PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Happy 8th Birthday Drew!

 Happy Birthday Drew!

 I can't believe you are 8! You were just a wee little thing, but look at you now ... growing up before our eyes. Even if we need spectacles to see you. Wait, are you mocking us?
HEY YOU!
I mean, it's sights like this that make me realize that you will be off to junior and middle school so soon, and my lovely handwritten letters will possibly be replaced by e-mails or texts. Don't stop writing to me, please?
Then two seconds later, you are still that adorable little boy who likes to get cuddles, play, and get presents.
Hugs with Dad
Naptime on Dad

I'm so glad you let me tape you while you read your Holiday Card, in your own words ...


 Happy Birthday my Drew. I'm so excited to be there with you on your birthday this year (for the first time), and then for your baptism. Such milestones!

Lots of love and birthday wishes, 
with real presents and hugs in person,

Auntie Nettie
