. I'm so happy with the way it turned out; I think it's my favorite Valentine's table so far. Well actually, my favorite is the year I accidentally put the silverware on the wrong side of the plates, took all the pictures and posted, before I realized what I'd done. It would be hard to top that one. 😏
Hello Friends! In January of this year, I began my tenth year of blogging -- I can hardly believe it. In some ways it seems like it hasn't been any time at all since I published that first post in 2011; then in other ways, it feels like I've been doing this always. I've noticed some of my blog friends have also been writing their blog for ten years; I didn't realize that so many of us had started around the same time. I just always assumed that everyone else had been at this a lot longer than me. :D
Happy Monday and Happy February everyone! Wow, where did January go? I hope you're all having a good winter and staying healthy.
