It’s happened again. An extended break from blogging followed by a lot of overthinking on my part as to how to come back and say hello while acknowledging said blogging break.
Maybe I just accomplished that.
See, that wasn’t so hard.
While I was away, life was full of the ordinary ups and down that I often share here. But in addition to that, I am thrilled to share that my daughter and son-in-law welcomed a son into the world.

My grandson was born on November 4th, and he is growing and thriving with all of the love and care from his momma and daddy.
As for me, I’m still getting used to saying ‘grandson’. And seeing my baby with her baby is a wonder and a joy that I can’t quite fully express with words.
Now that I’m back into a more regular routine in my day-to-day life, I hope to get back to a regular routine of posting here. As always, thank you for your continued support.
Love, Kelly
P.S. I’ve had some issues with my website the past couple of weeks. Last fall I was transferred to a new web hosting provider which came with a few hiccups. Then this week I have learned more than I ever wanted to know about bots, DNS, and CDN, but hopefully it translates to a faster viewing experience for you that is also safer and more secure. I have enlisted the help of Cloudflare so for now you may see a brief screen verifying that you are not a bot. Thank you so much for your patience while I worked out these issues.
Congratulations….grandchildren are such a blessing. Glad you are back to blogging.
