I so enjoy reading about your family, home, and stitching. I was sorry to see that you had decided to stop blogging, so I was surprised and delighted that you've reconsidered. I think it's a great idea to only post when you feel like it, and don't put pressure on yourself. I'm sorry that January was such a tough month for your family. I hope everyone is doing better, and things are settling down. I look forward to reading your posts whenever you feel up to writing them.<br />MaryBluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07353700412493022824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-28829991879332372352023-02-07T15:48:04.367-06:002023-02-07T15:48:04.367-06:00I am definitely going to take the pressure off of ...I am definitely going to take the pressure off of me on posting. I didn’t have it in me to post in January or even relive the calamity of errors in a post. For now, just when I feel like it. Little Miles definitely has a stand up hairdo. It will not lay down at all. Paul Allen’s was like that when he was born but quickly grew and lay down. He is all smiles though. <br />Hope you were able to accomplish a lot in the house. I know it is still sad down there. I follow a guy from the University of Florida (boo hiss) that keeps up with the foliage and agriculture studies they are doing. I have found that so fascinating.

So glad you are back :) Just post when you want to--I try to do twice a month and it seems to be a good plan for me right now. Any more often, would be stressful.<br /><br />I'm so sorry about your difficult January! There are some months (or years!) that just seem filled with more worries and sadness than normal for some reason. I hope your February is going better so far. Loved seeing little Miles with his fluffy hair--reminds me exactly of my youngest son's head of hair :) <br /><br />Take care now, Sandy... hope your mom is doing okay ♥Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369505808572306850.post-10734613158039143042023-02-07T11:07:52.678-06:002023-02-07T11:07:52.678-06:00January kicked my tail and there is still a little...January kicked my tail and there is still a little of it left but not the overwhelming of it.
