It’s beginning to feel like Fall…my favorite season of the year. The windows are open and there’s a cool breeze. A welcomed cool breeze after the hot summer we’ve had. I love this time of year.
If you noticed the date on my last blog post, you’ll see that it has been a while. Much too long. I’m ready to write again. I have a brand new camera and it’s time to take photos again. It’s a really nice Canon and definitely over my head, but I’ll figure it out. In the meantime, I’ve purchased a Genesis framework update for my website, a new theme from 316 Designs and a few other technical things that I hope will help as I begin writing again. In the beginning, you’ll probably see some changes when you log in, but I’ll get it done eventually! Then again, I may be the only one here!
You’ll see some categories that will eventually be written and developed with photos of projects I’m working on – like sewing & quilting, family history & genealogy, Our Iowa Home and Sweet Home Chicago. Hopefully, one of these days, there will be a category for photography. I literally wore out my last camera – a Sony. I have hope for the new one.
It’s amazing how many “technical” changes there have been in the last two years in the world of blogging…not for the better either. I found a plug-in that took me back to the original work sheet that looks familiar to me. It’s not that I mind change – I don’t. It’s just that the new one had no visible way to add photos that I could find…and I love to add photos!
Three years ago, we leased our first vintage apartment in Chicago which we had for two years. A year ago, we purchased a condo there and have enjoyed decorating it. We’re especially enjoying being close to our sons and their families. I love it when we’re there and we get to pick up two little granddaughters from school! I especially enjoyed my time with them this summer having Grandmommy Camp!
I’m loving this sweet journey home we’re on. It’s hard to believe that Doug and I have been married for four and a half years now. So many adventures and fun times together already…and we’ve only just begun. From now on, I will take the time to blog about some of those adventures. By the way, take a moment to read the new page entitled Cam. On the sidebar on the right, you’ll see a header “Pages”. Scroll down to the one about Cam.
If you’re still out there by any chance, please leave a comment. Of course, first, I must figure out how you can leave comments on this new blog! 😉
We are happily settled in our apartment in the Chicago neighborhood of Ravenswood. My youngest son and his family is a short 3 block walk away from our apartment. Tonight, we will be there for my birthday dinner. Quaint shops – and a Starbucks – are just a short walk away. Thanksgiving dinner was here in our small apartment- all eight of us. Doug and I cooked the ham, turkey and cranberry salad and everyone else brought the sides. My three and five year old granddaughters decided they would rather be at the “grown-up’s table”. We moved them there and everything was perfect.
