Well...Hello

  So, I've been absent for a rather long time.  Life just picked me up and swept me away and jeepers, it's been a very interesting year!

  In the seven months of my absence, some pretty big changes have happened!

    To begin with...I moved!  Not far, simply 40 miles north of my previous location, but I did move from the country to a 55,000 pop. town.  That's been an adjustment!!  And for the first time in 14 years, there will be no horde or gaggle (which ever term you prefer) of children perched at a fence, or a window on the rainy years, to watch the cows come down from summer pasture this weekend.

    I also attended the nearby State Fair for the first time in 11 years.  It was amazing!  Even more so because most of my younger siblings had either never experienced it before, or were too young to remember.  Plus we had my niece and nephew with us.  Also, you can see something on a food vendor menu and when you eat it, find that it's a disappointment.  Corndogs though, they never disappoint.

    I've been hanging out with The Munchkins aka my niece and nephew, a lot.  I went down to babysit at their house twice and then they've been at are house several days out of the week, every week for a while.  I'd somewhat forgotten how amusing little, little kids can be. 

    I've also made amazing new friends and grown much closer to old ones. 
    My dear friend, Keturah Lamb, came to visit before she went off to Germany.  It actually happened before we moved, and we went on a little hike up through a gorgeous mountain gap nearby.

    I am also looking forward to hopefully receiving a visit from two more dear friends, PioneerGirl and MovieCritic.  If all goes well, they will pop by and be the first of my friends to visit me in the new house!

    Back in March, my oldest girlfriend returned from her mission in Canada and we got to catch up after 18 months.  She took me out for lunch and it was so good to just sit and talk again.

    And the lovely Olivia and I were able to squeeze in a movie night - er - afternoon, where we watched a bit of a TV show we both love.  We need to do that again, Olivia!

    Oh, I did get to go see three movies in theatre, Avengers: Endgame, Aladdin and Spiderman: Far From Home.  Loved all three, though there were a few irritating moments in both Marvel movies, but Aladdin was the absolute best!


  And that's pretty much a wrap on what I've been doing.  Tomorrow I will join in Hamlette's Tolkien Party and maybe do the Classic's tag that Keturah tagged me for.
