Time keeps on slippin....into the future

Goodness...I promised I was going to start back blogging.  I need to put things down.  I know the benefit for me.  It helps me "sort" life.  But time has a way of "slippin" by before you know it.

Two weekends ago, my sisters and I returned to the beach where we took our sweet departed mother just 4 week before she died, four years ago.

My sisters and I have been making an annual event of a week at Hilton Head Island for the last few years.  A glorious week of laughter, eating, thrifting and sleelping ....if we choose.  Great tiime to reconnect.  My sisters live 4 and 5 hours away from me.  I seldom get to see them together.  This year, I caused the change up in location.  Last fall I decided to change jobs and haven't acrued the amount of vacation I want.  I'm a little guarded about those days because my children/grandchildren all live out of state and I go there fairly frequently. anyway, off to Topsail Island, NC we went.  I have a dear friend who owns this precious cottage.  I rent it every year for a week and then a couple of weekends thrown in as well.  So the Sister's 3 ended up there.

We walked and shopped and talked and talked some more.   It was great.  My oldest sis in not a "dog" person  due to severe breathing allergies, but since my doggie is hypoallergenic, she went along for the weekend.  I even caught Sis feeding her ice cream!  It was a great weekend.  We talked about Mother. How it was when we were there with her that weekend 4 years ago.  We talked about how she was when she took her last breath...it was us, Sister's 3 with her that night as well, just a month later...in the wee hours of that morning.  A memory forever etched in our minds.  Miss you Mother, we went to the beach...and your were there too.... <3

Where have I been?

I just stumbled across my blog today.  See, it has been a while...a long while and much has changed for me.  I find it hard to believe I have not written any post's in over a year. And, it has been a YEAR at that.  A year of new and old and happy and sad.


Today I have been busy merging machine embroidery files for a flash drive for my NEW Sophia Embroidery Machine!  I seldom use this laptop b/c it truly is slow and has had virus work in the past and that seemed to slow it down the last time I had it "fixed".  And, my hubby bought me an ipad two Christmases ago and that works nice ...and light.  So....with all of that said, I haven't spent much time on this lonely laptop and just saw the blog icon. So, here I am!


I have actually been thinking about blogging lately.  I do occasionally read blogs, usually from post on fb.  So, I can tell I am getting in the sharing mode again! And I am excited to catch up on the people I use to follow...and add new ones too!


I think I will begin a blog fest tomorrow...my most favorite holiday...EASTER!  I have much I want to share...even if just for myself! I find it very therapeutic to write and rehash life for me.  Helps me to sort things out for myself and rethink some things.


See you tomorrow.....Sue Ellen.
