Good Morning Dear Blogging Friends!

I've been gone so long.  I was not sure I would come back, but I did miss this mode of
communication.  I missed your visits, your comments, and visiting all of your blogs.

I have moved, and downsized.  I learned that moving is a big job, but it is also a rewarding
job.  Now, there are many less boxes of "stuff" in our home.  Now, we don't have a large,
open attic, where I found it all too easy to store all those things that I was not sure what to
do with. 

I had help in moving.

I've been enjoying all of the beauty of this season, in my part of the country.

I've had the great privilege of attending five "Grandparent Day" happenings, of my local
grandchildren.

I've had fun making final decorating touches to our home.  I am thankful for the berry
bushes that I discovered outside our front door.

I've wiped away tears, and consoled when necessary.

I've watched made up plays and observed imaginations being lived out:)

I've fussed over carefully chosen Halloween costumes.

So you see, I have been quite busy, living a simple, yet somewhat complex everyday.

I am thankful for so many days of lovely weather!  I am grateful for so many things in
daily life.  The older I get, the more they all mean to me. 

Thank you for stopping by!  Wishing you touches of joy today, whatever today looks like
for you.
