Back to Blogging

Well, it's been a while since I've done this. My daughter, Laura, complained yesterday that I hadn't updated my blog in a long time. I pointed out that she hadn't posted on hers for even longer (like a couple of years). In typical fashion, she responded maybe 10 minutes later (instant message) with a link to her new blog which included a new post containing photos. She was at work but said she was bored. Apparently.

Okay, so I guess I've been challenged. I suppose the problem is that I feel like I need to post something related to a particular subject instead of just rambling. Something coherent. I feel like I've been a bit brain dead lately. Then the sun came out today and as I was driving to the Y after work, I realized that the rain and clouds had slowed me down. Good thing I don't live in Seattle.

My last post was in June. I was not an empty nester at that point (my excuse?) since my college student daughter was home for the summer. It seems like the summer began late and then finished way too quickly. I worked in the yard and the squirrels ate my corn again. We took a vacation in Glacier National Park (beautiful) and attended an out of town family wedding. My daughter went back to Boston in September, having never found a summer job. And here it is the middle of November. What happened?

I hope to defog my brain and post more often. I feel a need to do something creative, too. Don't know what that will be. We'll see. . .
