oh hello my pretty little blog!  it's been a while.  a long while.  a very long while.  I do apologize!  
so a lot has happened since I last put fingers to keyboard.  but isn't that the joy of life.  things continue to happen and life rolls on.  
last I updated there had been a hurricane and a snowstorm.  I lost a lot of stuff including my shed, lawnmower, power (my current record is now 10+ days...not something I want to try again), and a tree in the backyard.
