Yes, I totally played the disappearing game on you all yet again. This past year has been absolutely nuts. As some of you all know, I had been helping out my hubbies family with his parents after his mom broke her arm last July. Then my father-in-law's cancer took a turn for the worst and we lost him this past December. I truly believe that was one of the hardest losses that I have ever faced in my life. My inlaws are truly gifts from God, and they mean so much more to me than I can put into words.
After my father-in-law passed, we continued to come and help out my mother in law, and to make sure she wasn't alone and had everything she needed. (Not just Frank and I, but the whole family was doing this) However, my husband made the decision that we needed to move in with her so that she had someone here more consistently and to help ease the strain of his siblings that have children and grandchildren coming into the world. Even though nobody was complaining and was continuing to march forward, Frank knew that this was the proper thing to do. So we had the Invisible Fence installed here, and moved the majority of our house over here, and now here we are. So far, it does seem to be working out well for everyone. We still need to finish cleaning out the house and work on getting it sold. I'm not 100% certain what the long-term plan is with our living situation. For now, though, I believe that things are working out quite nicely here, and the dogs really seem to enjoy having their very own Gran.
Once things get settled in, and I have a full-on routine again here, I plan on doing crochet patterns, and recipes again. We aren't really gardening or raising any kind of animals, but I do have 2 patio lemon trees. (not sure how long it will take to get lemons, but I'm holding out hope!!!)
Anyways!!! Let me leave you with a couple of fun pictures for your viewing pleasure!!!
