What About Bob. Or, "Baby Steps".

My mantra.
For my blog.
For my life.







Pomp

It's not going to happen.
No going back, no catching up.
No emotional explanation of the day
that he got the nomination not to mention
the appointment.

No recording of all of the days in between.
The anxiety. The hope. The WORK.

I thought I could pull it together and "catch up" this blog.

Life isn't working out like that for me.

I can only work in the now.

And vow to pick up and try again

tomorrow.

Life Is A Highway

Almost 8 months.
That simply must stop
(I tell myself).

I finally put a feeling and yes, a word on WHY it is so
difficult to get into this blog again.
Maybe a few words.
PHOTO TORNADO.
Giving someone access to my photos,
AND BUYING HER A CAMERA
*without* giving her specific files in which to upload
was my own doing.
 Lest there be any confusion regarding which girl
(Sorry AJ. I CAN'T find resent pics)
********
 Now I live with the consequences.
Seriously people, we are talking 15-20 THOUSAND
photos in no particular order.
No order at all.
*******************
While not feeling well, I spent a little time
reading a blog that I really enjoyed.
It was my own,
from time gone by.

No.More.
I'm back. Really back.
I rest my case. No this is not a recent photo. At all.
(I do like my hair though...hmm)
**********
I randomly opened and shut 15,000 photos
in the hopes of scrounging up 10 for Nathan's upcoming graduation.
It took days.
This is the best I can do right now.

I feel compelled to get 2012/13 summed up if only in photos.

It would take me an hour to come up with one of each kid in 2013.
It's that bad.
**********
Patience please as I make my way through thousands of pics
traveling down Memory Lane.

Picking Up The Pieces of A Broken Blog

I've been thinking
of revamping the face of this blog.

You know, come back with something fresh and new.

I'm thinking that just.coming.back is a good thing.

I did add a page for AJ's photography, which is one of her hidden talents.
I've posted a few but will wait on her to manage the page.

How to recapture almost a year? 

Where to begin? Where to end?

With a dying battery.

Speechless in Saugatuck

Readers tonight
will get an extra post
since it will keep me awake
while waiting for teenager
to arrive home.

No words though.
