I'm Back - With a New Plan

Well those three weeks of blog break were nice, 

in their own mind-resting way.

Gosh I missed you guys. So many times I said to myself, I wish I could share this-or-that with my blogging friends.

(Matthew makes a cake for his 13th birthday)

So slowly an idea took shape ... while huge changes were taking place within the family.

What's that? You'd like to hear the family news first? Oh good, I'm dying to tell it ~

Mr. Redo will be retiring from his State job the end of October. Eek, can you believe it? Pretty exciting times, because ...

Mr. Redo will then start his new job with a county government, doing the same thing he's been doing (computers) but part time! We'll have three-day weekends, every single weekend!

Our family is so excited we hardly know what to do with ourselves. Did I mention his commute will be cut in half, from two hours daily to one hour daily (round trip)? 

Well, this good news and a small increase in pay (drawing pension plus earning income) means I no longer have to be frantic about growing this blog to earn money.

Which means I can just play and have fun and post whenever I feel like it, posting whatever I feel like!

So I'm back ... whenever the mood hits.

I'm so extremely glad to be back with all of you. 

Hugs ~ Mary
