I know ... my last post was November 29th. And perhaps you've been checking in here and thinking I have dropped off the face of the earth. But ... I'm still here!
Right there after Thanksgiving I got sick with congestion/cough/sneezing/snotting/ respiratory and ear stuff. It took 2 months, 2 complete cycles of antibiotics, 2 bottles of Mucinex DM, prednisone and did I mention 2 months before I finally started to feel normal again. Most days I'd leave the office, drag myself home, and collapse on the couch only to fall asleep in 10 minutes. But, thank God, I'm finally feeling better.
Big news from the East of The Bridge country is that Betsy is engaged! She met Peter at a missionary camp in North Carolina and they've been traveling back and forth from Florida to North Carolina and burning up the phone lines ever since. We met him briefly in November and then he was with us at Christmas for a few days. A few Saturday's ago he drove 5 hours south and Betsy drove 5 hours north and they met in Brunswick Georgia and climbed the St. Simon's lighthouse and he proposed at the top of the lighthouse. They are now planning a wedding for June 3rd and planning and plans are in full swing.
The funniest remark about the engagement was Brendyn's who said, " I don't know him well enough to call him Uncle!". I told him to come up with a list of questions and we'd have Peter answer them. Apparently Brendyn must have thought he had a vote in the matter! LOL!
Last weekend Christina and I hosted one of our Crop in The Country crops, this time in Sumterville since the Lake Pan facility wasn't available. It was a smaller venue but it was good. Linda and Natasha and Jules all came up and we had a blast. I like the smaller crops in that we can all chat together. There was lots of laughter, lively conversation and even some productivity happening. Linda worked on a new clock for Hilltop, Natasha was working on her Brave Girls online class things and Jules, Christina and I were doing scrapbooking pages with kids being a common subject.
So .. there you have it. You are all caught up now.
And I'll try to be here more often ........ I promise!!
Welcome back! I missed you!
