I know, I know....

Yes, it's been a while. Ok, it's been a long while. However - you'll be spared a long list of excuses because there are only two and they are as follows:
1) I didn't want to,
2) I was busy and didn't want to.
I have to feel both inspired and like I have time on my hands in order to sit down and prepare a post and recently I've felt neither. So having said that I will now tell you that it is my goal over the course of this next week to get myself caught back up on this blog...birthdays, holidays, outings, etc. that have taken place lately. So there you have it, and now that I've published this paragraph for all the world to see I will be forced to keep my word! Oh bother.....
